Over our Chicago holiday, Bryan and I popped into Claridge House hotel. Beautiful, local for us, and a fresh new face in the neighborhood, CH is also home to a cozy lobby restaurant, Juniper Spirits and Oyster Bar.
Just two blocks from our usually Chicago stay, our walk to dinner was a ...
Sprung a Leek
If I'm being honest here, I've not always been a fan of vegetables. I grew up on a farm, and had way too many forced feedings of turnips and cabbage cooked down within an inch of their life. I loved the sweet corn though, and green beans when they were cooked just enough to still be snappy. I was ...
Pre-Christmas in Chicago
This holiday season was a whirlwind of travel, of family, and of several days off to relax.

Winter is Here

To keep me warmer, but to avoid the inevitable giant, poofy Northface parka I have to break ...
Bellaire: The End, Part 2
Friday afternoon, I signed the little house on Bellaire over to it's new owners.
I'm lucky that the Buyers were looking for their first Airbnb investment; my little reimagined shotgun will remain exactly the same... They've purchased everything inside as well as the house, honored all of our ...
