I love soup. I know I’ve mentioned this before–like every January, but January seems to be a good time for soup. At least in the Northern Hemisphere. Of course, I’m one of those weird-can-eat-soup-any-day-of-the-year people so I don’t necessarily need cold weather to indulge, just a spoon. This is very handy when one is experiencing … Continue reading Soup, Glorious Soup!
I know you’re thinking “what a silly question,” but an appropriate one for this post…because a) wine why not? and b) Elizabeth of Traveling Wine Chick, the winner of the last Monthly Wine Writing Challenge, selected the theme for this month’s Challenge to be CHOICES.

The only … Continue reading Birthdays Galore!
Because they have Irish Coffee! What? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Of course, everyone knows my position of coffee (nectar of the gods–in case you’re new here!), but when you add cream and whiskey, well, kids, it just becomes magical! There are several theories as to who created this wonderful drink. The … Continue reading Why Do Irish Eyes Smile?

I’m quite sure NONE of you, providing you pay attention, will find #1 shocking. But in all my research, the … Continue reading Top 10…ish Things To Do in Ireland
I can’t fault you for thinking we might be visiting Texas this month. However, I mentioned cliche’ last month, and I think that in terms of cliches and March–we definitely need to go to…Ireland. That’s right, home of Guinness, Bono, Liam Neeson, Irish Coffee, Maureen O’Hara, Jameson, the Blarney Stone and, of course, Guinness (yeah, … Continue reading Luck O’ The Irish!
Before you yell at me, the title was a quote from a chef at a wine bistro at which I used to work. The chef had a way with food and was the polar opposite with people. Definitely a bear of a man. He always only ever wore a black t-shirt, cargo shorts, and vans. … Continue reading Soup is Simple, Stupid…
