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…

Kugel & Cards: Vacation
On vacation, I try to be on vacation. I always give my husband the stink eye when he’s checking email on his phone. If he tells me he has a quick conference call I can feel my hear drop like an old elevator in my chest but I smile and shrug. He’s gotten much better…

Shop This Way: Peapod Pick Up (sponsored)
I used to dread the “quick” errands my mom would take me on. “We just have to do one quick errand,” my mom would say. After the first store I would think, “Well that wasn’t too bad,” but I always thought too soon as I sat in the back of the car staring through the…
EA Social Suite
The EA Social Suite at Blogger Bash brought in the big wigs. Well not exactly wigs although Cover Girl was there with their #instaGLAM collection. So no wigs but there was a smokin’ hot… bear. I have to admit I am terrified of fires and have always had a bit of a character crush on…
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…
Bowl Kings: Step Inside
I love summer days by the ocean. Poolside afternoons and early evenings swimming until our lips are blue are a huge part of summer fun. Picking berries at the CSA and ignoring the sweltering heat because each fresh blueberry pops in our mouths with the taste of perfection defines summer. Day after beautiful day outdoors…
Hot Diggity Dog: It’s National Hot Dog Day
Today, Wednesday, July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day. I don’t know about your fridge, but our fridge has a pack of hot dogs in it year-round with a few extras for those summer cookouts. On the one hand, we love our hot dogs, on the other hand, I never understood why when out at…
Marmite vs. Vegemite
Dad and I did a breakfast taste test. Vegemite was new for us. It was milder, and a bit less sticky. It has malt extract vs. Marmite’s vegetable extract. We both prefer Marmite which has a bit more bitterness, punch, dimension and almost vinegary taste. We thought Vegemite might be a good intro to the…
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…

Crudités Redefined
There is a wonderful French song, by Jacques Brel called Les Bonbons (Candy). “Je vous ai apporté des bonbons Parce que les fleurs c’est périssable Puis les bonbons c’est tellement bon Bien que les fleurs soient plus présentables” It says, “I brought you candy, because flowers are perishable. Anyway, candy is so good even though…
