I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]
Dear Heat Wave, Please end. Kind Regards, Nora I have been on the go all day and so has my food. I’m avoiding the heat at all costs. Working in the bakery today was AMAZING! I had to stop working there about a month ago when I started my full-time internship. I truly miss the [...]
Good Morning!! Good News: I survived another 90 degree night in my apartment!!! VICTORY! It wasn’t comfortable but I managed. Bad News: No breakfast/lunch post today.

I was VERY thankful to be in an air-conditioned office building all day. It was about 97 degrees and humid. Not. Good. When I left work today I knew that I needed a game plan. There was no way I would have survived if I went directly back to my sauna like apartment for the [...]

I heard a knock on my door this morning, “Nora….want to run to the high-school with me?” It was my dad. Without hesitation I screamed YES and was ready in five minutes. I was planning on going for a quick run down the street before heading back to my apartment but to me, there is [...]
I have a soft spot in my heart for Finger Lakes Region Wines. But when it comes to Hermann J. Wiemer wines…it’s a little thing called love. To celebrate America’s birthday, we started off with a Hermann J. Wiemer 2008 Reserve Dry Riesling and Triple Creme Cheese on Table Water Crackers. (I had about 4 [...]
HAPPY 4th of July! I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I came home! I had the BEST sleep last night in my air-conditioned room. I even slept in for once in my life. Sunday+Home= Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen. On the menu: 3 egg white omelet with goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes topped of with more goat cheese, [...]
I briefly debated not returning to my parent’s house this weekend. I’ve been “home” every weekend this summer for events and holidays and haven’t had the time to really settle into my apartment. There were a few things going on locally to occupy my time so I figured it was about time I stayed. That [...]
