Prior to our trip to Italy, I organized a special meal for Tom's (never-ending)birthday celebration. While we had originally hoped to have someone come to our villa to cook, it made more sense for us to travel a bit down the mountain to our chef's villa so she would have all of her utensils and … Continue reading Agriturismo in Tuscany

Solstice Sipping
Last night, the official start of summer, was also supposed to be the inaugural event of Tom's birthday week celebration. The plan was to meet friends at the Wine Bar & Bistro on Lark Street, to enjoy their Pagan discount and share Tom's natal holiday with friends here in Albany, since we'll be out of … Continue reading Solstice Sipping
Eating – NYC Edition
When I go to the city with the girls, food usually comes in second or third place, in terms of priorities. I mean, we all like to eat and enjoy a good meal, but shopping and drinking destinations (not necessarily in that order) usually trump dining options.

The sun was shining, and there was a delightful bigger-than-a-breeze-but-not-quite-a-wind making the terrace an ideal spot to … Continue reading Chaine des Rotisseurs Dinner – Dale Miller
Neil Young ~ Palace Theater 5/18/10
You know I worship Neil Young and I'm all about hanging out with my friends, having some food and drink (delicious pregaming @dp's!), and then going to a show, which made Tuesday night an almost perfect night. Oh, what the heck - it was perfect, once security ejected the moron, perhaps suffering from drunken Tourette's, … Continue reading Neil Young ~ Palace Theater 5/18/10
Sam’s Italian-American
For the past few weeks, I've been driving by an intriguing sign offering a chicken parmesan meal, with salad and pasta, for two for $22 at Sam's Italian American restaurant. I understand that there are people who take their chicken parm very seriously, but for me, it isn't at the top of my list for … Continue reading Sam’s Italian-American
