Oh, Black Friday, you're here again... Somewhere, deep down inside of me, nestled in with the exorbitant amount of butternut squash pie I ate yesterday (and the Bourbon I washed it down with), there's the innate need to shop, to hand off gifts in pretty packaging with poofy bows, to stuff stockings ...
The Thanksgiving Table
A visit to Decade (you'll hear more about them, soon) for dinner a few weeks ago lit the Thanksgiving fire under my rear this season. I ordered a dish so simple and wonderful that all I could think of was the simplicity of a roast turkey and the warm goodness of homemade bread and gravy.

A Harvest Time Cocktail Perfect for Cooler Weather
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 ...
Coronado Update: Exterior Reveal, Part 1

On the Shelf: Bodycare
May I just begin by saying.... I had no idea my grout was that filthy!
Now- On to the subject: Body care. Skin care. Habitual deeds to take care of oneself in an overall manor. I don't know why, but I've always been a little bit of a skincare nut. Not just my face, though we know that's crazy ...
2nd and 3rd Quarter Reads
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 ...
