A Dining Do and a Dating Don't

I was on a date at a raw bar over the weekend. During dinner another man caught my eye and I knew I had to meet him. My date handled it very well when I got up to introduce myself to the mystery man. Read More

Sunday Sundae

I decided that I would make today a Sundae Sunday. I had a fairly large breakfast from my favorite local breakfast place but was left with a feeling of wanting something more… like a sundae. Read More

Crouton Pity Party

When my salad arrived I made a few perfect bites by shuffling through the greens and combining the best ingredients. I pushed the red onion (I was on a date) and croutons to the side and then I caught a crouton staring at me. He seemed saddened.
