Last night I attended (or kind of crashed) a lovely party. Dale Miller Restaurant hosted an induction ceremony and dinner for The Chaine des Rotisseurs and I can't imagine a more perfect evening for such a wonderful event. 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.

Sorry if I'm projecting, but I definitely have a food hangover today - and I wish had like 3 more hours of sleep. … Continue reading Mother’s Day ~ Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Emperor’s Palace
At our house one of the birthday traditions is that the honoree gets to choose dinner and their cake. I will devote this post to the dinner - the cake was a bit complicated and will require an additional post.

Oh, Albany!
Last Saturday, I met a couple at the restaurant who were in the process of moving to Albany from San Francisco. Now, there are others who have made this same trek East only to be disappointed by some of what the Capital Region has to offer. I don't know if it is a question of … Continue reading Oh, Albany!
