Hiding from the inevitable. I’ve discovered something. Unfortunately it doesn’t predict the weather, nor does it cure anything. It’s not a new app nor is it something that makes your life seemingly easier. It’s not beautiful. It’s not tasty. It’s just a little annoying. I don’t have writer’s block. I have more ideas than time…

Brunch at Foundry on Elm (Davis Sq.)
I had the opportunity to be a guest at Foundry on Elm with the Boston Brunchers and then went back to test it out with the whole family. Both times we enjoyed a delicious, relaxing meal, in one of my favorite squares. The food at Foundry on Elm is very good and the French brunch…
Recipes for a Cocktail Party Benefit: MidWinter Revels
The Fayerweather Street School had their first annual MidWinter Revels last night and as an alum parent, social media consultant for the school, and of course a big fan of the teachers being honoured, I was motivated to play my part. Where do I fit in for all of it? Cocktails and pickles of course!…
Something Different in Davis: M3
Davis Square is a great place to eat and drink and it just keeps getting better. There are all the great standbys like Diesel Café, Redbones BBQ, J.P. Licks, Diva Indian Bistro, Anna’s Taqueria and the like. There are also quite a few newcomers and I have had the chance to try a few. Each…
Bloody Mary at Tryst
I love a good Bloody Mary for brunch and this one was really really good. It had a nice kick to it and the drink was served with pickled onion and a pickled carrot which was a perfect match. It is the best Bloody Mary I have had in a long time!

World AIDS Day: Cooking for Those in Need
Monday, is World AIDS Day. This day represents the 20 year struggle to fight AIDS and to force AIDS to be recognized as the devastating disease that it is. I remember first hearing about “le SIDA” when I was in 6th grade in France. I overheard some of the teenagers saying that it was in…
What’s For Dinner: Supper Club
Smells of warm cookies waft down the hall. Supper is warming in the oven. Vegetables are steaming on the stovetop. The home-made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are perched on their cooling rack. The sweet sound of a cork popping from the bottle of red wine and the clink of wine glasses are heard. Add a…
Thanksgiving: The Peripheral Meals
I think the biggest problem with Thanksgiving is when you forget about the peripheral meals. There are the friends who drop by the day before because they are in town. There is tea after the New Yorkers come in after their longer than expected drive. There is lunch on Wednesday for the whoever came in…
