For a while, I was sort of opposed to restaurants. I thought it was cheaper, healthier and more fun to make and eat my own food at home. I’m not sure that’s untrue, but lately I’ve been increasingly interested in checking out local restaurant establishments and discovering what others are creating. Getting inspiration from the [...]

One of my favorite things about HLS is the people. The sessions are always good, but I think most of the attendees would be happy to just socialize for 48 hours. Granted, I almost lost my voice as a result, but that’s not the point. This year, I really lucked out in the roommate department. [...]

If you missed it, go read about what we did in Ocean City, New Jersey last week. Enjoy the absence of food photos while you’re there because below are the 5 best things I ate in Ocean City, in no particular order. We were told several times by Brian’s uncle and aunt that Ocean City [...]

I have this thing about time off. Even if I have a million things to do at home, I have very little patience for staying home more than 2 days in a row. If I’ve got a day off, I want to go somewhere and do something. So, over Memorial Day weekend Brian and I [...]

Saturday night Brian and I ventured to Rub Bourbon and Barbecue in downtown North Adams (they also have a website here, but it appears to be unfinished). He’s been itching to try it for a while now and we had an available night (shocking!) so we decided to check it out. Rub’s menu is so [...]

Last night I went into Albany to meet with the CDNY Eat Drink Blog ladies at New World Bistro Bar. The event had been plan long before the Vegan for a Week Challenge and when I took on the challenge, I’d originally forgotten all about dinner. Luckily, New World Bistro has a vegan menu. I [...]

As I mentioned the other day, we don’t eat out much. But I do like eating out; sometimes it’s nice to have someone else doing the cooking and cleaning. Clearly, I’m not the only one who cares about restaurants: 10 Menu Trends We’d Like to See in 2011 (via Serious Eats) I’m not sure how [...]

We are not big on eating out. It’s not that I don’t like restaurants, but I like cooking and saving money too much to go to out on a regular basis. If we eat out more than once a month, its a rarity. But once in awhile, we make an exception. Prior to last Sunday, [...]

Yesterday I headed into New York City with Brian’s family. The plan was to check out the Museum of Art and Design, get lunch and do a little walking around. We decided to eat lunch at Bouchon Bakery, a bakery co-owned by Thomas Keller in the Time Warner Center. The sandwiches looked mighty tasty and [...]

It’s amazing how quickly vacation can seem like it was years ago. We’ve been home for 10 days, but that relaxed, carefree feeling that comes from not wearing make-up or having a schedule for a week is quickly disappearing. It’s probably just as well that it took me awhile to write Part 2 of this [...]
