On the third day of Christmas, I somehow ended up with three boys who are in complete disagreement about cheese preferences. My oldest son will sit on the couch with a hunk of cheddar and go to town, while my middle guy will only eat soft Italian cheeses like mascarpone or ricotta, preferably sweetened.

12 days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
On the second day of Christmas my second born was thrilled to receive two freshly filled cannoli from Cardona's Market. This child, who doesn't even like cheese, could not consume the lovely Italian pastries fast enough. I mean, the powdered sugar was flying as he gobbled them down, no joke.

Don’t fence me in
Running around my neighborhood and the Whitehall Road area, I notice things. It is amazing how no two runs are exactly the same because there's always something new or different to mentally note. We've been so fortunate that all of the additions (The Cheese Traveler, All Good Bakers, the newish branch of the public library, … Continue reading Don’t fence me in
Blocks of conversation at BUILT
Saturday night was the Historic Albany Foundation's annual art auction/fundraiser hosted at the stunningly beautiful (and really well-lit, Nick) Cathedral of All Saints. This was my 3rd time to attend this event and it just keeps getting better! The crowd is always uniquely and colorfully dressed and it is an absolute feast for the eyes … Continue reading Blocks of conversation at BUILT
