One of the best parts of my “cheese”cation was the obvious…. tasting the cheese. Each time we stopped at a creamery, there would be something to try. What made it even better (if 3 days of eating cheese wasn’t good enough) was the fact that I was surrounded by sooooo many experts. As mentioned in …

I Went on a 3-Day “Cheese”cation in Wisconsin: Part 1
I was reminded about the nursery rhyme about Little Miss Muffet. She was the gal who sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey. My version of that nursery rhyme would have gone something like this: Little Miss Foodie sat on her booty Learning about curds and whey. Rode on bus without a lot …
Tzatziki Sauce: A Consonant Friend
One of my favorite things to do with friends is catch up over lunch or coffee. Our conversations usually cover the usually topics of hubbys, kids (theirs) and food (mine). The other day during one of these wonderful catch up sessions, we started talking about things to put on a burger. (Yep, we are that …
Foodie Fun Venue by Sunda New Asian
I like the word approachable. If you look up the word in a thesaurus you will see synonyms like “friendly”, “welcoming”, “pleasant”, “cordial” and “inviting.” These are also words I feel each time I walk into Sunda in Chicago. Part of Rockit Ranch Productions, Sunda is a superstar when it comes to showcasing both Eastern …
Summer Lovin’ (And Chicken too)
There are a lot of reasons why I especially love this time of year. Part of the reason is the warming weather and the gorgeous, glowing sun. It is the greenness of the trees and the clearness of the blue sky. Mostly it is because 17 years ago I fell in love with my husband …

How Do You Aioli?
I don’t want to say that this winter was long but I ran out of my homegrown, canned tomatoes. (I was trying to think of a joke about long winters but there was nothing funny about this year!) My go-to canned tomato is Red Gold. I like the texture and the various flavors of their …
She Sells Stuffed Shells….
“She sells seashells on the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So, if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.” I don’t know why this tongue twister keeps going around in my head. (Actually, I didn’t even know the last 3 lines until I looked them up.) I …
Hypocritical Oaf Potato Packets
The Hippocratic Oath. It is the oath that is recited by physicians to care for their patients honestly and ethically. It is the backbone of our healthcare industry. I, on the other hand, am a hypocritical oaf. Have you heard of people like these? We are the first to be vocal on a subject but change …
