After The falling incident on Monday, I didn’t want to leave Truffle alone for long. Dinner last night had to be easy cheesy. I roasted a small zucchini and eggplant.

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 [...]
This afternoon a meeting invitation popped up on my computer with the subject line “Ice Cream” and the event details stating: “Come join us in Conference Room 1 to kick the weekend off right.” Imagine me jumping out from my cubicle and prancing around like a 5 year old. Ice cream is my favorite food. [...]
