When friends talk about a place with great burgers, I pay attention. In this case, friends had been talking about Gilbert’s for months. We finally tried it this week. Gilbert’s is an order-at-the-counter kind of place, with surprisingly good service. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the glass […]

I was born and raised in Miami, and have spent a healthy portion of my adult life in South Florida. Yet somehow I have never been to Lion Country Safari. Until now. Invited by Truly Nolen, I was part of a group of bloggers that got to experience the park […]
My friend Steve loves duck. Duck confit, duck hash, duck legs… you name it. So when I had the opportunity to procure some kosher, pastured, super delicious duck legs, I seized the moment. I made them last night, for Valentine’s Day. (By “for Valentine’s Day” I actually mean “there was […]
Once upon a time, I made a batch of cinnamon rolls. They were not good. I am pretty sure they sucked because I was afraid of making a yeast dough, and I am pretty sure the yeast sensed my fear. As it turns out, yeast dough is not all that […]

Another year, another Key West Food and Wine Festival in the books. Last week, despite threats of rain, the festival was a huge success. This year, there were plenty of new events, including whiskey tastings and seminars, a cheese seminar and a burlesque show. It made for an exhausting, but […]
Between the sunset celebration at Mallory Square, and an acceptable dinner time lies a gap of about 2 hours in the winter (in the summer, it is feasible to go see the sunset, then head straight to dinner). But these days sunset is around 6PM, and our preferred dinner time is somewhere […]
Clearly I am no online dating expert. FKGuy and I met as counselors at summer camp before our senior year of college. That last year consisted of long distance phone calls (with actual, corded telephones that were attached to a wall), and a lot of traveling. There was no internet. […]
