I'm never prouder to be even an infinitesimal part of the Capital Region dining scene than I am during this (4th) annual event. Such a terrific group of generous and hardworking - and really fun, folks that we are all lucky to have in our community.

Despite the fact that the conditions were dangerously icy yesterday and I fell multiple times, jamming my thumb really hard once and landing on my ass hard enough to create a bruise that I almost felt compelled to name, I absolutely LOVE cross-country skiing.

Snow job
Today, without a doubt, was the best cross-country skiing I've been fortunate enough to enjoy in the past 2 winters. The company, the conditions, the lighting, it was all perfect.

On the seventh day, God rested, right? Well, on the 7th day of Christmas, so did I - at Mingle, that is. Here's how it went down... Following a fun run and a delicious cocktail, I knew I needed to get back to the DelSo, park my car for the night and walk somewhere to … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
