Sette Again and an Express Massage!

It’s Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad it’s almost the weekend. It’s been a bit of a tough week so I’m ready for the weekend and a brand new week to start.

On Tuesday Tammy, Christina, and I met for our July 14th Street Eating Tour dinner. It was the first time we dined since Miki left us for Denver. 🙁 We made sure to send her a photo of us at our restaurant of choice, Sette Osteria. You may remember while we have dined here before, this is where the birthday girl, Tammy, wanted to eat this month. [Read more…]

Good morning!

Their adorable girl, Bella, is 2.5.  It was a great evening! [Read more…]

Mint Recipes

So we have a LOT of mint growing in our front yard, and I mean a lot. So, I have been trying to take advantage of the delicious smelling and tasting plant at my disposal , which up until now, means putting several leaves in my regular batches of homemade sun tea. I got to thinking what are some other things I could make with mint and it turns out there are a lot! [Read more…]

Totally Maine – 1 of 2

Hi everyone, I’m back after a wonderful family vacation in Maine! Before I forget, shoutout to my sista-in-law, Christy, for this post’s name. She remarked that something was “totally Maine” at dinner one night and I loved it and thought it was appropos for a post name. [Read more…]
