It’s been a while, dear readers, and for good reason. It wasn’t for lack of motivation or procrastination. I’ve been busily writing my debut novel. It is 2019, however, and I wanted to post my first blog of the New Year. Given my last post […]
This blog was begun under the premise that this is “one woman’s personal tales of life after loss through food, fashion, lifestyle, and travel.” Since then, I’ve posted about plenty of food, a bit of fashion, lots of lifestyle, and troves of travel. I haven’t, […]
Whenever I travel to another city, town, or country, one of the first things I check for is a good wine bar. The discovery of one can prove to be difficult on a holiday. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case this past Fourth of July when […]

I’m heading to the windy city for Fourth of July weekend. John Mayer, whom I’ve always wanted to see live, is playing with the surviving members of The Grateful Dead at Wrigley Field on the first. I’ve also always wanted to visit Chicago, so instead […]
Growing up, my maternal grandmother’s potato salad was one of the sides I would look forward to the most at family barbecues. It was delicious and had that wholesome, homemade taste you can’t find in a restaurant. Trader Joe’s packaged potato salad comes pretty damn […]
