The holidays are always slightly bittersweet for me. I completely indulge in the comfort of my family, home and luxurious foods. I had a hard time leaving my parents today but knew it was time to get back into my everyday routine. Sadly all good things must come to an end. As much as I [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]

Breakfast today was salty. I am at the very bottom of my sunflower seed butter jar and was taken back by the potent flavor of the last few bites.

Hi my name is Nora, and I have a minor obsession with the TV show Glee. I wasn’t always this way. One boring day I saw a re-run. I was hooked. It’s becoming a problem. A part of me wants to have “Sing-off Wednesday” to honor the season premier. I can’t sing but how fun [...]
Monday madness began first thing. I had one of those “how is it already time to wake up?” moments followed by a pounding headache provided by the barking dog downstairs.
