I had barely unpacked from my trip to Europe when I got a call from Miami. Exchanging linen for wool, shorts for pants, I recharged my suitcase and left the snowy banks of Kansas City for the tanned shores of Florida. It was 5 degrees when my pasty white legs left the ground at 6 […]

review: stuck between mouse ears and thrill rides…
Porcini Mushroom Pappardelle Primo, Orlando, Florida What’s in Orlando? I’m stuck – car-less – at a conference on the (in)famous International Drive – the ark of chain restaurants: two of each kind. Where. To. Eat? Managing to escape for a couple of meals on my own, I took refuge at the Grand Lakes Resort. It’s […]

review: amidst the swaying palms…
I just wrapped up three days of great eating in Miami. I have to admit to a bit of whining and anxiety about the food scene in Miami (all, admittedly, prejudice) – but, I have to say that I was pretty impressed by what I experienced. Here is what I managed to squeeze into my […]
