Luckily, It’s been a while since I had one of those meals that I looked forward to with great anticipation only to feel let down. Because in this blog I promised to write about the good the bad and the ugly; I feel compelled to share this experience. I think this was just the “boring.” [...]

This weekend we had the great pleasure of having lunch at the Rose & Crown Pub located in the UK pavillion in Epcot. You may be asking yourself; “during the food and wine festival why would they confine themselves to a single restaurant?” The answer is two fold, 93 degree heat and an impending rain [...]

Ahh, fall is in the air and the hearty soups that go with it are back on the menu! (you’d think I’m writing from Vermont, not Florida where it was 93 degrees yesterday!) In our case, we have to lower the air conditioner to experience fall. True, we miss out on the turning of the [...]

I haven’t written in so long — I’ve been cooking and eating but I haven’t had time to write and I keep forgetting to take pictures when I cook. UGH! So instead of a recipe today I want to share my surprise trip to Chelesea Market. Last week I was in New London, Connecticut shooting [...]
