New Year’s Eve Potluck Party
I’m convinced the best place to celebrate New Year’s Eve is at home. I like to avoid places that involve expensive tickets and lengthy lines for drinks or food.  I also like to avoid being on the roads; it is, after all, a notoriously dangerous night.

Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini
One of my fondest and most clear memories of the holidays during my childhood are those boxes of chocolate-covered cherries. I’m sure you’ve seen them.  They are small cherries, surrounded by chocolate, filled with some sort of thick syrup that sends children into instant sugar-hyper-mode. As a child, I would eat a box in one sitting and then not sleep for two days. Now that I’m an adult, I prefer to take in those flavors in a sligh... Read More ›

Meyer Lemon Hot Toddy
I recently returned from a trip to sunny Florida where a sweet friend of mine handed me a bag of Meyer lemons. Um, what am I supposed to do with these again? Me: "Thanks! Who's Meyer and when did he gives you his lemons?" Her: "Meyer's not a person. Well, I mean he is. He's an agricultural explorer from 1908, but it doesn't matter. These lemons are awesome!" Me: "So what makes it a Meyer lemon? Should I be nervous?" Her: "Ha! It's a... Read More ›
