During IFBC, I participated in a food swap. It was an interesting experience, and provided a learning opportunity for all involved. I will say this…food swaps are nothing like the bottle swaps that I’m used to. For the food swap, I wasn’t sure what to bring…until it hit me. My Spicy Red Wine BBQ Sauce. […]

Keeping it Authentic, Storytelling and #goingrogue: A Recap of #IFBC15

Gratitude, “Your palate is your own,” and “To hell with SEO!”: An IFBC recap
My last post was sheer reaction. It had to be said. If you’re reading this and were at WBC 14…well, you’ll get it when I say that post was my “print writers” response. That being said… First off, I want to say thank you to the crew at Foodista and Zephyr for busting their asses […]

Turning Male Bovine Excrement into Filet Mignon: In Defense of IFBC 14
There’s a post out there that is critical of IFBC after the author attended a whole whopping two sessions, then walked away. The first two, to be exact, based on what this person wrote. The two kick off sessions and you discount the conference. Yeah…um, let me insert the popular photo of McKayla Maroney here. […]

Well…here’s a list of where you can […]

I know that the fine folks at Foodista and Zephyr […]

One Girl, One Glass in the kitchen…Oven Roasted Salmon & Renegade Wine Rosé
The last Thursday (usually) of every month, Sean Sullivan from Washington Wine Report hosts a virtual tasting via Twitter. This month, the wine chosen was Renegade Wine Company’s 2013 Columbia Valley Rosé. Now, we’ve been having some wild weather here at the world headquarters. A freak snowstorm that left me with a foot of snow […]
