I’m never quite sure what to write about in trip reports, especially when it comes to Connecticut and New York. With family in CT, we always combine the two states, but my guess is most people are going straight to New York. With that in mind, I’m only going to touch on a …

Monkey Cookie from Eleni

We’re back! New York was fun, but I’m exhausted and need to take a post-vacation vacation. The good news is, we covered a lot of territory. We saw Wicked the first evening, then managed to hit Central Park, Chelsea Market, The High Line and Brooklyn all in one day. We also tasted lots …

We’re on vacation, Cookie Madness style! It involves eating giant bagels… …visiting grocery stores. And eating cupcakes “for research purposes”. If you haven’t guessed, we’re in NYC eating cupcakes, seeing shows and walking through museums.   We spent some time in CT as well, visiting family, friends, and dropping in on the test kitchen at Taunton Press.

Me at Magnolia

Ahoy Cookie Lovers! I’m back from a whirlwind trip to NYC. It was supposed to be 3 nights and two full days, but I wasted one day being sick in the hotel room. Luckily, it was quite nice and the concierge brought me a Teddy Bear and some medicine. I’m trying to do a trip [...]
