Wishes and Dishes

I hope everyone had a fun weekend!  We had beautiful, warm weather here in Rochester and we took full advantage of it and did a lot of work in our yard.  There’s still a long way to go to get our lawn the way we want it, but at least we made a dent.  Quite a different [...]

I hope everyone had a good week.  Here in Rochester, we are back to the snow, snow, and more snow…. and the cold.  We had a short span of weather in the 40′s, so that was nice.  I always get really anxious for Spring about this time during the winter.  On the plus side, the [...]

I definitely have a thing for Mexican food, but unfortunately, there really are no great Mexican restaurants here in upstate New York.  For the most part, the Mexican restaurants here just don’t compare at all to the food I have had in other parts of the country.  So far, [...]
