Camille’s Cocktail

The weather was perfect. Seriously, look at that.

We wanted to watch dusky dawn break into a bright new day. But, that happens before 7am and we’re just not early risers. So, we couldn’t make that happen. We were still tucked into a downy bed nibbling on pieces […]

My Best Blueberry Crumble of 2015

Blueberries are one of my all-time favorite foods on the planet. They’re one of my weaknesses. If I see blueberries, I must buy them. So, how could I possibly resist a two pound box of perfectly ripe berries? But, blueberries are tricky. Just because they’re perfectly ripe, that doesn’t mean […]

Dark & Stormy With Spiced Rum

Make any day a holiday with one killer cocktail to share.

We’re always sharing our drinks. Because, just like food, drinks always seem to taste better when someone else makes it. Sometimes, one of us will steal an extra sip or two here or there. But, it’s always […]

The Roses Are Gone

We missed most of the full blooming roses this year. But, we were able to enjoy the buds and some of the full flowers. The fragrance was nothing short of heavenly in the back yard.

The alpine strawberries have been sprouting nicely. But, something is eating the tender […]

A Day At The Beach

Quiet Beach Days Are The Best

Cool, cloud free…

And, then, there’s the water.

…Just look at that water.

Too soon, we have to head back to reality. There’s unpacking to do. And, […]

My Honey, A Frog, & A Goldfish

Hmm…

“What? I’m just making a new friend…”

Rosie Schapp wrote a great piece for the New York Times (“How To Build A Solid Drinking Library”). After taking a peak at “The Goldfish” (Adapted By Gary Regan), I knew I […]

Dark Chocolate Nutella

So, once you taste the liquid heaven that is Nutella + dark chocolate. For your own safety, it must be turned into something you can’t devour in one sitting almost immediately. Visions of me, my little jar of dark chocolate heaven and a spoon still dance in my head.

La Floridita

To friends and family in the North, we’re thinking of you and stay warm! If you’re snowed in, this cocktail will help the time fly. Think of us when you sip this lovely taste of the tropics.

By the way, how do you like my new medieval torture […]

Rum Runner Pimento Cheese Spread

Two types of gouda and Bellavitano Rum Runner Sartori (about $17 a lb at Whole Foods) make this version of pimento cheese a little bit on the spendy. But, isn’t that always the way? The quality of the ingredients make the dish what it should be.

A sprinkle of Aleppo […]

Las Vegas — Blood Orange Screwdiver In Paris

In Vegas, you must take the good with the bad. If you find something good, why not take it home with you? This blood orange screwdriver was good enough to inspire an attempt to recreate it.

On days where we’re looking for a sweeter touch, we’ll use tangerine […]
