A Souper Distraction
Do you get distracted easily? Do you look at your phone every time it lights up? Do you stop in midsentence when you suddenly remember something? Do you see a hawk in the sky when you are driving and veer a little off the road? It doesn’t take much for me but I get distracted. …

Who do you love? I kept hearing the chorus of this rock n’ roll classic over and over in my head on from last Saturday and Sunday at the 11thannual BON APPÉTIT Presents Chicago Gourmet. (A little fun fact….did you know Bo Diddley wrote “Who do you love” in the 1950’s?) Walking around this year’s …
Chicago Gourmet 2018 Part 1 Rock The Fork
I can’t say I’m a “Party like a rock star” kind of gal but I felt that way this morning after spending the weekend enjoying the 11thannual Bon Appetit Presents Chicago Gourmet.
