Rcently I discovered gralehaus, the latest brain child of the owners of The Louisville Beer Store and the Holy Grale- an old church, complete with choir loft and steeple that was converted into a bar and restaurant that serves Dill Pickle Soup (omg, yum!).
Gralehaus, this new, wonderful hole in the ...
The Bling Ring
If any of you had asked, up until a couple of years ago, what my most prized possession was or what item I couldn't live without, I would have responded my Grandmother's wedding rings. After she died, there wasn't a day that I didn't wear them. Then, in the summer of 2011, while at a conference in ...
Dinner at Milkwood
A week or so ago, I received a message from a life-long friend, wanting to pick my brain about real estate. He'd make it worth my time by taking me to dinner, he said, and we decided on Milkwood. If you've ever watched Food Network, you've heard of Chef Edward Lee. Between Iron Chef, Top Chef, ...
Chicken n Dumplins
This weekend, I volunteered to drop off a meal for a girlfriend who just had a new baby boy. While every meal I've ever delivered has been one that means something to me- a family recipe of Italian Creme Cake, Daddy's favorite chicken with artichokes- I've never been so compelled to deliver my ...
Let’s Call it an Office
When I mentioned several months ago that we were downsizing, I wasn't kidding. Our former home had a whopping 7,000 square feet above ground, as well as 2,500 in the basement and another 2,500 in the carriage house. While we never went into the basement (it was creepy), and hadn't yet done anything ...
Tea at the Langham
One of the reasons I love, so much, our annual April trip to Chicago is that we vacation separately. This particular weekend each Spring is an annual gathering for Bryan and a few of his best friends- I usually just tag along for the ride. The guy stays in a hotel with his buddies, I either stay ...
May Goals
Friends, I am so happy to announce that as of today, my darling kitchen looks like this:
** Kitchen, ready for new cabinets... And paint **
The upper cabinets have been removed, the new appliances are here (you can just see the new dishwasher sitting in the dining room), and new lights are ...
The Best Burger in Chicago
Every time we travel to the Windy City, we make sure that the first stop is Giordano's, for deep dish the way it should be and- for me, at least- a big glass of Pinot Noir. It's almost inevitable that we don't stop at Portillo's for an Italian beef sandwich at some point, and hit Yolk for crepes and ...
Easter Tablescape
Now, I know what all of you are thinking- we are crazy to have company overnight (for 4 nights!) just a couple of weeks after we moved in. Under normal circumstances, you may be correct, but this is Easter weekend, and this is only the second time Bryan's parents have had the opportunity to ...
