Italian food just happens to be synonomous with romance in my book. So when Emily told me to come check out her family’s restaurant, Sorrento, I was chomping at the […]
COVID free-time has provided some wonderful space for reading, catching up on that list of books I’ve wanted to read but haven’t had a chance to. I recently paid a visit to my local used bookstore to snatch up any Kristin Harmel books I hadn’t read. One of the treasures I walked away with is […]
I’m a bit of a mallrat. What can I say, I like air conditioning, clean open spaces, and window shopping. OK, so maybe it’s more plans of future buying than total unpremeditated window peaking. Malls inspire me. Typically. Not crowded malls. Not Black Friday madness, but the simpliticy of a lazy afternoon browsing corridor after […]
Is the suspense killing you? Here is the resolution to my birthday rainboot journey! Day after day I checked my email. I thought Zappos would be super fast. Weren’t they shoe gods? But COVID slows everything down. No one was knocking on my apartment door to alert me of a package. I hadn’t gotten a […]

Sure, it’s cinco de Mayo, but this girl needed American red beef in her belly. After weeks of night in after night in, where did we take our foraging appetites? Goozlepipe & Guttyworks To the one and only Goozlepipe and Guttyworks Gastropub. That’s right. We headed out IN PUBLIC to Kickbacks on King Street.
Jacksonville’s very bestest seafood is Safe Harbor. They have a Jacksonville Beach and a Mayport location. Get peel and eat shrimp, tons of fresh fish, and one of their tasty sides. I heard all about this restaurant for months before I finally visited. My dad and I did a post fishing trip out to the […]
