It seems that summer is here. I know that you are thinking it is always summer in Florida, but alas, that is simply not true. We have winter, it is just milder than your winter say, in Ottawa. It gets cold enough to have to wear a jacket over my […]
My two business partners in 3 Loud Women always want to talk about guilty pleasures, then make fun of mine because they are not guilty enough. Well, here you go. You be the judge. I just don’t feel bad about a lot of things, but there are some that I […]
It was not so long ago that I was one of those people that thought I could never have a pet: too much work; I’m not home enough; we travel too much; picking up the poop, etc. Then one day, after a couple months of going back and forth, we […]
For the record, I am still in a matza coma while writing this. The last two nights brought the traditional Passover Seder, celebrating the Jews’ exodus from Egypt. There are two, I believe, because if you screw something up the first night, you get a do-over the second. Also, you […]
Ahhhhh, the glorious days of lounging in Key West, being totally relaxed with nothing to do. Alas, that was not this past weekend. We had plenty to keep us busy. The weekend kicked off with a feast of sushi at Origami. Yum, yum, yum. In addition, Babka got to play […]

I first wrote about Mangia Mangia in 2009, and have had many good meals there since, so I thought it was time for an update. Nothing has changed. There you have it. Really, we had a couple of bad service experiences and so had not been there in a while. […]
When we lived in New York, I would try to avoid going out on St. Patrick’s Day. Too many cops drinking green beer, while on duty, guns and all. But, while not my favorite holiday by a long shot, in Key West, it is not so far out of the […]
Although I tend to frequent independently owned restaurants, as Key West has plenty of them, once in a while a chain serves a purpose. You know what you are going to get. This weekend, before the big hundredth birthday bash, we went to McCormick and Schmick’s for dinner with my in-laws.
In March of 1913, according to the New York Times (which cost one cent, or, if you were outside of New York, two cents), there were a million phone lines in New York. Now? Who knows? Between cell phones, land lines, businesses, I would go out on a limb and […]
