You know what I love about snowy days? The princess pupcicle LOVES snow! I mean, I love snow…but she LOVES it. A lot like the fish in Finding Nemo when he sees bubbles…BUBBLES! After frolicking in the snow for a bit (and an initial shoveling of the sidewalk), the pupcicle and I are cuddled upstairs, … Continue reading Snow Day!
As I’m pulling out Christmas decorations this morning, there was a knock at the door. As I protected the mailman from a very playful pupcicle, I was presented with a box FULL of April goodies, such as these delicious tidbits. Christmas cookies via mail? It is indeed the most magical time of the year!!! Continue reading Christmas cookies
When it comes to cranberries, it seems everyone has an opinion about which is better–canned or fresh. I’m in the Fresh camp, but I know people who are staunch proponents of the canned jellied variety. Apparently something about a slice of a canned cranberry log is appealing.

Emeralds and rubies and flying monkeys, oh my! Sharing a birthday with Ann is Marilyn, who is, quite simply, my favorite Broadway star of all! And … Continue reading Wicked Fun
So for those of you thinking this would be a blog about tequila, alas, you would be wrong. This is a post about a place in Chelsea called Tequila Chito’s. It’s a dive of a Mexican place that is, honestly, my go-to when it comes to going out. And the person I usually go to … Continue reading Yo Quiero Tequila!
I know that I have already written a post on Stout extolling the virtues of its sauce, but since it’s Jonas’s birthday today–I feel like reminiscing about the first time we went to Stout. As previously mentioned, Stout is the place where the Texas Exes meet. This means that on game day it’s a bit…well…crazy. A sea … Continue reading The National Beer of Texas!
G’day ya’ll. You’re probably wondering why I’m here. I love to travel. And write. And when I think about it, my best experiences while traveling usually revolve around two things: funny mishaps and eating & drinking. Because, well, I am a die-hard foodie who, along with food, loves coffee, wine, and beer. Plus, I tend … Continue reading Introductions Are In Order
