unruly things

Jennifer A. posted an article on - Aug 1, 2010, 11:21 am
Ladies and gents, I apologize for the silence here. I’m a bit indisposed, having suffered a minor back injury. And, when I mustered up the energy this morning to type through the pain, hoping to post photographs of our recent staycation in honor of Mr.Mr.’s birthday, our unruly computer ...

a taste / organic sauvignon blanc

Jennifer A. posted an article on - Jul 15, 2010, 8:59 pm
Tonight, at a time just shy of sundown, I realized that I’ve stowed this white wine in the refrigerator for long enough. I bought this sauvignon blanc a month or so ago (dare I say it was longer?) while also on the hunt for craft beers to sample during a Saturday night spent “in” ...

When you love a bartender… When you live with a bartender… When you share a bed with a bartender…there are nights, or very early mornings rather, that he may wake you up. You may already be somewhat awake as the click of his keys in the door has a rousing effect of its own. At f...

just summer / dark cherry white sangria

Jennifer A. posted an article on - Jul 9, 2010, 12:00 am
What memories stand out most from the summers of your childhood? Most of my own existed in Northern California. Soon after school let out, I’d separate from my sister and brother to visit my Dad in California. I, the only child from my Lady’s first marriage, flew on my own across the c...

poor girl gourmet

Jennifer A. posted an article on - Jun 9, 2010, 11:43 pm
Despite my schedule being fully stocked, adoringly so, I notice my pace slowing. Sandals. Sunglasses. Sidewalks crowded with strolling companions. Blossoms on the breeze. All contribute. The hectic rush of winter, to reach warm interiors, has halted. With sun shining upon the nooks and crannies o...

just wine

Jennifer A. posted an article on - Jun 4, 2010, 12:50 am
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted wine notes. Why the neglect, you may wonder? Honestly, I lacked inspiration to explore. I felt as if I’d already posted my way through all of the organic selections arranged on the shelves of those shops closest to home. And, wintery hiberna...

During the years that I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve hinted that I’d like to write more about being a bartender’s lady. Although I’ve started this work many times, sometimes existing amid the lifestyle makes writing about it difficult. It just isn’t healthy for...

Coconut water. Green tea. Black tea. Red tea. All with honey. Spring water dressed with lemon wedges. Oatmeal with brown sugar and peanut butter swirls. Leafy greens. Wheat English muffins. Scrambled eggs. Creamy cheese. Strawberries. English cucumbers. Avocados. My cravings, in brief. This yoga c...

May I tell you the tale of a village by the sea? In this village… They speak a maritime language. Mumble amongst themselves about boats, treks upon a vast ocean, tides, high and low. Schedule daily goings on around a season’s launch. If you are an outsider, of what they speak may ...

The detox month is moving along splendidly. Mr.Mr. and I are making our way through projects both on the work-front and at home. Last night, I even signed up for a hot yoga challenge of 31 classes in the 31 days of May. Yowza! Yes, yes, technically our month, actually five weeks, ends next weekend&...

In the city, there are many passersby that may bear witness to your daily goings on—no matter how slight. In my case, there are fellow yogis who join me in twisting sleep from muscles, while we sweat out the break of early morning in unison. On mornings when my milk supply has run dry, there&#...

Hello, luvs. Do you ever spend a morning mindful of a plan only to have it crumble with earnest in front of your tired eyes? I had that sorta A.M. yesterday. Though my French press glistened a welcoming yawn in the morning haze of our kitchen, I couldn’t stomach java. Instead, I craved a dirt...

First, I am sending out a hearty THANKS! to all of you who left comments for the recipe cards giveaway. I think I may speak for both of us when I share that Lisa Orgler and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your responses. Lisa, the kind-hearted and generous lady that she is, selected not just one, but ...

Sleep late, and you’ll miss them. This sentiment holds mightily true when addressing the cherry blossoms that flourish in front of our building, for a single, brief week, each spring. They appear out of nowhere, it seems. One day green leaves glisten hopeful color. Then, snap!, just like ...

I usually don’t host giveaways. When the lovely artist, Lisa Orgler, who designed the header for Palate-to-Pen, inquired about my hosting her giveaway, I could not resist. I initially discovered her artwork and blog, The Lunch Box Project, through Foodbuzz and instantly was smitten. Soon there...

Once a year, Mr.Mr. and I take a month off from imbibing. That month, my friends, is upon us. We’re straying from wine, beer and spirits in order to save moolah, lose wintery weight gain and focus on readying the boat and ourselves for the sunnier seasons ahead. I’ve signed up for a...

Mr.Mr. and I have been together for just shy of six years. Despite knowing each other pretty darn well, every so often we’re able to snag one another off-guard. We share dainty mementos to pull us out of the daily goings-on that command. Sometimes it’s a sticky note scrawled with the fir...

Awhile back, on January 8, to be exact, Meg Houston Maker, Executive Editor of Palate Press, and I were conversing over Twitter about her mesmerizing two-part feature, “A Trip to the Rhone” being mentioned in The New York Times. Just as I was typing my Congrats! to her, she spun the ...

Oh yes, I doubled up on chocolate deliciousness. I went there. Pan au chocolat. Café mocha. And, afterward, Bates sprinkled my wake with laughter as I made way over to the counter once more to sate my Libran need for balance with a smidgen of salty chips. I simply could not resist. I was having one...

Today is a fine day for a spot of Irish Whiskey, don’t you agree? Fortunately, last Wednesday, I learned much about this spirit with fellow bloggers and a dear friend during a tasting of Bushmills whiskeys with Master Distiller, Colum Egan. As mid-week diners fluted conversations throughout a ...
