Domino Magazine
Remember Domino Magazine? A fantastic home decorating and style magazine for young, modern women. I loved subscribing so much that for Christmas in 2008 I got my sister a subscription. Then, in January, 2009 they announced they were ending the magazine because of a lack of advertising…it was a sad day. Well, they just announcedContinue reading “Domino Magazine”

From the old “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” mantra it’s hard to tell if the vineyard is creating a cute label and name to make up for their less thanContinue reading “Label Wine”
Chicken Corn Chowder
Paula Deen has been getting lots of backlash lately that I don’t even want to get into, but I do think she still has a great Corn Chowder recipe.
