The last week of April we took two of our teens on a combined work/pleasure trip to the mid-Atlantic region. With a schedule of a few meetings here, a little sightseeing there, we were able to enjoy the kids' week off from school while maintaining a relaxed business schedule. Journeying down the Atlantic coast, we made stops in Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Of course, one of our purposes for visiting Philly was to see historic sites. However, I'd be fibbing if I didn't admit that an equally as important purpose was to eat cheesesteaks at Geno's and Pat's. I know, a

During a summer trip to Baltimore, my husband and I spent one evening strolling the Inner Harbor. With a simple plan of walking and occasionally stopping for a cocktail and a snack, we found many enjoyable restaurants. Our last stop of the night was at
Charleston. Upon entering, the restaurant emanated a luxurious atmosphere. We enjoyed an hour or so in their lounge, speaking with our waitress and sampling a dish. We knew that we would need to return for a full evening of dining.
Two weeks ago we had the good fortune to travel to Baltimore on business and

My wife and I are
Food Network junkies.
It is by far the most watched channel on our television and on nights where we deem the food TV offering to be inadequate (i.e. any night that

On our first night in the Crescent City, we were able to secure an 8:30 reservation at Emeril’s. Emeril’s is located just outside

With a live animal show at our local library, the kids needed to have an early dinner last night. However, with a work meeting scheduled for 6:30, the adults needed a late dinner. So, in the interest of making dinners that pleased everyone, the kids had hot dogs while I planned a surprise meal for the adults.
Thinking about our upcoming, though delayed, honeymoon to Hawaii, I decided to make foods with that flair. When I was at the grocery store, I found a special on pork tenderloin, which became the basis for our meal. I also purchased a pineapple to

Everything has a history in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
Every building has been around since the 1800’s, and the narrow streets that now teem with tourists allow you to be transported back to the antebellum port city.
Today most of the buildings are home to restaurants, hotels, bars, and art galleries.
One of these on St. Louis Street is an exceptional place to grab breakfast,
Petunia's Restaurant.
Petunias is in the former home of Barthelemy Bacas, who was a cabinet maker in New Orleans in the mid 1800’s. Mr. Bacas’s handiwork still can be found in
