 Drink local First of all, 48 degrees in May is an unacceptable outside temperature for a Floridian. Yet there I was, arriving in Milwaukee, to 48 degrees. In a sundress. With a fleece (at least I was kind of prepared). And flip flops. I went outside to meet my friend Bill, and I realized that I had no idea what kind of car he drove. So I started looking in windows, only to find people giving me really odd looks. Continue reading 18 Hours in Milwaukee: The Food 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 I absolutely love the Waterfront Playhouse. It is right at Mallory Square, so once you get past the throngs of tourists there for sunset, it is a pleasure.

Just the other day, as we were sitting outside eating, a friend passed by, saw us and said, “Hmmm…. every time I eat here, I always see you.” That is because we eat there all the time. It’s great. So, when I was asked to get involved in coordinating the wine dinner for the Key West Food and Wine Festival, I gladly obliged.

 Chuck from T-Vine, hovering dangerously close to the sharks. The Grand tasting at the Key West food and Wine Festival is always a winner. Why? There are loads of wines and no crowds. This year’s event was held at the Key West Aquarium. There is something really cool about trying a variety of wines while sharks swim a few feet away. Plus, being Key West, there were mermaids, g-strings and more. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: Grand Tasting  You can never have too many stems... The Key West Food and Wine Festival has become one of the most anticipated events of the year. It draws a crowd from all over the place, and for good reason: A) It is in January, in Florida; B) It’s not so overpriced and crowded, like some other festivals around the country and C) The unique events are really fun. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: Day 1 Recap The Third Annual Key West Food and Wine Festival is upon us, people. It kicks off today with the Barefoot Beach party followed by neighborhood strolls. Tomorrow night is the Grand Tasting at the Key West Aquarium.
