Party Time is Over

Once I get it in my head that I am going to do something, it can sometimes become an obsession. Like FKGuy’s 40th birthday. I decided we would have a party. Floating pool lights,tiki torches,  loads of alcohol and way too much food later, we had  party. The night before we had a kickoff dinner filled with wine, great food and a Darth Vader helmet, all thanks to the great people at The Flaming Buoy. Yes, this party needed a kickoff dinner.

Happy Birthday, Florida Keys Guy

I’m not exactly sure when we started getting older. I have been lying about my age – in both directions – for years, so the fact that we have now come to the point of celebrating FKGuy’s 40th birthday has taken me by surprise. I’m not sure why I’m so shocked by this, as even I can usually handle basic math. I understand that it is a purely emotional response. We just can’t possibly be this old. Yet… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Florida Keys Guy

My Parents Went To France…

The old, but fabulous spatula.

My parents recently returned from a French river cruise. They spent a couple of nights in Paris and then headed to Lyon for the cruise. (Yes, I did book the trip for them). Before leaving, my mom graciously asked if there was anything I wanted them to bring back. In fact, there was. Continue reading My Parents Went To France…

More Birthdays, More Surprises

One of my roommates from college celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. She was less than pleased about this particular milestone and was convinced that her birthday was going to suck and none of her friends would be around to celebrate. She was wrong.  Continue reading More Birthdays, More Surprises

Surprise!

The Pez Cake

April has now become officially known (at least to me) as “50th birthday party month“. May is shaping up to be “40th birthday month” but you’ll hear more about that as it unfolds. A week ago I went to a birthday lunch for a very good friend. About 20 people gathered at Lola’s on Harrison for an afternoon of good food, friends and a Pez cake.  Continue reading Surprise!

Florida Keys Girl’s Insider’s Guide to the Keys

I was recently approached by the folks at Cheapflights.com to answer a few questions about the Florida Keys and Key West  for their Insider’s Guide to the Keys. Naturally, since I can’t shut up about how great Key West, and all of the Keys are, I answered. At length. Great restaurants? Check. Fun things to do . . . → Read More: Florida Keys Girl’s Insider’s Guide to the Keys

Introducing Babka Bars

If you have been following this blog for a while, you know I have a dog, Babka. You also may know that I am completely obsessed with her and she goes nearly everywhere with me. I try to feed her only healthy and delicious food and treats. When I found out that some of the treats . . . → Read More: Introducing Babka Bars

Goodbye, Old Friend

More butt imprints... and dog hair

I like to keep things for a long time. Sometimes long after it would be appropriate to replace. We have a giant, 300 pound dinosaur of a television. It is ten years old and it works fine, so other than newer models being sleeker and taking up less space, I see no point in replacing it until it dies (which FKGuy hopes is soon).  My sofabed, on the other hand, has been dying for quite a long time.
