I love being a web designer and I’m incredibly thankful that I decided to join this industry many years ago. Still, despite my love of this profession, there have been a number of times during my career when my passion has waned and I’ve found myself simply going through the motions instead of fully applying… Continue reading Coldplay – Clocks

Scotch and Soda
I know what you’re thinking: “Scotch and soda? That’s not an interesting classic cocktail. That’s a drink that anyone can make anywhere, no matter what condition you’re in. It certainly doesn’t deserve a post.” While you’re probably right, Sunday is Father’s Day. What does Father’s Day have to do with a Scotch and Soda? Well,… Continue reading Scotch and Soda
Racquet Club Cocktail
Summer has officially started and that means it’s time for swimming and lots and lots of free play. Free play could take place on the beach, at a resort or even a swim and tennis club. It doesn’t matter where it is, all that matters is that you have some time to yourself to hang… Continue reading Racquet Club Cocktail
Cherry Peach Yogurt Pops
I loved the summer when I was a kid. No, it wasn’t because school was out… okay it wasn’t just because school was out. It was actually because every summer once school was out, my mom would pull out her popsicle mold and we’d make popsicles. We made orange juice, lemonade… whatever juice my mom… Continue reading Cherry Peach Yogurt Pops
Stawberry Mousse
Strawberry season might be coming to a close, but there are still a few vendors at the farmers markets selling baskets of the beautiful red fruit which means you still have time to make this decadent dessert. I love chocolate mousse. It’s rich, easy to make and a very special treat. But sometimes I’m not… Continue reading Stawberry Mousse
Hurricane
Most of the cocktails I make are for one or two people. But every so often I need to make a pitcher because I’m having a party. See, it’s so much easier to serve people when you make a big pitcher as opposed to shaking and mixing a separate cocktail for each and every guest… Continue reading Hurricane
Smokey Bourbon Baked Beans
Memorial Day is this weekend which means that it’s officially the start of summer. But more than that it means outdoor parties and food on the grill. I love grilling all sorts of things: chicken, steaks, kabobs… But the foods that seem to be most popular this time of year are hot dogs and hamburgers.… Continue reading Smokey Bourbon Baked Beans
Grilled Lamb Chops with Cucumber Relish
My sons are picky eaters. It seems that whenever I ask A what he wants for dinner, he comes back with a very short list: pizza, chicken nuggets or hot dogs. Every so often I’ll get a request for tacos or quesadillas, but most of the time it’s the first three. So while Friday night… Continue reading Grilled Lamb Chops with Cucumber Relish
Bellini
There’s no cocktail more popular on Mother’s Day than the Mimosa, and while it’s a delicious brunch or breakfast choice, there’s a champagne cocktail I like even more. The Bellini. The Bellini is a champagne based cocktail that uses peach nectar instead of orange juice. While orange juice is much easier to come by (you… Continue reading Bellini
Chocolate Chex French Toast
As I’m sure you know, Sunday is Mother’s Day; and while it’s traditional to go out to a restaurant for brunch to celebrate, its easier and more kid friendly to make a nice breakfast at home. Maybe even serve it to Mom in bed. What can you make that’s both kid-friendly and special for Mom?… Continue reading Chocolate Chex French Toast
