A few weeks ago, I got to thinking that I should host my first solo event at Chez Silvia. The Memorial Day holiday provided the perfect opportunity to gather friends together to celebrate the arrival of summer while also memorializing the events of the past - perfect. As I considered the invite list and the … Continue reading Sausage Fest 2011!!

Falvo’s Meats
If neither time nor money were obstacles, there are a few things I would do differently in terms of indulgence. I would insist upon having fresh flowers in my home - always. Nothing fancy, not necessarily a fresh bouquet every day, but I would like there to be flowers in my dining room, bedroom and … Continue reading Falvo’s Meats
Delso House White – Summer 2011
I am a huge fan of Empire Wine and Liquor in the Northway Mall. I like the owners, I appreciate their marketing, which is frequent without being irritating, and I value their customer service which always saves me time.

Another great thing about traveling … Continue reading Food Porn – California style

One of my favorite parts of a week off from school is the opportunity to sample dining options at other times left unexplored. There are so many places that I'm interested in trying, all within 25 or 30 miles, that I could probably schedule a Dining Staycation quarterly without exhausting anything other than my American … Continue reading Cella Bistro lunch
