Okay, so not just any coconut water. I want to tell you a bit about Vita Coco Coconut Water. You are probably thinking I have lost my marbles. I have to tell you when I first read about coconut water on Runner Dude’s blog, I hesitated. I don’t like coconut. I don’t like it shredded… Continue reading Coconut Water – Product Review
So I posted some photos from a Happy Hour at Chapter House in Ithaca a couple weeks ago. Now summer has hit in earnest here in the Northeast, I wanted sunshine and outside for happy hour. Did I find it? You bet! Didn’t even really have to go looking as I knew where I was… Continue reading Friday Fun – Retake!
I was at a wedding on the 19th, actually in the buffet line at the reception, when it dawned on me. I had not eaten any meat since Wednesday night’s dinner. This was definitely not intentional up to that point. I did, though, intentionally eat only the veggie lasagna as an entrée that night. Truthfully, I had… Continue reading Do You Eat Meat?
A friend told several of us that she was nursing her child for the last time and it was a bittersweet feeling. Strangely, I remember the feeling and my “baby” is 15 years old. My thoughts did not necessarily turn to the last time I nursed that baby but more to the twins. With the… Continue reading The Last Time

Now, I look for more in my PB. The other day I was wondering the aisles at… Continue reading Peanut Butter Preference?
I have to admit I tried to cram as much as I possibly could into Saturday as the weather was amazing! Saturday’s mid-80 temps may mean summer was here and gone but the sun and heat were fantastic! On the way home from Ithaca, my daughter and I stopped in at Six Mile Creek Winery.… Continue reading Sunny Saturday
Regardless of where you turn here in my area, there is a Friday Fish Fry going on during Lent. If you are not going to or working a Fish Fry, you are probably having pirogi at another church. Since the Photo Club I go to has food as the photographing assignment this month, I decided to take… Continue reading Lenten Fish Fry
You would think that leftovers was a four letter word at my house. Once we have a meal, heaven must send little messages to my kids saying do not eat that again. Do not reheat. It amazes me that they will gush – yes, literally gush – over a dish but then not want to… Continue reading Leftovers
I still have to arrive at the Carriage House Cafe during regular business hours. I attended a party in the upstairs hall last Friday evening. If the food and atmosphere that were present upstairs carrying into the daily operations – and from the menu, I believe they do, this location could become my new favorite… Continue reading Carriage House Cafe, Ithaca – Review
