Lots of foodie fun at this weekend’s Women’s Fair

Feb. 13, 2012 – 4:58 p.m.

I like the Women’s Fair. I’ve been going to it for years and I’m always amazed by the sheer amount of STUFF the organizers pack into Century II. There’s good shopping, live haircuts, as-seen-on-TV demos, tons of freebies (my favorite are the shampoo samples) and tons of food-related exhibitors. In past years, my friends Carrie [...]

April 12, 2011 – 11:10 a.m.

But he didn’t happen to mention that one of them would be LIMONCELLO BREAD PUDDING. Does this sound beyond fabulous to anyone but me? Among the other specials Carrabba’s will [...]

Meatloaf can be sort of a polarizing food. I love it, but many people in my life just can’t deal with it. I’m not sure why. It’s sort of like a giant meatball, and what’s not to like about that? Good thing I’m pro-meatloaf because on Saturday, I’ll be one of three judges at the [...]
