By now you know that I have been training for the Disney half marathon in January. You have heard about my 5AM trainings, trying to run faster, sometimes unsuccessfully, and all of the other drama that goes along with the preparations for the impending 13.1 miles. This past weekend, I […]

Last night my family gathered at my house, sixteen people total, for the big meal. Two days in the kitchen plus endless grocery runs produced this, and more: I hope you had as great a Thanksgiving as I did. I will be back Monday with a recap of the Hog’s […]
Image by Getty Images via @daylife It is my favorite holiday. Why? Really great food with no religious stuff to get in the way of eating (like fasting, for example, that clearly gets in the way of eating.) There is also the Macy’s parade, which although I always say I […]

Blue Heaven is one of those place that has an eternally long line. You can wait an hour an a half just to sit down on a Sunday morning. Fortunately, just across the street is Le Creperie. Yolande Findlay used to have a little crepe place right on Duval street. […]
