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.

Busy and Booked…

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 […]

It’s the perfect time of year for outdoor activities and get togethers here in […]

A Little Hocus Pocus…

With a long weekend trip to Maryland planned at the end of this month to meet up with Andrew and the kids for the first time in what feels like forever, I’ve been crafting and customizing little gift bags for each of them – as is my tradition whenever we all get to spend time […]

An Afternoon in Chester…

I had a feeling that my last full weekend of Summer of 2024 in New England (September 1st is the beginning of Fall for me, and no one can convince me otherwise!) before I head out to the West Coast in a few days would be met by ominous clouds and the occasional downpour. It’s […]
