Recipes to Die For
I love Patricia Cornwell books and her crime-solving extraordinaire character, Kay Scarpetta. I have read them all and always loved how Kay was passionate about cooking, even in the midst of solving crimes of every kind.

Day Two, Part II, of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: Gingerbread Houses and African Huts
We left off Part I of yesterday’s blog after our incredible lunch at the California Grill. If you haven’t read it yet, scroll down and read it, because you will wonder, as we did, how we could even think about food again so quickly. But like the magic of Disney, it appeared and we took it […]
Day Two, Part I, of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: Mickey Awaits!
Waking up on the second day of the festival, our stomachs still full from the incredible dinner of the night before, my daughter Kristina and I heard voices through the wall in the room next door. “Wake up, kids! Mickey awaits!” we heard a mother say to her excited children. It was then we realized that it’s […]
