drink2that: a TOAST to 2014


Cheers to another year, with its ups and downs, its ins and outs, its savories and sweets.

It may seem like I eat far more than I drink (there is a reason for this, it’s because I do), but somehow, this year I have managed to indulge in some sumptuous sips out and about, on the West Coast, and closer to home.

There was a decadent milkshake at Lori’s Diner and strong and spicy cocktails at Flea Street in California, while carefully curated wine at Wine Spot and La Nonna warmed. Fancy, sophisticated and colorful concoctions at Bea, Left Bank Burger, Union Bar and Kitchen, and Fig & Olive made dinners and dates come alive. Tart, tangy and fresh drinks at Marco and Pepe, GP’s and Hog Island Oyster Bar tasted like the seasons. Parties and events, intimate gatherings and home conversations were backdrops for tasty libations. Brunchy drinks at Park & Sixth Gastropub and exceptional coffee from Little Collins were perfect starts. It was a pretty delicious year—I’d drink to that!

It’s practically 2015! Thank you for support in following foodie ventures on facebook, instagram, twitter, and yelp! Let’s make the coming year even bigger, better and more flavorful!

re. CAP: CHRISTMAStime


RER 12.24.14
Christmas has come and gone, but the flavors still hang heavy in the air as our perfect little tree stands tall, Christmas dinner leftovers morph into delicious sandwiches, and cookie crumbs continuously dust our lips. It has been a super tasty holiday with new cookie recipes (1, 2, and 3) to add to our list and batches of sugar cookies for my Food Fun kiddies, family holiday gatherings and butter bake-a-thons, and a smattering of sprinkles.
