Seriously, Food Network is going to be at the receiving end of a Come to Jesus chat from my wallet. Between the Le Creuset, Vietri, Emile Henry, etc. that I lust after and adore, my wallet is ready to smack me to high heaven. I mean, if you add up what this gal can spend in a year on just kitchen stuff and culinary exploits – well, we’re talking about a pair of Loubous – maybe more. A year {Read More}

This year I was fortunate enough to take a quick jaunt to the sunny shores of South Beach to check out the Food Network’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival. First of all, this was held ON the beach – and when I say ON the beach, it was right there on the gorgeous white sands with a backdrop of the gorgeous blue ocean.

Tomorrow I’m headed down to sunny South Beach for the 2009 Food Network’s South Beach Food & Wine Festival. Granted, I’m crazy tired from the daily grind but when a gal hears that some of her fave personalities (and bloggers) will be in the area, well then – one needs {Read More}
