I am transported back to the Bahamas every time I think of an aperitif or cocktail inspired by champagne.

After three meals of rice and vegetables, I have slowly recovered from the treacherous Babe's Chicken night.

What is it about figs, chocolate, and wine?

Crackers are my new friend. I love to make them, love to eat them, and love to share the simplicity of it all with you.

I know I'm not the only girl traveling with her husband's 'hand-me-down' headphones. I'm sorry, but seriously. Are these not the cutest headphones EVER?! Who needs a pearl necklace, or Turqoise belt for that matter?

Last night I had a dream of Ina Garten. We were friends. I am not kidding. That was my dream, it was so great.
She had me over for dinner and she seemed a little worn out, and I was a bit defensive for her, like you would be for any girlfriend that is over worked.

As I was writing this story, I realized I had posted on Jambalaya once before. That is bad. I would have made something else, but it is Mardi Gras Season and Trevor is fiending for Cajun cooking lately.
