Mad Men Lips, Cheeks and Yellow Dresses
I'm a baby boomer's child but have always said I would have loved to be a part of the 20s, 40s, and 60s. Those time periods embody such tangible and artistic characteristics that flow with my style. Needless to say men acted like gentlemen and tipped hat...

#FlanFridays: Toasted Coconut & Rum Flan

Rhubarb, Goat Cheese & Banana Stuffed Puff Pastry
This has been an epic week. I met the man-friend's mother. I never talk about the relationship I have with A, but needless to say it's a rather sensitive one. One that requires undivided attention, lots of espresso shots and some serious affection for ...
