Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
Beer, festivals, and more beer, oh my! As much as I enjoy my snowy Wisconsin winters, summertime in Milwaukee just can't be beat. I took a quick trip home last weekend to see family and friends, sip some new brews, and of course, take in as much of what the city has to offer as... Continue Reading →
#natalies365photoproject Last year on my birthday (when I turned the big 3-0), I embarked on a year-long journey of taking one photo every day for the entire year. This wasn't my first go-around with a 365 photo project; I did one when I first moved to New Jersey and started it on my 25th birthday.... Continue Reading →
* * * Connor: What would you like to do this weekend? Me: Hmm...well, we've talked about going to Asbury Park... Connor: Let's do it! Who goes to the beach in the middle of February, you ask?

When we last left our heroes, they were fiercely tasting, comparing, and enjoying two of their favorite pumpkin ales only to discover that the one they least expected to prevail, in fact, did! Now...they're at it again! Except this time, the pumpkin beer tasting... Continue Reading →
Shrimp with lemon-saffron rice. Sounds yummy, no? Actually, it was the photo that sucked me in. What can I say—I'm a very visual person. I was paging through my January issue of Cooking Light, ripping things out left and right (it was a great issue!) when I came across this recipe filed under 'Super Fast!... Continue Reading →
I don't recall ever being a foodie (I'm from Wisconsin, after all), but since moving to the East Coast, not only have I become a foodie; I've turned into a bit of a food snob (and I mean that in the most positive, self-proclaiming way). Between being in Wisconsin two weeks ago and New York... Continue Reading →
