Quick Fix

I needed a quick fix yesterday. My stash of chocolate bars just didn’t do it. It was gratifying and sort of gave me a boost. This was what I gobbled up.

They certainly were calorie laden, but what the heck. They were gone in no time. All my husband could do was look at me in […]

Cherries Sans Chocolates

Today, I have been binging on these:

I can’t stop, because they’re sooo sweet. At least for once, I have a better alternative to manage my love affair with sweets, specifically chocolates. Not a single chocolate in my digestive system today? I hope so. Wish me luck.
This is it for today…in My World.

Sweets for the New Year

This time, my pick is my new found love: Charbonnel et Walker.I’m not saying it’s goodbye to Teuscher, as it really is my choice for truffles, I’m just saying this is my new love. […]

The turkey

As you may know by now, those that have been frequently visiting, I had my first ever try on roasting a whole turkey last Monday. It was such an experience, that even if it involved a lot of work I will be doing it again.

It was a lot of work because, I simply refused to […]

On a recent trip to Maine, we stumbled upon the store and went in to explore. I enjoyed browsing through their wide selection of products and I got the chance to taste test […]

58 Degrees

Yes, the temperature was only that high today in NYC. At 10:00 a.m. I woke up to this view outside. If yesterday was dreary, today wasn’t only dreary, it was and is windy and rainy. With this kind of weather, the chance of my little garden surviving is low. What, with the strong winds we […]

A taste of Carribean and then some

For dinner we decided to go to a Carribean Restaurant called Caribbean Kitchen on 34th Street. This made us look forward to our Caribbean trip a few weeks from now. The food was good as usual. We are not new to this place anyway because, Frank takes out food sometimes on Friday nights. Dessert was […]

Shopping at Costco

Today, we were off to an early start. Sundays for us are usually idle but since we haven’t been to Costco for a long time, I urged Frank that we go shopping today. And Costco shopping usually means at least 2 hours. I just like to browse, and go from aisle to aisle because there […]
