Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
As happy as I am to see my Dawgs secure the SEC East title this weekend, I was even happier to have a few more days of nice weather before the harsh New York winter makes its presence known. I can’t believe I forgot to share pics of my Halloween costume! Though I usually throw…

It has been a week since my last post, but that is because it was Thanksgiving, and eating/intense family time trumps blogging. Thanksgiving is one of the greatest holidays.
