I would not consider myself the quintessential foodie, especially when compared to some of my other friends here in London. However, just about every week I do try to find someone to drag along to a new restaurant, and luckily there are plenty of choices. One that’s been on my “to do” list for ages …
Getting back into the swing of things here in London is harder than I thought. I tend to romanticize things, though, and underestimate things like re-acclimating, imaging myself as never having “un-acclimated” in the first place. When people in the US asked me how I liked life in London, what with the crowds of people, …
I can’t believe I wrote about Borough Market way back when I started my blog– it was so different back then! Because I didn’t cover it anywhere near adequately two years ago, I have decided it is high time to give it the credit it is due with a full post about it! Borough Market …
My favorite, favorite time of day is breakfast time. With any luck, I’ll have been up working for a few hours already (can I get a YEAH for those who are most productive in the early morning!?) and have a few mugs of coffee in me, which makes me all the more ready for some …
One of the traditions my mom and I have when I come home to visit is to drive about partway through the state to Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard, a small, new winery near Charlottesville. Not only is the drive absolutely breathtaking as you drive out of the city and into the mountains, the food …
There’s nothing better than great girlfriends, especially when you’re really stressed out over an international move. That’s right, I’m moving back to London in six weeks! OK, now that the BIG announcement I promised is out of the way, back to the topic at hand. When the going gets tough, or not even tough, just …
It never rains in Denver. Like, literally, ever. So it was definitely bad luck when our plans to spend a sun drenched afternoon at a roof tap bar were rained out. However, no outing in our group of friends is without a Plan B. Ours was a very successful trip to the Denver Beer Company, …
I’ve been holding out on you guys. Don’t be mad! Like anything good, I tend to savor it off in a corner for a while and then explode with the news that I’ve found the BEST. THING. EVER. At least you know I give it a full vetting process before talking about it. D Bar …
If you speak any Spanish and are offended by the title of this post, don’t be! It’s a restaurant, so take up the naughty name choice with them! If you don’t speak Spanish but are intrigued, you can check out Urban Dictionary to see what I mean. ANYWAY, yesterday was a big day as a …
One of my favorite happy hours in Denver can be found at Lime XS, which serves generously strong margaritas for $5 until 6pm. Coupled with free salsa and fluffy chips (yes, I do mean fluffy- well, really, deep fried but I try to focus on the fact that they’re fluffy and crispy rather than the fact …
