Let me be perfectly clear: while I understand what I should and shouldn’t eat, it doesn’t always go as planned. However, when I have time to prepare a meal, it is usually pretty darn healthy. This chili is no exception. I have made it several times, had great results and been […]

The weekend wedding got me thinking, about how much I love a good wedding and how when we got married it never occurred to any of our friends to have a destination wedding. Detroit in January certainly does not count. Although we traveled for many a ceremony, they were all […]
Over the weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a wedding ceremony in our backyard. The reception was held down the street at The Flaming Buoy. It was a beautiful weekend. Well, not exactly. It was pouring all day Friday, and the forecast for Saturday – when over 40 people […]
While you often see pictures of complicated, precious desserts that have taken me all day to make, or beautiful, individually portioned appetizers, most of the time I make uncomplicated meals.

In June, 2002, FKGuy and I traveled to France with friends. We were really excited about the trip, although less so about traveling on the heels of September 11. […]
I had this blog post started before the news tragedies of the day began to unfold. Reading about senseless murders in Oregon and in Israel add a pretty hefty exclamation point to today’s random thought. Gratitude. We need to express it more.
It’s OK. We all know. Flying sucks. But if you want to get out and actually see the world, it is a necessary evil. In my job, I am often the bearer of bad news like “the airline changed your flight. Again.” Recently, a client was asking me how to survive a […]
