A Chuckle Before You Gobble
The week of Thanksgiving is upon us and there is a lot to do. I thought I’d give you all a little pep talk about the big day and a rough timeline to help you focus. (Honestly, I’m not sure how this will help you focus but hopefully you will get a giggle out of …
The Brady Lunch
As I continue to recover from surgery, I’ve done a lot of two things. (Neither of which is cooking.) I sleep and watch TV (mostly encores from the 70’s). Sometimes there is a blur in my head not knowing if I am asleep and dreaming or if I really am part of the action that …
My Birthday Post
Thank you to everyone who has been writing in about the loss of my dog. I just got into the kitchen a couple of days ago and will do a recipe post early next week. Every year on my birthday, I take a moment to sit down and write about the previous year and take …
FLAF’s Holiday Shopping Guide 2012
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (or Hanukah or Kwanza or whatever excuse you need to be merry). I personally thought that the world really pushed the winter holidays on us a little too quickly. But now that Thanksgiving is over, I am one of those people freaking out about holiday shopping. I …

The last three days, I have sat down at my computer numerous times to write about the food at Chicago Gourmet this past weekend. I view my notes and pictures and immediately get hungry and feel the need to snack. Preferable snack on food from some of the best chefs and restaurants in Chicago. But …
Chicago Gourmet 2012: A Foodie Fun Day
There was no yellow brick road for me to follow and yet when I looked out at Millennium Park this weekend it seemed like the Emerald City to me. I felt the need to skip as I entered Chicago Gourmet 2012. (I didn’t actually skip but I did hop a little bit.) The fifth year …
Chicago Gourmet 2012
As I promised last year, I was going to let you all know about some food event opportunities BEFORE they happen in case you were interested in attending. With that said, I wanted to remind you that Chicago Gourmet is in less than two weeks and tickets are still available. This is a great event …
One to Watch: Red Butter
Passionate. Indulgence. When you hear those words what comes to your mind? Family? Work? Food? Well apparently those two words mean a lot to Chef Monica Sharma of Red Butter in Chicago. I first heard of Red Butter this past spring when I went to Baconfest. Their dish, bacon-Thai chile gulab jamun with bacon pistachio …
