Inspiration From The 2015 Food & Wine Conference
Hi. My name is Robin King and I am no longer a Food Blogger Conference virgin. With the encouragement of my saucy sister, The Saucy Queen herself, Michele Northrup, and The Family Foodie, Isabel Laessig of The Sunday Supper Movement, I decided to attend the 2015 Food & Wine Conference at the beautiful Rosen Shingle […]
Pia’s Trattoria ~ One of our Favorites
Pia’s Trattoria is our favorite Southern Pinellas County restaurant, besides Three Birds Tavern, of course, and our sure thing, go to spot for a celebration, a quiet hide-away afternoon, or a place for coffee and dessert after a not-so-great meal someplace else (when we wish we had chosen Pia’s first). “We have one goal – […]
Happy Father’s Day
“If,” by Rudyard Kipling My favorite poem was written by nobel laureate RUDYARD KIPLING in the form of paternal advice to his son John. The words are inscribed above the players’ entrance to the Centre Court at Wimbledon, which I hope to see in person one day. If you can meet with triumph and disaster, […]
What I Learned, Or Was Reminded Of, This Visit To Ireland
Soup is pureed, stew is chunky, and if you put a lid on your stew and finish it off in the oven, it is now a casserole. You must ask for your check in a restaurant or pub. They do not automatically bring it, and I assume they think it would be rude to do so. […]
Drawn to the Magical Emerald Isle, again . . .

Out of the Mouths of Babes
Kids say the darndest things, without filter and no ill intention. Just honesty, and I was reminded yesterday just how refreshing that is. Jack and I were at Island Way Grill in Clearwater for Sunday Brunch and while visiting the restroom, a small boy waited with his mother. He was saying, ‘I gotta go, I […]

Sweetheart Pasta
This is by far the simplest, yet most delicious, pasta dish I make. I call it “Sweetheart Pasta” because it became our favorite date weekend, make-at-home treat while Jack and I were dating in 1999. It seems so simple now, but back then, we enjoyed making this, while sharing a bottle of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, and […]
