Tonight begins Passover, the annual celebration of the Jewish people’s exodus from Egypt. We have two seders, or as I like to call them, “The big meal”. Family and friends gather (fortunately not at my house) and eat charoset (it reminds of the mortar used in brick-building, but is presumably […]

The Sun-Sentinel has once again announced the Best of Blogs winners in spectacular fashion. Bloggers, friends of Bloggers and even FKGuy gathered at YOLO in Fort Lauderdale for the grand announcement. It is interesting to put faces with blogs, that is for sure. I can only imagine what they thought […]
There are places I walk by all the time and never go to. Why? I have no idea. There is something that just doesn’t inspire me. Square One is one of those places. There is no good reason for it, I just had never been there before last weekend. But, […]
I have been known to eat more than my fair share of Chipotle burrito bowls (vegetarian, with the sauteed vegetables, extra hot sauce). I tend to go for the bowl and skip the 300-calorie tortilla. The burrito bowl happens for dinner at least once a week. Recently, I have been […]

I hesitate to call this a restaurant review because I am not sure if we can classify Sandy’s that way. Yes, they serve food, and they even cook it to order. But the only seating (at what I affectionately refer to as the “chef’s table”) is a few stools by […]
Tennis is the only sport I really love. I am working on “loving” running, but so far, I find it kind of torturous, even though I have done two half marathons and after my knee surgery (coming up on April 21 – you can read about it then) I will […]
When my friends told me about Orchid Key Bar, in the Orchid Key Hotel, I was stunned. A hotel bar? That locals frequent? Are you kidding? Apparently not. From the street you would never even know it exists. Tucked away, through the parking lot and next to the pool is […]
