Back in January Hubby and I shared a fun movie episode called Cuppa Critics on my Snapchat (username blissbakery). We reviewed 11 flims that I received as Awards Season Screeners. We had a blast and I also posted a story on here as well if you’d like a peek (click here for link) Continue reading
As I shared on here recently via a delish recipe, I LOVE lavender. And it has been a dream to see the Provence, France lavender fields in full bloom. Well guess what? Yesterday I was nearly there, without ever leaving London! Continue reading
Yep the future’s so Brighton, I gotta wear shades! A little take on an oldie but a goodie, but that song was in my head when I hit the laptop to share my latest gastronomic expedition with you. It is hard to believe I have lived in London this long and never made the one hour train journey to Brighton on England’s south coast! It’s been on my mind to do for ages, but various reasons have always circumvented the plans. So I was delighted that this week’s Foodie Fieldtrip Friday allowed me to soak up some sun, listen to the crashing waves and indulge in total iconic Brighton Beach eats! Continue reading
This year is like 4th of July 2.0. What I mean by that is, it’s the second year we are in London for this special holiday. Since Americans abroad don’t get this holiday off work, celebrating can be unique. And especially this year, as I am taking Snapchat on a very unique adventure. If you’d like to join in my username is blissbakery. It is a surprise so I won’t say much now. But I will leave you with last year’s post for the day that is in it. There is even a foodie recipe for you, since food is of the utmost importance in your festive fourth of July gathering. Continue reading
Having lived in America most of my life, I’ve been lucky enough to travel north to Canada on a few occasions. The first was to Montreal in 1987 to film a Suzuki Samurai commercial. I loved what I saw of the city but didn’t get to tour around too much because of work. The second time I visited Canada was to take my son to an ice hockey camp in Logan Lakes. I remember it was gorgeous and woodsy. And my third visit was with Hubby to Vancouver, a very hip and diverse culture with stunning natural beauty. So I was delighted to have the opportunity to return to Canada and soak up as much as I could in one week. Continue reading
Though I left New York over a week ago, I wanted to post a round up of the visit there before too much time passes. Having lived and worked in New York for three years and to go back there again as a tourist was a unique experience unto itself. While it is a city with a personality like no other, it is steeped in history and rich in culture. Yet it is always changing and there is vitality in its newness. So I visited places I had been before and saw some spots for the first time. And all of it was with massive gratitude. Continue reading
An epic Foodie Fieldtrip Friday that I won’t ever forget took place in Paris, France at Le Cordon Bleu. I shared in my last blog post (a synopsis of our trip to Paris) that I would need to spend a whole post elaborating on this gastronomic experience. I have to thank my Hubby for treating me to this Parisian keepsake, a foodie’s equivalent of an expensive designer handbag. Only this is something that I can use and reuse and share with friends, family and customers! A course at Le Cordon Bleu on classic French sauces, the culinary backbone in fine dining. I felt I had died and gone to heaven! Continue reading
