An Intimate Lunch For Two

As we told you about a few weeks ago, Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is having a Facebook promotion - become a friend of the restaurant on Facebook and you can get a glass of wine or sangria for free. Free booze and food will always draw me in, so I friended them, as [...]

Dinner Date With Laura and My Dad

My dad wanted to take “the girl that writes the blog” out to dinner one night during his vacation, and I was more than happy to set that dinner date up. Laura and I met up with my dad at Murphy’s first for a beer (if you dine with Bill, you need to meet [...]

All You Can Eat Meat Leaves Me Ill
