I know the cupcake fad has come and gone, but I am still right in the thick of it. I love cupcakes. I have posted pictures of all kinds of cupcakes to my personal Facebook page recently, leaving friends drooling on their keyboards. But what is so great about them?

We had tried 2¢ moments after they opened around New Years, when they were cash only and still getting a handle on things. I keep meaning to go back for dinner now that they accept credit cards (I don’t usually carry cash) but just haven’t gotten there yet. Instead we […]
I am fortunate to have a number of people in my world I consider close friends (don’t worry… this isn’t going to be one of those sappy “I love you, man” posts… keep reading). I have the good fortune of working with one of these lucky people on a new […]
Sometimes leftovers are great: pasta, slow cooked beef, hot fudge sundaes (not all together). But sometimes you have a bunch of leftovers in the fridge and it just seems so sad to stick it on a paper plate, toss it in the microwave and call it a meal. I suppose […]
I had the rare opportunity to be traveling early in the day last week, which left me hungry and needing lunch on the drive from the mainland to Key West. But where to go? It had to be someplace with outdoor seating that allows dogs. Plus, I wanted somewhere with […]

What is better than a glass of pinot noir in the middle of the afternoon? Sixteen of them. Every year, nearing the end of February, the South Beach Food and Wine Festival rolls around, and I avoid it like the plague. Why? Really? You have to ask? OK, then I […]
I often complain about the lack of good customer service around. Nordstrom, however, has cultivated a loyal customer base by offering truly excellent customer service, which I enjoyed firsthand this weekend. I’ll start at the beginning. I very rarely wear makeup, and when I do, it is a little eye […]
