You may not have heard but this is American Craft Beer Week (ACBW). This week (May 13-19) has been set aside by the Brewers Association as a week to not only celebrate the small craft breweries out there but to also celebrate those who love and support the industry. Throughout the country this week, there …
My collection of Mother’s Day gifts this year all came before the actual day of Hallmark celebration and tasted and sounded delightful. A few weeks ago we went to see GOAT, a groovy psych-rock band from Sweden that I absolutely love. This past weekend I enjoyed the Sweetest Pint tour in York, PA, where …
The Grove Park Inn, in one of my favorite cities that isn’t terribly overrated at all, Asheville, NC, is a not only a world-class resort and spa but it’s also a local landmark. Opened in 1913 and thus coming up on its 100-year anniversary, this property was the brainchild of Mr. E.W. Grove, also formerly of …
One of the parts of the itinerary I was most excited for on my recent trip to Dublin, Ireland, was the visit to Malahide Castle. When my husband and I were over in 2011, our friend drove us through the castle grounds and we had a chance to view it from the outside but …
I often have an intended meal in mind for the day and end up changing it five minutes before I start cooking. One of the nice things about being a work at home parent is that I have the leisure of doing things like that. Sometimes I change my mind due to time constraints (we …
Last year I interviewed Kevin Brown, co-owner of The Fridge in Lancaster, PA, on his experience at SAVOR. SAVOR is “an American craft beer and food experience” and has been building steam since its debut in 2008 in Washington DC. Since then it has sold out festivals in 10 minutes, had exciting collaborations between breweries …
Insanity. A bouncing, weaving flood of floppy green top hats, shamrock shades, and body paint covering parts that I would have preferred to have covered on such a chilly and damp day. I awoke early on Sunday, March 17, in my comfortable room at the Burlington Hotel. I looked at the weather …
From what it looks like upon my brief search into the history of authentic buffalo wings, it is no different than many great legends – the details are disputed. One thing is certain, this legendary dish graces the menu of nearly every restaurant/bar where I’ve ever dined and I’m willing to bet that nearly every …
I’m a new member of a local bloggers’ group and in one of the emails sent out to us, I saw a 30% discount code for a company called Fit In Clouds ballet flats shoes. I’ve been wanting a pair of Tieks forever but haven’t been able to bring myself to drop $195.00 on a pair of …
My husband requested chicken fried chicken for dinner this week so I made it a couple nights ago. It’s one of those meals that either turns out fantastically or horribly, depending on the day. There is no rhyme or reason with chicken fried chicken and my ability to cook it. This time it turned out …
