Desserts Spelled Backwards Spells Stressed
Believe it or not, every week I give myself a writing assignment for the blog. It helps me stay dedicated to cooking something new each week and then having a topic for Felt Like a Foodie. But these last two weeks have been absolute cooking disasters….or maybe I should specify baking disasters. I thought it …
Happy Anniversary Hokkaido
When I moved to my small town in Indiana almost 18 years ago, it was an adjustment. I missed my friends, family and job. I had to adjust to a town that was not near everything (and by everything I meant shopping and my usual restaurants). It was a learning experience and not always easy. …
I Will Write 500 Blogs. I Will Write 500 More.
500. One day you are sitting on your favorite corner spot on the couch and your spouse says, “You should start a blog. People are always talking to you about food and this would be a great way for you to share everything you have learned. Make it funny and be true to yourself. Add …

Stuck in the Honey Tree
I woke up this morning knowing that I wanted to write a post but I truthfully had no desire to write about food. I was SUPPOSED to be writing today about two events that I had scheduled to go to in Chicago, Mod Mex (A Beyond Chicago Gourmet Event) and Oyster Fest (by Shaw’s Crah …
The Birthday Blog #45
Something happened. It is kind of horrible and wonderful all at the same time. I am trying to find the right words to use to talk about it but I’m almost speechless. But here it goes….I turned 45!!! 45!!!!!! How the heck am I 45???? I looked in the mirror this morning and thought, “Is …
