Our trip did not start out quite like I had hoped! How many times have you heard that? We got delayed in Boston and were told we were going to miss our connecting flight in Montreal. They offered another flight on another airline but declined. We thought we would take our chances. We were THIS close to making our connection, we got to our gate … Continue reading Eating Greece & travel days
Firstly Happy Valentine’s Day -I hope everyone had or is having a nice day! So my vacation was amazing even though I had a sore throat for most of it and ended up coming home with strep throat; never had that before and it sucked! I would do it all again, minus the throat issue. My job on the boat was galley cook; I … Continue reading Banana’s Foster Buckle
I am currently sitting next to the Caribbean sea. The wind is blowing the sun is shining and we are getting ready to head out on one of the biggest adventures I think I have ever been on. Sailing on a 39’ catamaran with another couple and we are the captain and crew. Only one of us has actually sailed a boat so wish us … Continue reading Beef Jerky
My daughter has been home for a month now, while she was in Japan she and a few of her expat friends started a weekly meal from another country. One of the first things she did when she got home was declared she wanted to continue this tradition here at home. I personally thought it was a great idea. I will admit that my initial … Continue reading Individual Chocolate Chip Cookie

Last week I mentioned I wanted to travel light so I left my laptop at home. Well that would have all worked out fine and dandy had the airline Alitalia not understood the concept of … Continue reading Italian Bruschetta – Florence Cooking Class
A couple of weekends ago my husband and I met up with friends of ours in Montreal for a nice long weekend. It had been many years since we have been to Canada and now that we went; I’m not sure why it has been so long, what a great city. Always something going on; so I was told; they have the most festivals. Well … Continue reading Easy Pasta Salad – Montreal Farmers Market

Thought it was pretty comical I had no problem blogging from Cancun Mexico but Northern Maine not going to happen. I was told the next time I go up there will be. I am sure if I tried a … Continue reading Sometimes the best food comes from unexpected places
So my husband and I spent 5 wonderful days in Cancun for my birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary this last week. We love heading south whenever we can; Mexico is not usually on our radar ever since our first visit in 1989; however a couple of years ago we were desperate to get away and money was tight. We don’t usually look for all-inclusive … Continue reading California Rolls in Cancun

Cheshire, Hopkinton, New Boston, Deerfield and the mother of all fairs the Big E – Eastern States Fair. I have very fond memories of going to all of these, actually looking forward to going and making sure I knew what days the fairs … Continue reading Celtic Fest: Bethlehem PA.
