Summer time and Moscow Mules are made for each other! When Jessica from Moscow Muled (Moscow Mule Mugs) contacted me I thought the timing was perfect. I had been working on a Scandinavian version of the Moscow Mule, spring time was coming and she offered to send me a couple of mugs to try out. […]
It’s Saturday morning the sun is shining, may garden needs weeding, my lawn needs mowing and my house needs cleaning. Fuck it, I made a resolution to do more blogging and I’m sticking to it. Especially since I have so many posts to do! I’ve traveled to LA for the IACP conference, went to San […]
What do you think? Isn’t it amazing! A bit of a shocker, the new look, but I love it. For months now I’ve been working with Melissa, web designer (Fine Lime Designs), food blogger (Eyes Bigger Than My Stomach) and food photographer extraordinaire to give the blog a whole new look. Don’t get me wrong, […]
Do you have any big plans for Independence Day? We are making our annual trek to Westport, Wahington for the ‘old time’ 4th of July and visiting with family, it’s kind of mini reunion time for us. Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but […]
Last Monday for Secret Recipe Club I posted an über lemony lemon bar topped with this amazing candied lemon that was crusted in yellow crystallized sugar. If you are a lemon bar lover, it would have been the lemon bar of your dreams. I am also an lazy efficient cook. My mantra is “do not dirty any more […]

Sensual and comforting, it’s the queen of all warm boozy drinks. I’ve spent year’s preparing this delectable delight, tweaking the recipe a little here and […]
Happy Birthday McGyver, how old are you? McGyver holds up his hand and starts with the thumb, 1966, then the index finger, 1976, the middle finger, 1986, the ring finger, 1996 and finally the pinky, 2006. Let’s see now it’s 2011, so 2006 to 2011 is 5 years, “I’m 55”. Isn’t it great that after […]
It came to me, out of nowhere, a drink for St. Patrick’s Day. I tried to ignore it; it would be empty calories that I don’t need. Then I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had Irish Coffee Mugs…cheap. I bought two. Just in case. But I won’t use them. I searched the […]
I love Sunday mornings, lazy, sleep in and stay in your pajamas Sunday mornings. Which is probably why I love Sunday brunch, I never get up early enough to have Sunday breakfast! Normally I don’t have cocktails on a Sunday morning, not that I think there is anything wrong with it, but I prefer my […]
