I might be stretching with the title today, because we are talking about The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans and the divine cuisine there could hardly be called grub, but I knew it would get your attention!
My life is pretty breezy most of the time. I try not to let too many things bother me and when they do, I try to figure out how to best handle it.
When I heard that my precious friend Melanie had lost someone very close to her, it made my heart ache. How do you fix that?
Mellie’s friend Charlane was a marvelous blogger. And although I had never met her, I was moved by her posts. They were all so whimsical and charming. I bet you would love her, too. Take a look at one of her last posts here.
As we approach warmer temperatures, my thoughts turn to canning and preserving vegetables. If you are like me, some extra space would be extremely helpful.
It’s here! Prince William and Kate’s big day. If you are throwing a royal bash, you are going to want to mix up a pan of Prince William’s favorite treat.
Thanks to the nice folks over at Daily Candy for the recipe.
Fit for a Prince!
