Each year when Derby season ends and bets are cashed (or, losing bets are lamented over copious amounts of Bourbon), we awake that Sunday morning for the annual post-Derby day way-too-fancy-why-are-we-spending-this-much-money-on-brunch brunch, and I mourn the coming 300-some days until racing season ...
Apple-y Ever After….
Usually, at 8pm or so on Friday nights, you can find Bryan and I snuggled up to the bar at Red Hog, the still sort-of-new butcher shop-slash-restaurant in Louisville’s Crescent Hill neighborhood. We’ve fallen in love with the little spot, mesmerized at watching Bob, the owner, singlehandedly ...

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. Just before Christmas, B and I decided to travel North to Chicago before heading to Cleveland to visit family. Having not bought gifts for each other at all, it was a time to peruse Oak Street and Michigan ...
Cheers to 2019!
A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to join some family friends for a Saturday dinner. Thinking there'd be a small meal and a lot of Bourbon, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in a kitchen buzzing with activity. Husband was bright-eyed and excited over some thick pork chops he'd ...
Penuche Frosting
It was as we were driving to Chicago for the Northwestern/Wisconsin game that an episode of The Splendid Table came on where host Francis Lam was discussing taking care… Author and activist Cecile Richards was a guest, and the two began a discussion about her love of pie baking and pie ...
On the Eve
Dear readers,
I wish you nothing more on this chilly December evening than the comforts of home... I hope you feel the warmth of a fire, have the giggles that erupt after too many drinks tonight with family and friends, and wake up tomorrow with full hearts, full minds, and full ...
