It's really rare that Bryan makes a plea for anything house related. He's the dream guy, usually responding "Whatever you want" when asked whether or not he likes new pillows, a sofa, lamps... He was very active in helping to find a new mattress, and he does, now, help me iron the new sheets. But ...
The Pumpkin Galette
There's something happy about an easy meal. Whether you're one to soak beans and whip it into simple bean soup with a pan of sweet cornbread or you're just a fan of breakfast for dinner, you have to admit that the ease of pulling together a meal with minimal mess and minimal messy dishes is ...
Repeal Louisville
Last night I had the opportunity to attend a soft opening of Repeal Louisville, a new steakhouse parked in historic Whiskey Row.
Housed in the old J.T.S. Brown and Sons bottling building, the developers of the incredibly chic new space found a way to marry interior features like granite ...
Onion and Gruyere Tarts
In planning for friends to gather at our place this weekend, I racked my brain to think what sort of pre-dinner snack would look good on our fall table and taste like a well-thought out precursor to our dinner of Chicken and 40 Cloves of Garlic.
The answer? Little onion and gruyere tarts from ...
Palm Springs
After a few sunny days in Sierra Madre, California with some friends of ours, Bryan and I headed East to sunny and fabulous Palm Springs. Last year's trip to this little oasis was so good- we met some sweet local business owners, hiked around Mount San Jacinto, and spent so much time next to the ...
A Summer Caprese, Southern-Style
Beginning August 1, Mr. Man and I made the decision to start eating at home more... a lot more. Unabashedly, being a childless couple that makes a decent living, we generally eat out almost every day. Almost every meal. Not only was the restaurant/bar bill daunting, but daily meals filled with ...
Dinner at Walton Street
A couple of years ago, while in Chicago in the Spring, we managed to get ourselves squeezed into Gemini in Lincoln Park for dinner at their grand reopening, and immediately fell in love. The service and atmosphere were amazing, but consistently outdone by the amazing food. When we got wind that ...
Lunch at Willow Room
Just a block above North Avenue in Chicago's Lincoln Park lies a neat and unassuming yellow brick building. Crisp, black trim circles the first floor facade, and minimal window dressing reads, "Willow Rm" in a slight gold script. This is Willow Room, a happy eatery I've been stalking on Instagram ...
On the 4th
We know by now that I'm very much averse to red, white, and blue everything on the 4th. 30-something years of star-spangled birthdays have made me lean towards a more toned-down color combo for my celebrations each year. Whether there's a gorgeous blue and white tablescape or an all-red flower ...
