Washington, D.C.

By Eliot, on September 14th, 2019

Over Labor Day weekend, we traveled to our Nation’s capitol. This was my fourth trip and The Hubs’ first. One of my greatest trips ever was when I was twenty-three and accompanied mom to D.C. where she had a conference. I was left to my own devices and wandered all the art museums and galleries . . . → Read More: Washington, D.C.

“In My Kitchen” August 2019

By Eliot, on August 3rd, 2019

Good gravy! Where is the summer going?

So, here’s what was new in my July kitchen!

I made some mulled blackberry vinegar and after letting it set on the cabinet for four weeks, I finished processing it. I strained it and was left with a delicious smelling pulp, full of blackberries macerated in warming spices. . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” August 2019

A Very Berry Good Time

By Eliot, on June 30th, 2019

Summers are always hectic and it’s been a while since we went berry picking. Strawberries were numero uno on my list this summer but, alas, strawberry season came and went without us picking any (but the few meager ones from our own bed).

I was determined to not miss the rest of the berry seasons.
