I'm a creature of habit, of tradition. There's post-Derby Sunday brunch, always heading to Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, Italian Creme Cake at the holidays. It's as if- over the years- I've created so many "always" in my life that there was no room for anything new or different. If I ...
A Derby Weekend Wrap-up
Oh, friends.... After almost a week, I've stopped being tired, gotten back to the gym (gotta burn off the Bourbon), and had time to digest what was possibly one of the best Derby weekends ever.
Wednesday began as normal, with work taking up the morning through lunch. Family arrived in town that ...
The Brunch Bunch Does Derby
I'm not sure how it started. A couple of us thought we may need a quick outside-the-office meeting every few weeks or so to discuss our goals, air any grievances, and encourage one another through life. After so many months, we brought on a couple more members, changed our group chat name to a ...
Sorry for the Silence…
According to pro handicapper, Bill Doolittle, "The less you bet, the more you lose when you don't win."
Friends, may the sun shine bright on our Old Kentucky Home this weekend. May your glasses be full, may your pimento cheese be perfect, and may all your winning tickets bet the long shot. ...
Talk Derby to Me!
For at least 5 years, I've wanted to host a Derby party. I'm not the kind of gal that would want to go all red roses, horseheads, and turf on the table (though a turf table sounds like an awesome idea...), but I've always had visions in my head of girlfriends in wild hats, honey-drizzled fried ...
Smells Good
Chances are, if I'm home, there's music playing (I'm living by the Sonos Play wireless speaker, which camps out in a corner of our dining room), the lamps are on and bright, and there's a candle burning.
There's something comforting about a flame... I don't mean that I like to stand by and watch ...
Terzo Piano
We've become an old, married couple.
There. I've said it.
Keep in mind that the Mister and I aren't married. Nor are we old. Well.... not that old, at least. We're closer to social security than sorority parties, sure, but we can still hang. If we aren't listening to Yo-Yo Ma on Sunday ...
An Easter Blueberry Tart
When I first joined Pinterest several years ago, one of the first recipes I found and made was a blueberry tart from Martha Stewart. Incredibly simple, with a shortbread crust and gelled berry filling, I always up the recipe by 50% to fill my 11" tart tin.
Whether served plain, or with ...
The Easter Table
There's no flower I love to see in bloom more than ranunculus. The delicate petals seem to go on forever into it's center, and the way their stems go all wild after a day or two in a glass of water is just amazing to me. These delicate little flowers have so much personality. When combined with ...
