The past several months have brought us both human and canine house guests. Sometimes the dogs come with their human servants, and sometimes by themselves.

A couple of weeks ago, we stopped at Burdines Waterfront ChikiTiki Bar for lunch, en route to Key West. It is a little challenging to find, and you need to really pay attention to where you are turning, or you will miss it. Once you’ve made it off the Overseas […]
Celebrity Reflection is a gorgeous ship, and our week aboard was fantastic. You may have already read about dining in Luminae, and I will focus on the specialty restaurants in the next post, so today’s focus is all about the ship: the bars, lounges, lawn club and other public places.
I could not wait for our Celebrity Reflection Thanksgiving week cruise. And just like that, it is over. Here’s how it went: Friends gathered at our house and we made our way to the port of Miami. After the disaster that was embarkation in Vancouver, I was cautiously optimistic that […]

I never really “got” stone crabs. They look nice, with their orange claws and ink-black tips, but eating them never appealed to me. The shells are hard, and unless cracked properly, are difficult to eat. Plus, there are those bits of shell that get in the way of everything. They […]
Last week I had the opportunity to tour the Royal Princess when she was docked in Fort Lauderdale, and I was impressed. Although it is possible that the Best. Thing. Ever. about Princess is the ability to have Fettuccine Alfredo, in a Parmesan crisp bowl, at every meal, there are […]
A couple of months ago, my mother-in-law sent me the spiralizer attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, with the promise that it would change my life. It has taken me a while to try it out, but now that I have, I promise you this: there is no going back., because curly […]
