La Belle Vie
Date Night, Bar La Belle Vie, all good. We skipped wine and sipped truly yummy summer cocktails – tasties such as Old Cubans (Mount Gay Rum, Fresh Mint, Bitters, Fresh Lime and Cava) and Prince Alberts (Earl Grey Infused Bombay Sapphire Gin, Fresh Lemon Sweet & Sour And Soda). We sat down at the bar…
From A-Z
Farewell to Fugaise, now in its last week of business, although certainly not the last act for talented chef Don Saunders. John and I, along with Genie & Joe Dixon, Kathleen Ruhland, and Angela & Mark Lageson, joined Fugaise regulars Debbie & Stu (The Wine Genius) Wiliams and Sue & Lou Ainsworth for a last-hurrah…
East Hampton Does Not Suck, Part II
Despite persistent clouds and rain (boo), we’ve been able to spend a nice amount of time outside. On Friday, John and I fit in a stroll through lovely Sag Harbor, stopping for focaccia sandwiches at one of our favorite little cafes, Espresso. You only order one of these babies for two or more people –…
Real Foodies Make Their Own Cheese
I’m not a Foodie, not really. Oh, I love to cook and eat (and talk about it!), of course, but I’m way too lazy to be a real Foodie, the kind that strives for the very highest quality and most unique of food experiences. I’m much more likely to let someone else crawl the city…

Over this past Date Weekend, great biking (a correctly tuned bike! I’m so into it!) with John and a couple of lovely meals out to boot. As I mentioned below, we kicked off a long weekend together last Thursday, in the uber-romantic bar at Cafe Lurcat (twinkly chandeliers everywhere, pic from their website). No frites…

Another blast of a 4th of July for the books. You know, I’m kinda deciding that the 4th is my favorite holiday – first of all it’s a Shubert holiday, guaranteed fun. Plus the sunshine, hanging by the pool, grilled food, cold beer, and fireworks… I don’t know, I think it’s pulling neck-n-neck with Thanksgiving,…

Madame Stephanie Levy – c’est moi, at least at the Commanderie de Bordeaux dinner I attended this evening, as a guest of Stu (The Wine Genius) and Debbie Williams. Held at the Minneapolis Club, featuring the wines of Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafitte and winemaker Daniel Cauthiard, I had a grand old time eating, drinking, and BS-ing with…

Hey! Almost the end of Thursday, thought I’d sneak in a quick post. Fun, fun dinner tonight with Bill & Karla, Joe & Genie, and Stu (The Wine Genius) & Debbie here a the hacienda. Summer casual, as in very, sticking to the menu I outlined yesterday except I baked a Summer Fruit Upside Down…

Happy Hanukkah, everyone! Parties and cocktails and shopping, oh my! Friday’s dinner at 112 Eatery with Rudy& Ana and Stu The Wine Genius & Debbie was as fab as anticipated, thanks in no small part to wine, wine, and more wine – in other words, Our Usual! 2005 Novellum Chardonnay… 1995 Sina Qua Non (Syrah…

What a day – boating on the St. Croix river with Baseball Moms Beth, Jennifer, Sonja, and Suzanne. Plenty of sunshine, breathtaking scenery, hardly another soul on the river, great tunes, more beverages than we could possibly drink, a variety of tasties, and lots and lots of chat. Ahhhhh, so relaxing and decadent. Everyone kept…
