At a friend’s party last week, I was discussing how- when on vacation- all I’m interested in is eating. While I can appreciate a good ruin like the next chick, my main focus is on where and when I’m going to eat. Whole trips have been planned around food. So, I thought I would share…

Cannolis: Three Different (Delicious) Varieties
Christmastime makes me think of NYC’s Little Italy, for some reason. Little Italy makes me think of Italian cookies and cannolis. Don’t ask me why all of these tie together in my memory. I, for one, am not Italian. We didn’t spend a lot of time in Little Italy, and cannolis weren’t a big thing…
