Two by the Sea: January 2013
http://twobythesea.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. Down Under part I. In November I embarked on a three week trip to Australia as I mentioned in my last post. Mindi is a great cook and appreciates good food so I knew I was in good hands. We had a blast! View from the front door on Silver Gull Lane. Newcastle is the nearest large city. Sydney is about 2 hours away. Coal mining is the primary industry in Newcastle. We drove into Newcastle on my first day to run some errands and have lunch. My first meal in Australi...He won't eat ...

Two by the Sea: June 2014

Sunday, June 1, 2014. Kissing the Boar in Firenze. Well I mixed the first packet with some "bottled" water and kept it down until I was settled in my seat near the bathroom. That came up. I decided to forgo taking anymore until we arrived. In Florence, our hotel, the Ambasciatori. Strangeness. We used the room safe just to be safe. Vilia saw this while walking around as I slept. I would have loved to have tasted that Spaghetti w. artichokes and pork belly. Can't believe I missed this too! There were many...

Friday, August 30, 2013. Tripping around the Finger Lakes Region of NY. I just got back from a two week trip to the Greater Rochester area in New York State, which is situated near 11 Finger Lakes plus one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario. My brother's daughter, Emily came out to see me for 10 days and I accompanied her back to Rochester. Bob picked us up at the Monroe County airport and spirited us back to his beautiful home in Penfield. The warm slightly humid air felt great! My nephew Jacob showed up ...

Two by the Sea: March 2013
http://twobythesea.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. No worries, the Aussies do not just eat Vegemite they in fact eat very well thanks to a new breed of creative Chefs. Lamb is their staple, especially for Sunday dinners. It is roasted or grilled and served with pumpkin, potatoes and a green vegetable if available. Pumpkin is any winter squash in Aussie lingo. The Binnie household carries on the tradition. And the "up the gut" entertainment section. Mommy and Pat's snack. Harrison getting his "crank" on. I happened to be in Austr...

Two by the Sea: July 2013
http://twobythesea.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. Last February I traveled to Italy with my friends Vilia and Mike Wray and their daughter Nate ( think Jean Nate). Nate found a great deal for a "tour" of three cities, Rome, Florence and Venice. We added three extra days to visit Sienna and beyond. Everywhere you walk are artifacts and crumbling ruins of days gone by. This is old and full of cats. We headed back to the Mecante Palace Hotel through the primarily Asian neighborhood but the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. Tay)and th...

Rants, Raves and Witticisms: No, I mean it this time!
http://rantsravesandwitticisms.blogspot.com/2010/04/no-i-mean-it-this-time.html
Rants, Raves and Witticisms. Thursday, April 22, 2010. No, I mean it this time! As you may have read,. I got a new sister for Easter. We've both blogged about the experience and you can read Debi's account of the story here. Before I move on, I must say that I find it interesting that, while I compared the experience to getting a chocolate bunny in my Easter basket, she likened it to drinking too much tequila. Hmmmmm. At our meeting, Debi presented me with a copy of Hello, Cupcake! Oh yeah, cupcakes!

Rants, Raves and Witticisms: January 2010
http://rantsravesandwitticisms.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Rants, Raves and Witticisms. Friday, January 22, 2010. Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty. Mean people suck. Or do they? For the next few posts I am going to explore the subject of meanness. Mean bosses, mean exes, mean relatives, mean friends, etc. I’ll share some of my experiences and you can share yours. Because really, what’s more fun than exposing the jerks in our lives for who they really are? Am I a good witch or a bad witch? That was a mean simile, right? I have several theories for why this happens.

Rants, Raves and Witticisms. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Oh No She Didn't! Marie Claire Magazine sucks ass. Why, you might ask? Sit back, get comfy and grab a drink. I am good and pissed and ready to rant. This is in response to Maura Kelly’s blog post on the Marie Claire site titled, “Should “Fatties” get a room? 8221; Kelly writes,. I’m sure they believe the Gods of Good Fortune have smiled down upon them for you to set aside your disgust, and lower yourself to allow them to breathe your air. It’...
