By now you must know that not only do I love food, I love to cook, bake, talk about food and most of all, eat. It is not always about the fancy things, either. Sometimes (and by “sometimes” I mean “every day”), I enjoy ice cream, which I rarely make […]

This past week was Pride week, celebrated in cities across the country. In Key West it means parties, parties, more parties and a parade to cap it all off. The One Human Family philosophy comes together with floats, decorated cars and several people running for office showing their support. Babka […]
There has to be a counterpart to the mama hen toting her baby chicks around, right? I mean, she had to have help making those cute little things… Alas, there are many roosters in Key West. I often see one or two hanging out in the empty lot next door, […]
