Birthday Cake

Birthday Dinner Party for Girls

March 28, 2011 by liz

Birthdays are less painful when you have friends to cook for you. As I planned what I wanted to do for my birthday this year (a big one!) I remembered what one friend recently did for her wedding. To make it more affordable, and more personal, she rented a historic meeting hall for the reception …

Bone Chillin' Punch Halloween Recipe

Make Creepy Halloween Punch with this Bone Chillin’ Brew Recipe

October 19, 2010 by liz

Ever since I bought my new cake stand which doubles as a punch bowl, I’ve been looking for excuses to make punch (or retro layered salad).

The Bottega (Louie) of Seville

December 18, 2009 by liz

Every year in December, my girlfriends and I attend the opera for a special holiday treat. One of my favorite things about the opera is that the stories still apply to modern life. I always learn something profound from the opera that applies to me. Last year, Carmen taught me I ought to get rid …

Swiss Raclette Cheese

Strictly Raclette

October 1, 2009 by liz

During the two years I lived in Switzerland, I’d never heard the word “no” spoken so often and so eagerly. When crossing the street on early mornings against the walk light – and there is not a car to be seen – Swiss residents feel compelled to yell “Non! Non! Ce n’est pas possible!” At …

Wine Trail in Vaud, Switzerland

Walking the Swiss Wine Trail

August 22, 2008 by liz

Imagine yourself high in the Alps, overlooking the clear blue waters of Lake Geneva. There are acres of terraced vineyards all around you following a wide path that cuts across the vineyards, winding through medieval villages and Swiss country cottages. Welcome to the Lavaux Vineyard Trail in the Riviera of Switzerland, just 30 minutes northeast …
