I understand that, to some people, going to the track involves a pink sheet and placing bets, but I've always enjoyed it best early in the morning before the crowds arrive. The true beauty of the facility and the horses just shines when the day is new and the air is fresh. It was a … Continue reading Saratoga morning

For breakfast, I ate pork belly – Pinewoo0d Social
Eating breakfast out is generally not my thing. It’s usually just too much for me – time, money and calories. An exception is made, though, when I travel and more than one person had strongly recommended the same spot. So, on our first morning in town, I made a reservation and we took the short … Continue reading For breakfast, I ate pork belly – Pinewoo0d Social

I was spending the night with a school friend who had hippy parents who joyfully exposed me to all sorts of new things - like a water bed, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, an unusual musky smoke wafting around and pomegranates. Although I have owned a copy of … Continue reading Love apples
Maple Weekend 2014
I don't know about you, but I grew up believing that "pancake" syrup was all there was to drown my pancakes in. Based upon my middle son's recent query about "Why is the number one ingredient in maple syrup water?," I have to think that more must be done to educate children about the difference … Continue reading Maple Weekend 2014
