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 […]
Lunch
The “S” Word(s)
There is something so calming about being on one of the many trails in the Arizona desert. If you stop walking and listen at any moment on your hike, you will hear a glorious sound (and see a glorious sight). Silence. (And saguaros.) Maybe it’s because I live in the city, where I am surrounded […]
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
That’s the Wildcats’ battle cry! 🙂 We just returned home from an exciting day at Ryan Field. Northwestern beat the Rice University Owls 28-6! If we can hang on for two more games, we may squeak our way into a bowl game. Fingers crossed! Following our victory, Bobby and I decided to visit an old […]

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 […]
On Wisconsin + Happy Endings
Happy Fall!! Today marks the official first day of the new season which, as you know, I’m a big fan of for its cooler weather, delicious food and FOOTBALL. That said, it was a rather exciting final few days of summer. I’m glad you all enjoyed my lighthearted post on being scared out of my […]
