I woke up this morning, strolled across the hall to get ready to do some push-ups and crunches, looked out the window and what did I see? Oh yes, my favorite thing: Snow! As many of you know, I Heart Snow. It’s more of a wintry mix — snow and ice — but I saw […]

Bloomers rules. As of last night, it is one of our top two favorite restaurants in Saratoga Springs, along with Beekman Street Bistro. Coincidentally (or not?), both are bistros. The Bloomers subtitle is “An American Bistro.” Housed in a beautifully remodeled old diner on Route 9 (technically in Ballston Spa, not Saratoga, but close enough), […]

In the great tradition of wine tastings past — including Jen’s 30th and Alex and Cati’s summer Sauvignon Blanc bash, all inspired by our Bay Area tasting days — Alexis hosted a blind Riesling tasting for her birthday last Saturday. As usual — Wine Club #2 being the exception — Jen and I did not […]

I’ve come to an important realization: I’m a morning blogger. The earlier I wake up, the more likely I am to blog. If I don’t wake up early enough, I always have good intentions to blog at the end of the day after work, but by then, my eyes are usually pretty sore after being […]

Happy Standard Time, Dear Readers! I trust you all enjoyed the extra hour of sleep or leisure time this weekend. Even though it’s only an hour change, it felt like it threw off my internal clock more than that. Lots happening lately, but today I blog about the October 20 Halloween party hosted by Alex […]
