Shake Your Way Back to School: Chai Latté Milkshake (Recipe)
Earlier this summer I attended Blogger Bash in NYC and Johnny Rockets challenged attendees to “Shake it Up” and come up with a Milkshake recipe of our own to help kick of National Shake Month. Fall is in the air, and the flavours of chai just seemed to make sense to me. As I was…
Summer Wines: Martin Códax Albariño
I was recently invited to Row 34, a restaurant on my “must try” list, to learn more about the 2012 Martin Códax Albariño. At first sip, I was on board and after a meal of pairings I decided that I would definitely add this as one of my summer wine staples. It has a really…
Summer Wines
When it comes to choosing wine I end up doing the same thing I do with books. To choose a book I often judge it by it’s cover, I rely on a good librarian to help find something just right, or I recall a little blurb or review I read. For wines I rarely remember…
Weekend Guide: July 18th 2014
You know how at your parent’s place or the beach house you have that old favorite towel. When you open the linen closet at home, you hope to see that one you really like because it’s big, or it’s soft or the fabric is not too thick. Head over to Rings Fountain at the Rose…
Recipes Gather Here
I am not one to get hung up on my age or aging. But there is something that is really beginning to bug me. It is not the grey hairs unveiling themselves upon my head. It’s not the odd aches I get on a rainy day. It is not the fact that I have to…
Dining Out New England

Kirkland Tap & Trotter: Kids May bring their Well Behaved Parents
My daughter and I recently caught up with Chef Tony Maws to taste some of his new menu items on the grown up and the kids menu at Kirkland Tap and Trotter. We sat ringside for our chat with Chef . As we talked, Chef Maws would step away to taste food being prepped in…
Kirkland Tap and Trotter: Brunch
Kirkland Tap and Trotter, which just over the Cambridge border, outside of Harvard Square, is the guy (could be girl but since Chef Tony Maws is a guy this analogy works better that way) on campus that everyone wants to know. It’s not the Big Man on Campus but the really nice, approachable, easy going…
Sundays are for Navel Grazing: Brunch at Puritan & Co
You walk into Sunday brunch at Puritan & Co. and the room is buzzing with energy. Once you settle in though, time seems to slow. You can get lost in conversation, linger over a few last crumbs on your plate left from a delicious pastry, or sip a second cocktail because it is Sunday and…
Lunch Meeting at West Bridge (Cambridge)
I love having lunch at West Bridge. The first time I went, the restaurant was new and lunch was very quiet. It was nice to see that this time the restaurant was probably 1/2 full. West Bridge has a beautiful rustic/industrial vibe (if that makes any sense – lots of nice wood and metal). It…
Pencil It In: This Week
Still trying to get my calendar to be a bit more streamlined. Here is a more complete albeit late update to this week’s calendar of events. It’s not comprehensive but it’s a bunch of events that sound fun and fabulous. I will include more family friendly activities and events as we go. I thought about…
