So I’m in a Starbucks with Jon, which is right up the street from the Millenium Restaurant, where the first event of the Foodbuzz Bloggers Festival will be in a couple of hours. This will be an unofficial dinner of sorts for those of us that have gotten into town early. The actual festival begins […]
Who Taught You To Cook?
Adorable isn’t she? That’s a picture of my friend Yvonne as a little girl. Not only was she hooked on chocolate at an early age, but on cooking as well. I share this with you along with quite a few posts from wonderful friends and friends of friends who decided to share with me on […]
Dinner For Two: Cooking For Your Man… The New Sexy
Being back from Maui and reunited with Jon has been wonderful and from the minute I landed in California, there has been a bevy of events and activities to tend to. Jon’s web design business is doing quite well and he’s been busy, while I work hard at regaining some type of schedule to my […]

The Practice Of Stewardship
I don’t like cleaning. Never have. I’ve always felt, even as a child faced with a list of chores, that there were so many other more important, interesting things to do with my time. I think that one of the sweetest times in my relationship with household cleaning was when for a few years, money […]

The Best Laid Plans
Atrocious isn’t it? I can’t believe I would use that word on my scrumptious food blog, but there it is. I had such hopes for this dinner. And it was wonderful to prepare. The candle on my altar was lit, I had some Buddha Lounge music on and the evening felt important and prayerful. I […]
