The New England Wintertime Food Tour…

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.

Local Loves: Saltitude Himalayan Salt Cave

When a co-worker recently mentioned participating in a relaxing meditation session within a Himalayan Salt Cave in Rhode Island, I was naturally and obviously intrigued.

Flu Fighting, Christmas Lights, and Gingerbread…

It’s been a few years since I’ve had a take-down, cancel all plans, stay-in-bed-all-day type of cold that results in me calling out of work and leaving both my text messages and e-mails on “unread” for any significant amount of time – but here we are! I’m finally on the other side of what was […]

Local Loves: HOTFIRE Bar and Grill

I adore Shelburne Falls. It’s a place I’ve written about frequently here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ since it’s only about 20 minutes away from my apartment and it’s a picturesque little village with a lot to do and see – even with it’s main attraction, the famed Bridge of Flowers, currently undergoing some long overdue […]
