For the record, I am still in a matza coma while writing this. The last two nights brought the traditional Passover Seder, celebrating the Jews’ exodus from Egypt. There are two, I believe, because if you screw something up the first night, you get a do-over the second. Also, you […]

Ahhhhh, the glorious days of lounging in Key West, being totally relaxed with nothing to do. Alas, that was not this past weekend. We had plenty to keep us busy. The weekend kicked off with a feast of sushi at Origami. Yum, yum, yum. In addition, Babka got to play […]
The coming weeks are filled with holidays, celebrations and kids being off from school. Granted, the only way the school schedule affects me is with less traffic (woohoo!) But with all that going on, there are things to catch up on around here, so I am going to leave you […]
I first wrote about Mangia Mangia in 2009, and have had many good meals there since, so I thought it was time for an update. Nothing has changed. There you have it. Really, we had a couple of bad service experiences and so had not been there in a while. […]
When we lived in New York, I would try to avoid going out on St. Patrick’s Day. Too many cops drinking green beer, while on duty, guns and all. But, while not my favorite holiday by a long shot, in Key West, it is not so far out of the […]

In March of 1913, according to the New York Times (which cost one cent, or, if you were outside of New York, two cents), there were a million phone lines in New York. Now? Who knows? Between cell phones, land lines, businesses, I would go out on a limb and […]
There are those people in our lives that we see far too infrequently. Some of those people showed up at my house yesterday afternoon. This visit was planned, unlike the time we learned of these friends’ house purchase in Maryland (they had bought from a co-worker of my sister-in-law’s), so […]
When friends asked if we wanted to join them for brunch at Little Palm Island, two thoughts popped into my head. The first was, of course, “Hell, yes. Why wouldn’t I want to go there for brunch?” The second thought was “Woohoo! Someone else has been in charge of making […]
It was the start of a very good eating weekend. Due to hectic schedules, moves and other craziness, we hadn’t seen some friends in a while. Our dinner for four on Saturday turned into dinner for seven, as they had house guests. My operating theory is usually the more, the […]
