Waking Up from My California Dream

September 13, 2008

Tomorrow marks the last day of my California adventure.  I’m trying not to dwell on the temporary nature of a vacation but am definitely sad to go.  However, the boyfriend and I will be ending our vacation on a high note: lunch at Chez Panisse, arguably the birthplace of Californian cuisine.  It’s bittersweet to end [...]

More California Eats: San Fran & Yountville

September 9, 2008

My initial plan was to simply write a summary post when I returned from vacation.  Even though I brought my laptop with me on vacation I figured it would be either too expensive or difficult to find wireless access or that I would succumb to the temptation to check my work email, effectively pulling me out [...]

Eating My Way Through Northern California

September 8, 2008

This morning my boyfriend and I will depart San Francisco for The Russian River Valley.  We’ve been having an amazing time and while I don’t have time for a recap now I will say that I will be surprised if I don’t gain at least 5 pounds on this trip.  Before we left my boyfriend asked [...]

I had distinct memories of frequenting one as a kid with my grandparents (mother’s mom & dad) and being nostalgic I wanted to [...]

Peach-Oatmeal Bread

September 1, 2008

Today was one of those days I was very thankful that I’d purchased my MacGourmet recipe organizing software.  I still had so many peaches on hand (not to mention a large bowl full of apples, also from the farm, and some tomatoes and peppers from the boyfriend’s father’s garden) that I wanted to transform them into [...]

Labor Day Weekend Day Trip: Cider Hill Farm

September 1, 2008

One of the things I adore about living in New England is the abundance of great day and weekend trips. I love that in only a couple hours drive (maximum) I can be touring breathtaking mansions in Newport or taking in a sunset over the ocean on Martha’s Vineyard. My favorite day trip though is [...]
