Good Morning Darlings!
I was musing today about what nourishes me.
What makes you really happy?

Good Morning Darlings!
Etiquette has always been a hobby of mine. One day, Eric asked me, “what would you do if there were no boundaries?” I answered, “teach etiquette.” Only then did it dawn on me that I could do just that. My “aha moment.”
Come see what I have planned for you

Good Morning Darlings!
Oh, how I love a good dinner party. I love every aspect of it. The planning, the menu, the cooking, and especially the guest list.
How did this one come together?

Good Morning Darlings!
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!
There is still so much summer left to plan your vacation

Good Morning Darlings!
Last night was a doozy. Fondue and wine. Lots of luscious wine. 10 of us got together for an evening of gooey excess.
But I am paying for it today.
This turned into...
This
Please excuse me today while I clean up and recover. Friday night we do it all again!

Good Morning Darlings!
So excited! Just received a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum on my doorstep, just in time for this weekend’s festivities!
My friend Alex sent me all kinds of recipes, too. Looks like the bottle will be empty by Monday.
Whatever shall we do with Sailor Jerry?
