I recently started thinking of tropical drinks and food items as summer is just around the bend, I am way into spring fever to the point of no return, and I am going to Cabos in a few weeks. I can almost taste the Mexican foods and drinks. I thought of one of my favorite drinks, [...]

I recently received a container of Bakewell Cream from New England Cupboard which is a company from Maine. This company has an owner that is an absolute joy to deal with. They have an assortment of high quality products for baking and cooking. I will be baking and posting reviews of some more of their [...]

Here is a delicious beverage that would be a hit at any time of the day (though I would find it hard to swallow this at breakfast). I learned of this from a friend, Kristen, who just happened to invent this. It sounds like a nice fall drink, but I think it’s a go any [...]

Today was a great day in New England. The sun was shining, the air was brisk, the foliage was still somewhat colorful, and gas prices were down. I decided to start my visits to local wineries. My first wine tasting excursion was to Hardwick Vineyard and Winery located in Hardwick, MA where they were having [...]

I love tea. In fact, when I see different foods I always ponder how they would be with a cup of tea, black tea. I have some favorites that I always have on hand. I tend to enjoy the British teas, both regular and decaf. I usually drink decaf tea most of the day but [...]
