January is one of those months that, year after year, always feels like it takes a lifetime to get through. I’ve seen a lot of memes on social media in recent days that are in the style of “it’s only January 45th!” that crack me up, and make me feel a little better since I […]
To say I’m still recovering from this past weekend would be an understatement. While I wasn’t out drinking or dancing until the early morning hours, I was still traveling all around the Northeast to enjoy a couple of belated-birthday celebrations that consisted of some of the best food I’ve ever in my life.

I’m sure in all the years I’ve been posting on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘, I’ve talked about or at the very least mentioned in passing how busy the month of January is and has been for me for as long as I can remember. Any holiday get-togethers and gift exchanges that I couldn’t get around to […]
