Life has been happening and I’ve had to be responsible and engaged in said life activities so spending time here hasn’t happened. But here I am! I’m here! If only just for a second. So what can I say about the food world that will tease and tantalize and make you keep coming back here…

Earls – Who Knew
I was invited to a tasting event at Earls Campus location last week, to which I said yes too, then had to bail on the day of because life happened. So that was the end of that, or so I thought. I received a message from the event coordinator, cate (I type that in lower…
Cask and Barrel Now Open
Oh dear lord, and it’s located directly between my office and my car (or the bus stop, depending on how things go). I have watched the Cask and Barrel being built, discounting in my mind that it would take months and months so wasn’t paying THAT close attention. However, as I left the office on…
Robert Burns
Robert Burns loved his country, women, and booze, and spent time calling out out hypocrites, plowing through nests of mice, and eating haggis …. and then writing about it. He was a blogger! And like many bloggers, he obviously didn’t like sitting for pictures, because it seems the picture above is one of the few…
Stephen Duckett’s Pate
Christmas party season is well upon us, and Michael and I attended our third, last night. Technically, it was a farewell party hosted by Stephen Duckett, his charming partner Terri, their lovely daughter/generous wine pourer, Sarah, and a friendly black cat I spotted when I was admiring their spiffy and well-stocked wine racks. I really…
Game of Thrones
Tonight is the eve of a Game of Thrones marathon at a friend’s house. And because this friend of mine has a terrific, if not envious imagination, we are making it a “theme” day. She is serving food items like sweet baby gherkins (“Tyrion’s Little Pickle”), cheese slices (“Joeffrey’s a Muenster” cheese), crackers (“King Aerys…
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Last night I celebrated Diwali with friends and had some of the most amazing, most delicious, most flavourful Indian food I have ever eaten in my life. I resolved privately to myself that I would never cook again until I’ve learned how to cook Indian. You think I’m kidding? Ha! I’ve registered to take an…
Nigella Lawson’s Lemon Linguine
Who doesn’t love Nigella Lawson? And who doesn’t love egg yolks, cream, butter, lemon, parmesan, and pasta? Okay, maybe you don’t, but I do, and this is my blog, and this post is dedicated to Nigella’s Lemon Linguine recipe. It’s quick. Easy. Delicious. And impresses the pants off my husband. If you are invited to…
Tres Carnales
Up until today, my exposure to Mexico, Mexican people and Mexican food, has been, in order: 1. Speedy Gonzales2. Tijuana Brass (The link plays music. You’ve been warned). 3. Visiting Tijuana by car, our 1974 Ford Station Wagon, my sister and I rolling around like loose golf balls in the back of the car on…
Talulah’s Garden
I’m in Philadelphia and although only my second visit it is feeling homey and familiar. Had to give the cab driver directions to my hotel. Arrived at suppertime and thought I’d eat at M’s which is adjacent to and owned by my hotel, The Morris House Hotel. But they were full. Much like a post…
