It’s late, so I’ll make this one quick and let the pictures do the talking. PS: sorry about the blur on the right of some of the pics; I think I was doing a little too much nibbling with the camera and got a smudge on the lens:) So, it was my turn to host book club. Being the lover of wine and cheese that I am (and given that Sarah’s Key was set in France), I decided to make…

Yesterday was so much fun! I skipped my workout yet again because I’m still feeling exhausted from this cold. I walked downtown to meet Matt and help him celebrate one of his coworker’s birthdays. The only sign of spring out there was the bright sun – the highs are still only reaching the 30’s:( I finally got to try another Unibroue beer! La Fin du Monde is one of my all time favorites, but I’ve never tried any of the…
I had such a fun weekend visiting my grandmother in Baltimore! We had pie for breakfast… And, when Kath and Kanz are around, we always eat lots of fantastic bread… On Saturday we did some shopping at the Towson Loehmann’s, where my mom and grandmother have been shopping for 30 years! I’m sure you’ll get a glimpse of some of my new stuff through Fashion Friday posts… Matt and his parents joined us for cheese and beer sampling before…
Man, I ate and drank well this weekend. As I mentioned yesterday, it’s restaurant week in Boston and we joined our friends Lauren and Evan for dinner at Pigalle last night. Restaurant week can be hit or miss, and since the menus can be very limited, my technique for choosing a restaurant is to pick based on the menu offering first, and reputation second. Pigalle had more options than most of the other restaurants, and since I had heard good…
Sorry for the late post this evening. I was drinking wine at Sonsie with Matt and other students admitted to Duke’s MBA program. Fuqua hosted an event for Boston area admitted students as well as alumni and partners. It’s late, so I’m headed straight to bed, but I have a few notes on the evening: 1. I continue to be impressed with Sonsie. I was delighted to have a slice of the famous pumpkin pizza as well as a…
Rainy days are much more fun when they’re warm. I’m getting pretty fast at writing psych reports, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing. Is it weird that grocery shopping gives me a rush? I’m eating heart to heart cereal now, and it’s such an interesting invention. I wonder if there’s any story behind the creation of cereal. Has anyone been to Atlantic city? Matt and I might be making a stop there for a night. Last night…
The recap of my San Fran trip continues…. ….in wine country! Matt and I got on the road nice and early on Friday and made it to the Russian River Valley around 11. Our first stop was a small, family owned winery called Arista. Arista was definitely my favorite winery of the day because of the Japanese-inspired gardens and the spicy Zinfandel. We also made a quick stop at De La Montanya for some funky red blends and great conversation,…
Hello. I won’t keep you guys waiting so it’s right back to where I left off…. After a short walk/run on Thursday morning, Matt and I set out with Lauren and Evan to do a little exploring along the Embarcadero. I knew I had to make a stop at the ferry building to sample a few things Kath has raved about on trips for San Fran… I purchased a very special chocolate bar and a nice hunk of goat gouda…
Hi Friends, Long time no see! Thanks for all the wonderful comments, both on my post about living in the moment and Kath’s tips for taking back the rest of the week! Please excuse me for not responding to comments right away though, as I’m living in the moment here on the west coast! The weather is a little chilly here, but it still felt wonderful to walk around in just a light coat yesterday. I spent most of the…
