A long, hot day in Arches was immediately followed by a slightly-less-long and not-nearly-as-sweltering day in Canyonlands National Park. Forty minutes of driving a virtually empty road, with several hairpin curves along the way, led us to the gate of Canyonlands. Our route took us to Islands in the Sky, the […]

I will take any excuse to see my friends. I’ll also take any excuse to turn attending a wedding or bar mitzvah into a vacation. That is how we ended up in Moab, Utah, at Arches National Park (and Canyonlands, but that is another post.) Our usual Park City visits […]
I groaned audibly when I heard there was a new wine bar in town. Do we need another one? Then we stopped in for a glass of wine at the new Vivez Joyeux, and I could see why they decided to open. Vivez Joyeux means Live Joyfully in French, and […]
It is possible that I am the only one that remembers the days when FKGuy would cook. (I don’t recall him ever cooking for anyone else.) When he was in law school and had free time on his hands he did cook a bit. Now, not so much. Yesterday, my husband […]

As a single person, only your schedule matters. So, when making plans, it is easy enough to look at your calendar and say “Yes! I’m free!” or “Nope. Let’s make it another time.” However, when you are part of a couple, there are now two schedules to take into account […]
Miami Spice is a two-month long dining extravaganza, featuring three-course lunch and dinner menus at hundreds of restaurants throughout Miami-Dade County. The kickoff for the event, Iron Fork, was at the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami last week. It featured loads of food, drinks, a cooking competition, and even […]
Recently, we were invited to check out Juniper on the Water in Hallandale Beach. Not one to pass up a free meal, I gladly accepted. It is a bit challenging to find the restaurant, as the location inside The Hemispheres condo complex is odd. But that is where the weirdness […]
