Review – Jim Dandy’s Family BBQ

July 12, 2010

(Guest post by The Boyfriend) I have a love/hate relationship with smoke. There’s smoke.  But then there’s smoke.

Cocktail Hour: The Bloody Caesar

July 9, 2010

I have long said that I dislike savory drinks. I’m notorious for it– give me a Mimosa over a Bloody Mary any day.

July 8, 2010

July 7, 2010

I don’t often post recipes– not that I don’t cook, but I don’t really like doing process photos and staging my food. However, I can’t possibly go another day without sharing this super-simple recipe for something so delicious. Pickled red onions are tres fashionable these days.

Senate loses its patio

July 6, 2010
