True Story
True Story Yes, it’s true. The last time I was in Paris was one year ago today. You have no idea how much I miss it. The food, the music, the clothes. All these French women, slinking around in black. I may as well be in Manhattan, but the French did it first. Flying over... »
The day of days…
Yep, it’s “that day” again. The day that makes so many people mushy, so many other people angry, and still others just jaded and cynical. Which one are you? I must confess that I’m one of the mushy ones. I’ve been planning a special Valentine’s dinner for weeks, complete with shrimp, lobster, pasta, and... »
Uh oh…
Forgive me, everyone – it’s been over 2 weeks since my last blog-fession! But, I have an excuse: I had jury duty. Yes, for the past two weeks, I have been serving my country by serving on a jury. The good news is, it ended. The bad news is,... »
Valentine thoughts
It’s coming close; it’s inevitable; it’s on a SUNDAY!!!! Oy vay! What was Caesar thinking when he invented this calendar? We can’t do anything about the day of the week, but certainly we can enjoy it still, with a minimum of modifications (say that fast 3 times). Our own Amy Reily has been cited again,... »
Discovery
There’s a new kid in town! I was waiting on my daughter to show up somewhere, & I investigated a nearby shop, “The Cupcake Gallery.” Now, personally, I don’t “get” all this hoo hoo about cupcakes – give me a dense, moist, chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, & I’m melting (sometimes literally). But, I went... »
New Year’s Eve
You know, there’s just something about sitting in the lobby of an 85-year-old Hotel, surfing on a wireless connection, sipping 15-year-old Scotch, waiting for a Gala Dinner-Dance (which is also 85-years-old) to begin this New Year’s Eve, that makes me think that everything’s still all right with the world. Go hug your honey. Go SIP some... »
‘Tis the season
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas at my house. This week, I’ve made a ton of fudge, white chocolate-dipped Oreos, and Oreo truffles. And that’s just the beginning – I’ve got about 15 cookie recipes I’d like to make this week. We give lots/most of it away to friends,... »
Scotch, anyone?
Several years ago, my husband & I were at a business dinner, “wining and dining” some clients of his. The setting was a local pub, which serves some excellent food, and which has an amazing array of single-malt Scotches. After dinner, we ordered desserts & after-dinner drinks of choice – mine was... »
Hello world!
Well! This is a new one for me: the classic Southern “church lady,” writing a blog for Eat Something Sexy. Of course, I know that there’s only a snowball’s chance in Hell that someone I know IRL would stumble upon this blog, so I’m not worried! I’m very excited, in a non-carnal sense, to be... »
