Go Green with Beaujolais Nouveau

November 22, 2008
Thumbnail image for Go Green with Beaujolais Nouveau

CK picked up our annual supply of Beaujolais Nouveau last night at Best Cellars. I was a little taken aback when I pulled the bottles out of the bag and discovered that they were made of plastic. I’ll confess, my inner wine snob initially reared her ugly head, and at first I wondered if CK [...]

Zeitgeist Coffee

November 4, 2008

I’ve always been a Starbucks girl even though 50% of the time the lattes are horrible, or cold, or taste burnt. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment, but I still enjoy a good White Mocha. That’s probably why I keep going back – the eternal hope that this time my drink will be delicious [...]

Say It Ain’t So Zane

October 7, 2008

It’s a sad day in our apartment as it’s finally been confirmed that the Mojo HD network has been slated for the big cable station in the sky. For the most part I could care less, but unfortunately this channel’s demise means that one of my favorite travel shows “Three Sheets” with the fabulous Zane [...]

Aveda Tea to the Rescue

August 27, 2008

I have the worst sore throat today. The only thing that is keeping me going at the office is cup after cup of this peppermint and licorice infused “Comforting” tea that I impulse shopped at Aveda a few months ago.

Review: GUS – Grown-Up Soda

July 22, 2008

CK Cooks: French Press Coffee

May 3, 2008

Guess who’s back, back again!
Erin and I have a weekend morning tradition of starting off nice and slow with some sort of breakfast and a freshly pressed cup of coffee. As much as we’d like to take credit for starting this trend in our home, it really was something I “borrowed” from elsewhere.
I have a [...]

Limoncello Uncapped

April 21, 2008

After a long and involved process the Limoncello was finally sampled on Saturday.  Beforehand though I spent hours in the kitchen prepping dinner.   Unfortunately several glasses of wine into the evening it completely slipped my mind to take any actual shots of the cooked food.  No doubt, a common hazard of the “job.”
In reality I [...]

The Care and Feeding of Limoncello

April 9, 2008

I feel like I’ve suddenly acquired a lemon slice filled aquarium. Should I name the curly pieces of zest that float about in their sea of Absolut all day? Lucy? Lola? Is that you?!
Honestly I had no idea that making lemon flavored booze would illicit such a strong and varied response from [...]
