My grandmother is guilty of passing on false information. That's not to say she was a liar, but that she protected her recipes within an inch of her life. The recipe for the Italian Creme Cake she so loyally baked every birthday and Christmas was typed out on a three by five index card, ...
Old Fashioned Bourbon Milk Punch
One more Christmas post, and I swear I'll move on to 2018:
I'm not a lover of eggnog, and unless its the super thick cavity-and-cellulite-causing kind in the carton, boiled custard isn't my jam (the exception: that made by my chidhoold next door neighbor, an older woman we called Aunt Lois. ...
The Christmas Table
My obsession with Pottery Barn's buffalo check spilled over into our dining room this season, where we've already hosted a couple of holiday meals. These fun, seemingly casual plaid plates looked a little regal and sparkly when combined with a few other simple elements, like clean linens, ...
Deck the Halls!
I do love the holidays. While my Thanksgiving is my favorite (Derby not included), it's the Christmas decorations that get my heart swooping. This year, I found myself swooning over the black and white buffalo check accessories from Pottery Barn, and decided to keep the rest of my decorations ...
On the Gallery Wall
I'm fortunate enough to have a set of neighbors with fabulous taste, a gorgeous home and own Scout- one of the best design and accessories stores in the city. One thing I almost always see, whether in their home or in their store, or in the houses of their countless clients is a handsomely ...

The Thanksgiving Table
Friends, today we are on the road (I'm writing on my laptop while tethered to the internet coming from my phone, which is being charged by my car... Ah, technology!) headed North to Cleveland for the Thanksgiving holiday. Despite not being in our own home for the long weekend, I still ...
Kitchen Woes
I'm ashamed to say that last week during the great "Oh-my-God-the-cleaning-lady-is-coming-so-I-must-clean!" madness that occours each month, I tossed 4 grocery bags of food and garbage out of our kitchen. Weeks-old take out, spoiled salmon that was never made into something wonderful, a ...
Fall Porch
Overnight freezing temps have finally decended on Louisville, and while there hasn't been one of those wicked, planter-killing frosts yet, I know it's coming. I'm trying to enjoy the last few days of the beautiful Fall porch we had this year.
Pumpkins- both smooth and beautiful, and ...
