Happy Easter to those celebrating today. I love Easter and was looking to buy Peeps this morning but could only find pink ones. I can't abide pink food unless it is strawberry ice cream so no peeps for me. What to pair with peeps and an Easter brunch? Moscato is actually the only wine that... Continue Reading →
For breakfast this past Saturday, a group of fortunate bloggers and I had wines from Brazil. While it certainly doesn't sound like an onerous task, at times it can be if you have to taste very heavy wines.

This wine Wednesday I am compelled to write about a Turkish wine that I had recently at a local neighborhood restaurant, Turkuaz, in New York City. I like Turkish food but the reason I went this time was for the belly dancing, oddly enough. I just started a class on belly dancing and have been... Continue Reading →
I am jumping out of my skin today. Partly because it's snowing, it should be spring and because I am participating in the New York Half Marathon tomorrow. No I am not running, I am walking it as part of Team in Training's team that raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). The... Continue Reading →
