Something in my universe realigns itself when those first September winds bring those soft whispers of fall promises along with those first bites of cinnamon and spices snugly baked into apple cider donuts. I am most alive and in tune with myself and my world at this time of year. Everything I see around me…
Boston’s South End neighborhood…peeling back the diverse layers, because there are many
Patrick and I were sitting snugly in our two antique rocking chairs on our front porch last weekend sipping our strong dark roast coffee with thick cream stirred in and whipped foam resting on top. We sipped slowly on our favorite brew…rocked a bit more…sipped a bit more. Sometimes, we’ll milk that coffee…
A Country Life…A City Life?…Cooking our way in a New Hampshire farmhouse and eating our way through Boston’s Fenway neighborhood
I’m sitting at my long narrow wooden kitchen table marveling out of the back patio window at three years worth thus far of trials and tribulations of gardening. The trumpet vine I planted in the corner of the porch is thriving now; I’ve carefully strung it along the porch roof. The delicate and…
Boston’s Chinatown…an array of fabulous sights, sounds, and smells and our own Asian inspired dish of Shiratake Noodles with Grilled Shrimp

We’ve been going back and…
New York City, Chelsea Market, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens…It’s Spring! Time to come out of hybernation
It is just possible that all of us here in upper New England are going to have to start pretending that it is spring. One day it is…the next day we have freezing rain…then sleet…then I’m planting my daffodil bulbs and eyeing the garden boxes…then back to a few inches of snow…rinse and repeat….
Smoked Salmon & Herbed Goat Cheese Quiche…to celebrate one 24 hour spring day!
That’s right. Approximately one and a half weeks ago, there was one day of a full 8-10 hours when New England basked in a balmy high of 70 degrees IN FEBRUARY! We happened to be in Boston that week and had the fortunate experience to see the harbor front piers of the city absolutely come…
