Review: 360 Vodka
Posted on May 20, 2008 - Filed Under drinks | 3 Comments
To my recollection, I have never talked about alcohol on this blog before. I don’t know why. I just haven’t. But even in a family cooking blog, alcohol can have its place. That’s why I said a quick yes when 360 Vodka asked if I would like to try their product. Of course I would. [...]

The latest issue of Bon Appetit came in the mail on the same day that I happened to buy a bottle of POM (you know, that pomegranate juice that everyone seemed to be talking about and using, um, yesterday — yes, I am a little behind on that trend). So anyway, it just seemed like [...]

When I was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (in less than 24 hours) right after it came out, I had a hankering for a hot cocoa. Call me crazy, but despite the soaring temperatures and stifling humidity, curling up with a good book (oh my, was it ever good!) and a hot chocolate [...]

I am so irritated right now. I just wrote a whole post and hit publish only to have it bring me back to the log-in screen. So this is going to be short. New Blogger is not agreeing with me this morning.
Sometimes we all need a moment of relaxation. (How coincidental that one of [...]
Ode to Tea
Posted on November 8, 2006 - Filed Under drinks | 1 Comment
There is nothing like a good cup of tea. Not too sweet, flavored just right, just smooth and warm sip after sip. It’s a calming moment in a hard day, or a warming interlude on a chilly morning.
I like my tea brewed from loose leaves with a little honey, no milk or cream. After [...]

What’s morning up? Morning up is what you need when you’re alarm has jolted you from sleep, leaving you eyes half shut and your lids unyielding. It’s what you need when your limbs just don’t want to pull away from the warm, cushioned comfort of your bed. It’s what you need when you’ve been up [...]

Okay, so there really is no sunshine here today. In fact, I think the sun just flat out took a weeks vacation from here in Connecticut because all I have seen all week is rain, clouds and more heavy rain. Today in particular, it’s pouring outside. Yuck. I have gardening to do!
In any case, [...]

I’ve heard it a million times. “I don’t like the taste of water.” And with that comment off the person goes to grab a soda, juice or whatever taste it is they do like. Of course, they’re abandoning the possibility that water could be made tasty with a few minor adjustments. But let’s face it, [...]
