Duet: Cheese Manicotti / Billy Joel “The Stranger”

The food: Is it clear yet that I have a soft spot for foods that are best described as ooey gooey? Whether it’s super moist baked goods or extra cheesy dinners, I love rich, delicious treats. Not healthy, but absolutely delicious. This certainly holds true when...

Duet: Triple Chocolate Crispy Treats / Go-Go’s “Beauty and the Beat”

Dessert, Duet, Pop

The food: Growing up and developing a sophisticated palate is wonderful. Now that I’m 40, I love pâté, brussels sprouts, Chardonnay, and much more that I’d have hated as a child. Just because I now appreciate the finer things, however, doesn’t...
