A recent overnighter, with the girls, in NYC provided the perfect opportunity to finally explore this abandoned elevated rail line - and it really was spectacular. The … Continue reading High Line
Memorial Day Party Food
I don't know how you cook, but for me it is a little like writing. I take an idea or thought and let it germinate... fester... ferment.

Chaine des Rotisseurs Dinner – Dale Miller
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
