Where to Eat in West Virginia: Farmer’s Daughter
Crazy but true: We’ve been here at our West Virginia corona cabin for a year now. And it has been great. A real respite from our hectic city lives. But the fact is, we don’t get out much. We are pretty isolated, and due to COVID, we have not gone to many restaurants, bars, or…

A List of Distractions: Things to Buy, Eat, Watch and Listen To
We have a friend who is a bit under the weather and is stuck in a hospital bed for the foreseeable future. Which just totally sucks. I mean, on the one hand: laying around just watching endless episodes of “Fixer Upper” is totally my jam. But on the other hand: there’s only like, five seasons…

Hotel Crashing: 4 Other Places We Stayed in Sri Lanka
Because I really cannot top our stay (and odd massage experience) at the Signature Amaya Kandalama, I’m condensing (ha!) the rest of our hotel accommodations in Sri Lanka into this one little (ok, NOT little) post. Most of them were one-nighters anyway, with the exception of the beach house in Unwatana. But they each had…

A Dayquil-Induced Rant Against Pretentious Food Porn Magazines (Mainly, Saveur)
I was deathly ill last week. I was fairly certain it was the summer plague or typhoid. I’m not sure. My guess was walking pneumonia, but I’ll admit I tend to be a bit dramatic on these issues sometimes. It started with a sore throat, some harmless coughing. Then, over the course of the next…

Cracking the Oyster Cracker Code
Yes, we went to London weeks ago, and yes, we’ve been back for a couple of weeks now, and yes, I owe the world some posts about the Ab Fab time we had. But to misquote Kanye, “Yo, London, I’m really happy for you, I’ma let you finish, but….” (Sidenote: I had to bookmark this Wikisite…

Pinxto Paradise: 5 Pinxto Bars in San Sebastian
I love San Sebastian. I fell for it hard on our first trip there in 2012 and I’m still enamored. I legitimately want to buy an apartment there. I’m not exactly in a position to do so just yet but a girl sure can dream. So what do I love about San Sebastian? Oh, just…

Mini Meals: 5 Pinxto Bars in Bilbao
I might have mentioned that on our recent trip to northern Spain we ate all the pinxtos. You might have thought that was an exaggeration. I assure you. It was not. We really did eat pinxtos from morning till night. There’s just something about those little appetizer-sized wonders that I just adore. Maybe it’s all…
