Every Monday night, my husband and I enjoy a quiet dinner for two, even though we have four children. As he has a late meeting and Monday is my busy day at the office, we dine around 8:30 or 9:00. While it means waiting to eat, it is well worth it for candlelight and conversation for two.
For our special dinner, we usually try to choose a theme, whether it be based on a certain ingredient, an ethnicity, or style of cooking. A few weeks ago, we decided to make an assortment of Thai dishes. I have not done much Thai

Beer Review: Dogfish Head, Chicory Stout

This week I’m going to talk a little bit about wine and Dan Aykroyd. Up until recently these two things probably had nothing in common, that is until Dan Aykroyd opened up his own vineyard and decided to give winemaking a try. Last Tuesday, the 24th, I had the opportunity to meet him and sample a bit of his new concoction.
