I attended a workshop this weekend by David Romanelli, author of Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment: Getting to ecstacy through wine, chocolate, and your ipod playlist. I have’t read the book…yet. I will. I found Dave’s insights and anecdotes to be refreshingly grounded—he seemed to be a real person with a real message. It …

This dessert is so good it’s not even funny. For some reason, I put it in the freezer, most likely because I thought I wasn’t going to eat all of it before it went bad….Wrong! It will keep for several days in the fridge, and for several weeks in the freezer. It’s probably more of …
If you enjoy going out to eat, you’ve surely noticed the specialty martini craze of the past several years. My first experience with it occurred in 2001 near Boston at a place called Jimmy’s at the Burlington Mall. In fact, I just Googled Jimmy’s to see if I could view the menu, and sadly, it …

If you have a weak stomach, don’t read this! Today, I was making a new recipe that entailed juicing several limes, and peeling a couple clementines. When I had the recipe blending in the vita-mix, I decided it would be a nice touch (pretty and zesty) to add some lime and clementine zest to the …
I made a salad this morning for brunch—weird? Maybe. But I wanted it! I got the salad dressing recipe from Kimberly Snyder. It was light and had a great citrus taste, but not too tart—if you like the tart-sweet combo, this is a good one (you can add a little extra lime juice too if …
Matthew and I had a great day yesterday—we stayed inside except for a quick trip to Wegmans for a piece of haddock and some ranch dressing. Matthew really wanted fish for lunch, and since I refused to take him to McDonald’s (which would be his first choice for a fish sandwich), I had to talk him into …
