I don’t make a habit of reviewing restaurants, as I leave that to the real critics out there, but today I, along with some of my co-workers were invited to the Liffey for lunch, to sample some of the new menu items. I find a reason to eat at The Liffey whenever possible….but that is … Continue reading A menu tasting………at The Liffey Irish Pub
Greetings beer lovers! This month’s special brew is Summit’s Horizon Red Ale.

Wow. Another year is in the books……or is that “on the books”? Either way, I can hardly believe it! My Mom always said, “don’t wish time away, because once you’re old, you’ll be wishing it would slow down”. I hate to say it, but she was so right. About that anyway….. The Holidays are tough … Continue reading Happy New Year!
So my last living grandmother died this past weekend. Yes, I am sad, sad for her loss, sad for my Dad, sad for her partner of many years, Evan. But mostly sad that I didn’t know her better. My parents divorced when I was five, then for most of my childhood I didn’t see much … Continue reading Life is like sauce……
Tonight was carpet picnic night. Many years back, Mark & I started doing a dinner where the main “dish” was a wheel of gooey melted Brie cheese.
