This one I made meself. Turkey, cheddar, red lettuce and mustard on Tomato Basil Foccacia. But the bread, that’s courtesy of Wealthy Street Bakery. Yum! The kiddo and I started off our morning errands there with a window seat and a blueberry danish. He was a terrific brunch companion. Sat […]
Grown-up Grilled Cheese
Or so the Cafe Solace menu said Two cheeses (um, provolone and I think cheddar), spinach, tomato and ham. Yum! I kind of wish I’d gotten the spanikopita, though. I LOVE SPANIKOPITA. A bigger and better selection of restaurants. Plus the new bookstore. Downtown GR just keeps getting more exciting, […]
Hey, the green showed up
I was lamenting the browness a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems that the growth has practically popped up overnight. The trees are covered in buds and still-to-fully-form leaves. Green and many, many other colors have pushed brown to the background. It’s been a lovely week and a half. […]

Can you say tummy ache?
Chocolate Raspberry Cobbler at Mezze Cafe & Cabaret (no, the spoon wasn’t dirty) I love, love, love, love, love, love dessert. So much so that it impairs my ability to lose the five pounds I put on this winter eating too much…dessert. And rich desserts DO NOT bother me. Sugary […]
Show me the green
The snow has melted and the grass is stretching itself toward the sun. Yet the dull, cool, slightly dreary feel of pre-spring is still in the air. Stalks of brown. Clumps of brown. Patches of brown. I was heartened a bit today, though, as I walked Juliette along the sidewalks […]
