I mentioned in an earlier post that I was never expecting to fall in love with Miami during our travels there this past spring, but fall in love with it I did. The moment that kicked my excitement into high gear can be pinpointed back to when we made it onto the Julia Tuttle Causeway,…

Boqueria’s sangría de vino rosado, or: what I did with my summer produce, drinks edition.
Not long after we moved to Stamford from New York, I planned to do this whole tapas crawl around Manhattan, and as I’ve implied in this post over at Maps of Fun, it was kind of a disaster because, like, half of the places we went to either were not open until later in the…
Moscow Muled x The Manhattan [food] Project, and the Moscow via Mexico City Mule
Full disclosure: Moscow Muled provided two copper mugs for review. All opinions are my own.

Often I’ll kind of go to the beat of my own drum, but lately I’ve…

Entering a whole new world of infusions, part I: lemon-lemongrass (vodka) drink.
Thanks to the lasting influence of Good Eats, we really make a point of not trying to buy unitasker gadgets for the kitchen. Admittedly, I’m a bit more susceptible to doing this than Michael, but I usually see it as a challenge to explore other ways of using something. (On a related note, definitely watch…
