Drinking the marrow outa' life!
I’ve been celebrating my birthday for 2 weeks now. Yes I said it. 2 weeks of eating, drinking, and tasting life. What did I spend the past several days doing? Hanging out and drinking Bulleit and beer with a hot new friend, biking to Tiburon in crystal clear 80 degree weather, drinking copious amounts of Portuguese wine with lovely…

Happy Pride: Salmon Deviled Eggs It was L’s birthday weekend, which fortuitously fell on Pride.
