Dear readers, each year, I try to bring you some pumpkin-riffed food or beverage near Halloween or right after. This year, though, I'm revisiting a winter cocktail mixed for me a few years ago in what was one of my favorite spots in the city- the stone-walled cellar bar at the now closed Decca ...
Coronado Update: Den Reveal
I've spoken before about the home I grew up in. My grandparents' house was small but well-appointed, with the "formal" living room acting as the space that we used when company came over, and where we often sat for holidays or quiet (read: tv-less) weekends and canasta nights. The den was where ...
Bringing it Home: How to Not Lose Sight of your Favorite Place(s)
It's no secret that the man and I are in love with Palm Springs. Since we began vacationing there several years ago, our annual September jaunt is how we keep track of the years... Not our anniversary, not NYE, but the view of the mountains and dinner at Sandfish. We always come home to the ...

American Housewife by Helen Ellis- One I've read before, I do think American Housewife is the better of Ellis' short story collections. The stories are as cynical and creepy as they are funny. A decent read, and one to pass the time. Creative and funny.
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus- ...
An Argument for the Dinner Party
Kentucky had what was considered to be a relatively mild summer. Only one or two weeks did the temperatures creep above the mid-80's, and humidity generally went by the wayside. Happy to avoid the usually swamp-like conditions we have July through September, Bryan and I spent a lot of our weekend ...
40 Years: A Reflection
This summer, I turned 40. I've never been one to celebrate birthdays in a big way. I have so many friends who scream about their birthday month, or plan large celebrations for even the non-landmark birthdays (like 38 or 52), but for some reason, that was never me. Rather, in some of the bigger ...
