Over the past several years, I have hosted Thanksgiving dinner twelve times. The two that I missed were when our house was under construction after some water damage, and when we were preparing to move. Other than that, it has been all turkey (and stuffing, and potatoes, and…) all the time. I […]

Gelato, pastries, a full grocery store with fresh fish and meats, as well as cheeses, and several different restaurants make up Eataly, where I swore I died and went to food heaven. Seriously, I could have wondered the crowded areas of Eataly for hours on end. But that was not […]
The folks at Massage Envy Spa South Florida recently sent over a gift card so I could try out the massage services. It’s a rough life, but someone has to take one for the team. They also sent a gift card for one lucky reader. Enter to win below.
Once I had secured the reservation at Le Bernardin, I went to work to insure that we would eat well for the rest of the week, too. One of my most anticipated meals was the $55, five course lunch at Bouley. The short version is this: food generally awesome, service generally […]

When my friend Donna suggested Square One for dinner the other night, I was a little hesitant. Naturally I said yes, because any time someone else comes up with a plan (so I don’t have to), it is a good thing. Plus, she has good taste.
The food truck scene in Key West has recently gained some steam, despite city efforts to make things more difficult. The city loves coming up with new regulations, and often can’t decide who should have to abide by these new rules. Shockingly, they haven’t driven everyone out of business. Hey, even […]
My dogs don’t smell. Well, they do on occasion, and when that happens they get bathed. (It is, of course, in their best interest to smell good all the time as both Babka and Latke hate the bath.) So, when I first heard of the Pet House Candle from One […]
