I am a pie kind of gal. It is common knowledge, I will search for pie at every opportunity-family vacations, weekend jaunts, regattas, anytime, anywhere. Yes, some serious hunting for a slice of some “damn fine pie”. A family trip years ago in a rental car did not deter me (our Suburban died in Salt …
One of my favorite shows on Netflix is the Japanese production Samurai Gourmet. I LOVE this show. I’m crossing my fingers that they will produce more episodes. It follows newly retired exec Kasumi as he rediscovers the simple pleasures of life (most of which involve food of course). Timid by nature, he has an alter …
The kids were home for about a week but we were so busy running around we never got around to our annual summer burger cook-off. Disappointing but little did I know the chance to flex my culinary muscle would happen anyways. Each year Saveur magazine presents awards for the Best Food Blog. While perusing the …
Jamie was home for the week so of course, we pulled out the party plates and hosted a happy hour at our house. Though we usually stick to finger foods, we broke out the forks and chopsticks for a delicious, perfect for hot weather dish, Sesame noodles. A combination of soy, vinegar, sesame oil in …

I love graham crackers and recently shared the recipe to make homemade grammies. Easy and infinitely better than the blue box of cookies that shall not be named. Well, I got my embossed rolling pin. Check out my fancy-schmancy graham crackers. Takes these bad boys to a whole new level. I found embossed rolling pins …
Jamie is working in Atlanta for the summer so we packed our bags and headed out to see her and visit yet another great city in the South. We booked an AirBnB in downtown Atlanta, 6 eagerly anticipated vacation days…that is until we glanced at Weather.com, 90 degree heat and 90 percent humidity. Ugh. When …
