It is always by the end of July that I start craving winter comfort foods. I’m not sure if I’ve gone crazy from the heat. (Yes, the heat will be my excuse for insanity.) Or maybe I am just tired of eating summer meals like salads, grilled proteins and popcorn. (I’m not sure if popcorn …

Foodie Fun Day #21: RA Sushi NEW MENU
Dilemma. I love sushi. (Okay, that is not a dilemma.) The problem is that not all of my friends love sushi. (They have other redeeming qualities.) So every time I leave my small town, I want to go to a sushi restaurant and they don’t. Well thanks to RA Sushi’s new updated menu, I will …
Powerful Lobster Roll (On a no power day)
Am I the only one who keeps hearing about Lobster Rolls? It is not like they are a new food item because they have been around since the 1970’s. (I don’t know that for a fact, I was an infant and that was the rumor around the playpen.) It just seems to be the sandwich …

I get out a couple times a day and talk to my plants. Our conversations are very one sided but fulfilling for all who are involved. I do …
Foodie Fun Day #20: The Lucky Monk
“Elevate your soul.” Is this the motto for a church? Nope. How about a beach yoga class? Nope. It is the part of The Lucky Monk’s motto “Delicious Food and Drink and a Welcome Warm Enough to Elevate Your Soul.” Named in honor of the Trappist Monks (beer crafting masters), The Lucky Monk located in …
Ginger Apricot Catch-Up
I am one of those people who really like Facebook. It has been a fun outlet for me to keep up with family and friends. (Without leaving the comfort of my Lazy-Boy.) One of the best parts of FB has been catching up with people from the block I grew up on in Park Forest, …
