It’s been a long time since my trip to Denmark and Sweden in the summer of 2017 but I felt it was important to document it for my failing memory. My invitation came from Absolut Elyx, a luxury brand vodka. The trip included a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark and car ride to Sweden where the... Continue Reading →
I’m running out of fast-food franchises that serve fish sandwiches, at least at a local level. A few years ago KFC touted a blink-and-you-missed-it “lent-seasonal” fish sandwich, and Chick-Fil-A offers a fish sandwich but not in this market. And burger joints Five Guys, Smashburger, Little Big Burger and Shake Shack— no dice. Floundering, I... Continue Reading →
Confession: I don’t think I really liked ube until my uncle brought me a tub back from the Philippines. Ube donuts and various other ube-laden pastries were either too sweet for me or the texture was too grainy. So upon receiving a jar my first inclination was to immediately send it to my sister-in-law in... Continue Reading →
The problems with my back began a little after my mom died. I recall walking Doctor in the rain and as I stepped onto a wet metal grate, my foot slipped and my back went out. I could’t stand upright without pain and, trying to be as cost conscious I could be, found a nearby... Continue Reading →

Since Doctor’s big escape from the Rover sitter last October and our big reunion, I’ve been keeping to myself, microblogging over on Instagram and enjoying the love of my sweet puppy (who is also now on IG) and husband. There is traveling to make up... Continue Reading →

Doctor’s health Shortly after reuniting with Doctor on Sunday and telling Babs our how of how he came to us, she warned us about several things. Doctor may suffer from PTSD. Who knows what he encountered out there? Did a bus nearly hit him? Did... Continue Reading →
If things had gone according to plan, I would be regaling you with tales from Alaska, a trip to celebrate Paul’s 50th birthday. Paul’s lifetime goal was to visit all 50 states and Alaska was his last, so a 50th on his 50th. Instead we spent 88 hours looking for Doctor who escaped his sitter’s... Continue Reading →
Do you ever want to keep a spot to yourself because it’s so darn delicious and only a few insiders now about it? That’s how I feel about Surf & Soul Spot. It’s been a few months since Holly of FMITK told me about this spot and I’ve been girding myself for when people find... Continue Reading →
I have a weakness for croissants: plain croissants, chocolate croissants, ham and cheese croissants and croissants stuffed with gelato. My favorite above all are almond croissants. At bakeries and coffee shops, almond croissants are slightly more than your plain variety but I recently discovered that you can make them at home! Correction on making it... Continue Reading →
