When I was asked if I would like to try a new product from Cookie Zen, in which I would pair their cookies with my wine, I said….

Can you guess what I said?

Tour The Walking Dead

Good Morning Darlings!

You know, I love talking about my friends, their restaurants and hotels, plus all the marvelous things they have planned for us.

I have a super cool surprise for you!

The Haggis Chronicles

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

When our sweet friend, Stephanie, asked Eric and I to join her Cookbookery Club back in December, we were thrilled. The premise – choose a cookbook and allow everyone to prepare a dish, then get together and chow down.

That sounds perfect for us! Of course we would love to join!

This month was very exciting!

Chinese New Year

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

Conversation last night at our house:

Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”

Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”

Me: “Um…”

I really should get out more.

Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.

Thanks, Sofia!

Super Bowl Fantasy

Good Morning Darlings!

This is my fantasy centerpiece for Super Bowl. With all the calories removed, of course.

I don't think I have enough guests to build this.....

What are you serving at your Super Bowl soiree?
