Many years ago, about fifteen to be precise, Sydney and I began preparing a special treat bag to hand out to our family and friends that have joined us in our Thanksgiving celebration. I love the look in each person’s eyes when they realize Sydney and I have...

I planned to write a journey of DF’s birthday week of treats, however last evening we spent the night, as a family, talking and catching-up long after the meal ended. I wanted the night to remain special to DF; I tend to be a workaholic (as is DF). Lately I...

I am going to take a moment to show you what I woke up to this morning, and due to the drastic drop in the barometric pressure I have a migraine. Thank goodness chocolate has caffeine and caffeine helps migraines…guess what I am snacking on… While dipping...

I mentioned in the last post this week has had a rocky start, to say the least, I wish I could report that it has leveled a bit, however today was pretty chaotic as well, a snow storm has decided to visit us, every appointment we had today ran 15 minutes late, and DF...

Rum Caramel Cups have to be the most sought after dessert in our household; Sydney knows if she doesn’t count her half and hide them in the refrigerator DF will eat the entire batch. We generally have them throughout the year, but during the holidays, especially...

As I have more than mentioned I ADORE summer; it seems incidental as I write this blog the weather has already changed. The air is cool, damp, and starting to feel crisp. I know there will still be the 85 degree days, but all the romance of summer has all but ended....

Sydney and I share the same weaknesses for marshmallows (dreammallows as we call them), NCIS and the “Dawn” duck commercial. Law of averages the “Dawn” commercial must air about five times when we watch an NCIS episode together; without a doubt...

A few nights past I had a chocolate cup graving so desperately, if I didn’t know better I would have thought I was pregnant. Since that is physically impossible I begged Sydney to help me create a coupe dozen. It wasn’t that hard to convince her since she...

I just love Halloween; and why not? What other time can you knock on a door and be treated with a sweet goody? Of course it really is not as safe as it was when I was little, in fact Sydney only ever “trick or treated” with friends in our neighborhood or...

Vanilla Pods I just adore those almost black, tacky, fragrant, delicious and “O” so versatile pod. The minute I take one out of it’s glass holder the vanilla pod becomes an irresistible aromatic party for my senses: the look, the smell (of course),...
