Watcho the Camacho
There is nothing like waking up in the morning to a wonderfully, home cooked breakfast. I’m not usually a bed and breakfast fan - typically the bed(room)s are too Victorian and the breakfast is an awkward event of eating in a common room with complete strangers. While I would say that eating with complete strangers [...]

First of all, thank you so much for all the recommendations of places to visit in the Napa/Sonoma area. Although we could not visit them all, we did hit several and we had a great time!
Going to wine country can be daunting with so many wineries to choose from. We had been to the Napa [...]

Just a quick shout out to my friend Ed. Thought he would like to know there is a mojito in Sonoma named after him!

We spent a long weekend in California last week - visiting both San Francisco and the Napa Valley area. It was a much needed respite and a great time with friends.
Our first day was spent in San Francisco and, while I had hoped to do a little more sightseeing, the day got away from me [...]

After a stint away from the Twin Cities, I am back! I do have a lot of posts to write about my recent trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley…those are to come.
While I was gone, a new restaurant opened on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Salut Bar Americain opened in the spot where Sydney’s [...]

There is something about brick oven pizza…I love how the crust is so crisp and a little blackened and how the cheese is meltingly rich. The toppings with a brick oven pizza stay crisp, allowing each flavor to come through and stand out among the crust and cheese. That is, of course, only if the [...]

I wish I could say that it’s officially summer and that is why I’ve been craving ice cream, but I think we all know that that is just not the truth. The fact is that I want it to be summer so badly that all I can think of is ice cream. So on a [...]

Last Saturday night Kyle and I decided to stay in. A good meal, a bottle of wine and a few games of Cribbage was on order for the night. Okay, I’ll admit it…I lost a few games to Kyle. I don’t like to admit it, but I did. However, this is highly unusual to “beat [...]

I’m looking forward to an upcoming trip to the Napa Valley area…can’t wait for some good food and some good wine! I’m dreaming of a time not so long ago when I was lounging at Bouza Winery in Uruguay. Ahhh, the memories!
We’ve been to the Napa area one time before and loved it. Our favorite [...]

Yikes! That does sound like an odd name for a post, but look at the picture…it’s a Big Papa Pickle, what can I say? You might be wondering where I acquired such a big pickle and that, my friend, is a fine story indeed.
Kyle went to Chicago awhile back and decided that he needed to [...]
