Sometimes good things do come in pairs. Two weekends in a row, my husband and I were traveling out of state. For both weekends, we enjoyed nice weather, great company, and terrific breakfasts. The first breakfast was had in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at S&S Restaurant.
The following weekend we traveled to Maryland and spent Saturday morning in Harford County. With two of our kids for company, we were seeking a breakfast restaurant with a decent menu. As neither of us were familiar with good breakfast restaurants in the area, we were at the mercy of my Internet searches.
And search I did.

After a weekend of travel and eating meals out, there is something nice about returning home and cooking in your own kitchen. Thankfully, this weekend of travel was filled with excellent meals, so the excitement to return to my kitchen was more about wanting to cook than needing decent food.
However, our return home wasn't scheduled to be a quiet night. In addition to the company of our 11 and 13 year olds, we also would be watching our two and four year old nephews. So, after an evening of playing chase the preschoolers, simple foods seemed to be our best

Review: S&S Restaurant, Cambridge, MA
by TT November 17th, 2009 | Restaurant Reviews
There's nothing quite like a walk through Cambridge on a beautiful fall morning. . .unless, of course, you packed the pair of shoes that always give your husband a blister when you were preparing for this surprise trip. However, being the agreeable guy that he is, we made it a couple miles before we found a wonderful restaurant, where we stopped, had a great breakfast, and then took a cab to our next destination!
Thankfully, we did make it two miles, as S&S Restaurant was excellent, worthy of a sore foot or two. Arriving there around 10:30 on a Sunday morning,

Sometimes a dinner recipe just falls into your lap. A few weeks ago, we made a trip to the butcher's and returned home with a freezer's quantity of meats. One of those items just happened to be a boneless pork loin roast.
The next day we made a stop at Starbucks while we were out running errands. Our trip to Starbucks coincided with their VIA promotion. Take a taste test to determine which cup was the VIA instant coffee and which was the brewed coffee, and get a large coffee for free if you bought a 3-pack of the VIA. As

Review: Scampo, Boston, MA
by TT November 10th, 2009 | Restaurant Reviews
A night in Boston leaves a couple with lots of options. Looking for a nice dinner for two, we decided to check with the concierge at our hotel. Telling him that we wanted an upscale restaurant that was fun and had a great menu, he suggested Scampo at the Liberty Hotel. What a great suggestion it was!
Arriving at the restaurant around 8:00 without a reservation, we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. As we were without kids for the night, a wait was not a problem. In fact, we often enjoy a bit of a wait. It
