Saturday Short Run

March 10, 2012

Last night was epic. It started with tears – Parting gifts from my team. I said farewell to my team, sent a sappy email and hit the highroad. And by highroad I mean Iron Horse Bar. There was lots of laughter. Joking. Beer. You know, the usual shenanigans. After the party dispersed, Liz and I [...]

Foodie Friday – Wine Edition

January 7, 2012

Foodie Friday is back…(ish) So it’s not really a recipe as Foodie Friday should be. But it is a great glass of wine, a great quick meal thanks to Trader Joe’s and an amazing end to a slightly stressful week. Sometimes you just need to chill. I’ll finish that bottle of my favorite wine tomorrow [...]
