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

What's nicer than a lazy Saturday morning followed by an afternoon of shopping? One, getting to spend that sort of day with my husband (who is a very good shopper). Two, having an excellent breakfast made for you by someone else. Lucky me, I had a Saturday with all of these pieces recently.
After a slow start sort of morning, we decided to head to Salem to do some shopping. Not regular diners in that area, I did a little online searching and found decent reviews for Maddie's Bagel & Eatery. There was one warning- we could wait a bit to

Winter is fading in New England, but the days still can be cold, so my season of soup making is not done yet. However, as soup season has been in place for several months, I was ready to try something new last week.
My husband suggested making a soup with an Asian flair, and thus, Hot & Sour Soup was created. Although not quite something the kids wanted, it was a perfect soup for the two of us.
With different kid-dinners planned, we were free to add exotic ingredients that would be considered repulsive by our younger diners. While tofu, chicken, and

This past Saturday, my husband and I decided to head to Salem, NH, to do some shopping. Heading out later in the morning, we planned to try a restaurant new to us for breakfast before heading to the mall. (The review of this great eatery will be posted in the next day or two.)
As we pulled into the strip mall where our breakfast destination was located, my husband spotted a grocery store which was unknown to us. Being foodies, we decided it was worth checking out after our meal. What great luck we had in finding this store!
