Anniversary: a date that is remembered or celebrated because a special or notable event occurred on that date in a previous year Yesterday was my 22nd wedding anniversary.

Lunch at the Culinary Institute of America
Some days my good fortune threatens to overwhelm me. For instance last Friday, as part of a day of professional development, I had the opportunity to enjoy a three-course meal at Ristorante Caterina de Medici, the CIA's Italian restaurant. What a treat! Have you dined at the CIA before? I think it's been close to … Continue reading Lunch at the Culinary Institute of America
Millions of (bad tasting) peaches

My two teenaged sons, perhaps in an attempt to make up for lost time, are each working two jobs. With our combined … Continue reading The pasta that made Matt Baumgartner a dad

I know, I know, I'm late to the game on this place. What can I say? I've been busy and since they're closed Monday nights, I haven't been able to take advantage of this spot as an easy and quick dinner spot with my guys at the start of a week. Last Saturday, though, the … Continue reading A rave for Crave
