Screw Hallmark - as far as I'm concerned, May 5th was my ideal Mother's Day. No matter what happens next Sunday, I will cherish the day I had, from the scandalously late start to the fortified-with-an-afternoon-nap late ending - perfect! Let me be a little more specific... Saturday night, I shot a SEEN gallery down … Continue reading Done with Mother’s Day

Putting my money where my mouth is
I spent a little time Sunday afternoon at an event at Mingle. It was a fundraiser for Kathy Sheehan's campaign for mayor and there were familiar faces present as well as some local food items from our DelSo peeps, All Good Bakers, The Cheese Traveler, Tilldale Farms and, of course, Mingle. I have no personal … Continue reading Putting my money where my mouth is
I miss my neighbors and other random laments from the perpetually busy
It seems like a long time since I've kicked back with my neighbors and enjoyed a bottle or two of wine.

The memories of that day have faded, like the photos … Continue reading Burning memories
12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso
The 9th day of Christmas would be the ideal time to visit the big sister on the block - Nicole's Restaurant. This family run spot is most definitely an established business in the DelSo, really, it's practically an institution. Established in 1986 (!), Nicole's has long been a consistently great spot for a romantic dinner … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso
12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo
On the 8th day it was time to check out the bar(tenders) at a favorite neighborhood joint - New World Bistro Bar. This place has been such a huge asset to the DelSo area. Seriously, it probably single-handedly started the resurgence of Delaware Avenue when it opened a few years back. I think the appeal … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo
