February 28, 2012

How many of you have seen that commercial with the lady trying to go home in someone else’s Bentley? You know the one, where she’s chatting about little baby quails and “an-deev” salads while her poor husband follows along like a dazed lost puppy. Well guess what, she was right. The Bentley wasn’t hers of […]

Surf & Turf ¦ Rum BBQ Kabobs

Girl Hunter Georgia Pellegrini-Moroccan Stew

December 16, 2011

When I was very young, before we moved to the beach my dad used to go hunting. My most vivid memory is when he came into my room once during the wee hours of the morning. Kissing me goodbye before he headed out with the guys. Mumbling through sleepy yawns, as I snuggled my Pookie […]
