Pokey’s a Year Older
My mother-in-law surprised Pokey with a “girl in a bikini” birthday cake for his birthday. He didn’t see it coming, but we all knew :).

Buca di Beppo – Las Vegas, NV
Since today is my birthday I thought I’d kind of focus the restaurant around my favorite type of food. I absolutely LOVE Italian Cuisine. Pasta, love it. Bread, love it. Sadly it loves me too and as I’m getting older I’ve noticed my metabolism getting WORSE. Come back my 20-year-old Metabolism! Anyway besides the point!…

Grand Lux Cafe – Las Vegas, NV
While we were out in Vegas, we looked for Emeril’s restaurant. Long story short, I will NEVER go to that Sports bar to eat, ever. I had a horrible experience. If you’d like I’d be more than happy to share my experience, but if not, I won’t bore you! So we left there (without eating)…

Milo’s Cellar – Boulder City, NV
Recently my husband and I went to Las Vegas for a short getaway. He’d never been and the last time I was out there I was 20, 2 months before I turned 21. Truthfully, it was about the same time of year even almost down to the weekend, but not quite. In 2003 I was…

Canning/Freezing Cherries
It is the time of year that Cherry trees are blossoming and bearing their fruit! Oh yum. My favorite thing to do is just eat the cherries straight off the tree, but come January when I want cherries that isn’t an option. The next best thing? Freezing them! 1. You have to pit the cherries….
