I've heard a lot of people complaining about the weather we've been having recently. You know, the winter weather we're having in winter. I've come to realize that I'm a person who definitely appreciates all 4 seasons - I don't think I could live in a region that didn't have the variety of weather conditions we experience … Continue reading Salad? In the winter?

Dinner at Max London’s
I don't often get to Saratoga, which is unfortunate because there are some places there that I definitely enjoy. There are also a number of joints which I've been wanting to try; places like Sperry's, Maestro's, and Max London's. Friday night I finally got to Max London's - with basically good results. I wasn't blown away by Max's food … Continue reading Dinner at Max London’s

Case in point: these breakfast potatoes. I was staring hard at a … Continue reading Coquette croquettes
