Cheese, beautiful cheese, This is the most spectacular, mouth watering dessert my mouth has experienced in a long while. Baked sweet Ricotta pudding with a dark chocolate sauce and baked raspberries. My partner found the recipe in July's gourmet magazine and added his twist. In the Gourmet mag recipe the pudding is served with roasted grapes.

Knowing my love of all things chocolate he created his own topping using shaved dark chocolate and raspberries he baked in butter, sugar and [...]

This Journey of re-awaking my senses is starting to push the limits of my comfort zone. After all at 39 my tastes aren't going to change, are they?
My trepidation began this morning when I listened to my partners voice mail. You see I like to be in control, and today he gets to chose which direction the journey winds. In a voice that sounded all most gidy he tells me "to get ready for a day of sweet wine and stinky cheese." So, you see this is where my goose bumps get goose b [...]

In his article, Gary mentioned several r [...]

We had a relative visiting from New Hampshire recently, and as good hosts do, we took her all around the area to see the sights. It was during this week-long adventure of daily excursions that I was reminded of what a plethora of wonderful natural sights and adventures Placer County and the surrounding area have to offer. All too often we get tied up in our busy lives and don't take the time to appreciate the beauty in nature all around us. There is truly so much to encounter just minu [...]

Bounced over to Court House Haven on a splendid Fall day, partook of the Truman Chipolte sassy turkey sandwich, chatted with Gary, owner of Carpe Vino who was showcasing tasty goat-cheese pastry from his eatery along with a local winery for the Wine Fest.

Headed out to The Ridge to swing big under a cloudless sky and a [...]

Some of the great products that Trader Joe's carries include their very famous "Charles Shaw" wines for only $2 a bottle. Commonly referred to as "Two Buck Chuck".. [...]
