Good Morning Darlings!

Did you know there is a National Vodka Day? I didn’t either, until recently!

Just Chicken Salad

Good Morning Darlings!

Let me start by saying I consider myself to be a chicken salad connoisseur. I love pretty much any chicken salad. My dill chicken salad is thought to be a winner among my friends.

Do you love chicken salad, too? Come on in.

Our swell friends Nicky & Katruska and Ben & Maura joined us for dinner last night. The plan was to discuss a Holiday Survival Class we want to put together for you.

So, how did that work out?

Halloween Teaser!

Good Morning Darlings!

We are now officially one day away from the beginning of the Fall Season. Happy Day!

I am all excited for Halloween, even though it is more than a month away. This is one holiday you have to plan for! So much to do – costumes, decorations, candy selections.

How are you getting ready for the big Candy Holiday?

Please, May I Have Another?

Good Morning Darlings!

Autumn is only 5 days away. From my office window, I can see the yellow leaves descending in batches off the trees. It’s like they can’t wait for Fall, either.

This weather means soup. And soup parties. Specifically, Tracy’s soup party.

Lets make soup!

Emmy Emmy Emmy!

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

You all know how much I love an awards show. The Oscars are like Christmas to me, so the Emmys must be Thanksgiving! Yippee! And you know I have to have some fabu cocktails to quaff while hollering at the television – don’t fib, you know you do it, too. This year besties John & Holly will be on the red couch with me, critiquing the gowns and hairstyles, so it has got to be good.

My friend, Kate, from NYC, sent me the most delicious ideas. Kate, you think of everything!

What are Kate and I mixing up for Emmy Night?
