It’s time for our book club to meet again. This time we are reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland. I liked it for the most part. I took a little while to really get into it, but then I wanted to do nothing else but read it. The writing, like her other books with beautiful, but … More Book Club
With the weather starting to change, and a bit of a nip in the air today, we decided to give an old favorite cocktail of ours a fall twist. We love a good Dark & Stormy on a summer’s day to cut through the heat. This drink is very similar to a Dark & Stormy … More Fall Cocktail

My husband and I like to go out for weekend (or weekday if we can swing it) bike rides into the hills around where we live. When we started, these were the biking equivalent of a stroll, slow pedals with stops for food and drink. He has since become an enthusiast while I struggle to … More Out for a Ride
Lunch! I’m bringing my lunch to work today! I tried to imitate a local grocery store’s, Mollie Stones, deli counter salad. They didn’t have the recipe on their website, but I thought I’d try it.
