It was an absolutely picture perfect weekend to be in New York City! Technically, this picture was taken in New Jersey, but more on that later. 🙂 I’ve decided to divide our trip into three installments, in order to capture as much of the Big Apple as possible. It was truly a jam-packed, fun-filled trip! […]

It’s Christmastime In The City
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and last night Bobby and I celebrated City Christmas! Our tree was decked out rather nicely this year, if I do say so myself. City Christmas is what I have dubbed one of the most fantastic nights of the holiday season – the one where Bobby and […]
Traveling Pans: Pansgiving
Pansgiving terminology courtesy of Mara, who has already written a fabulous recap post. The Traveling Pans were at it again Sunday night. This month’s theme: Thanksgiving! What better way to prepare for the “big feast” than with a practice feast among friends? Would you look at that turkey? I still can’t get over how perfect […]
A Mara-velous Double Date!
The last time I saw Mara was back in June when the Traveling Pans took on Chicago neighborhoods. As if that weren’t long enough, the last time Mara and I had a proper multiple location, multiple city foodie date was way back in April 2009. Clearly, we were way overdue, and this weekend we set […]

We had a fantastic time at the ceremony and the reception that followed, both at Spiaggia, a gorgeous restaurant and […]
The Great Chicago Fire
Fi-re. Fi-re. Fi-re, fi-re, fi-re. Fi-re fi-re. Fi-re fi-re. Fi-re fi-re fi-fi-re. I’ll tell you one thing about Chicago Fire fans. They never stop cheering. One of the cheers literally repeats the word fire over and over — and over — again. Of course, the diehard fans had good reason to celebrate last night. The […]
The Case Of Carmen Sandiego
I don’t know about you all, but I used to think this red-trenched lady was incredibly cool. Even if she was supposed to be the villain. I have had the “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” theme song in my head several times over the past week. I am thrilled to share that I […]
