This Valentine’s Day weekend I accompanied my brother and future sister-in-law to Buffalo to document and help with their wedding preparation, which included cake tasting at Dessert deli followed by food tasting at the country club. I must have gained 5 lbs., but luckily I have 5 months to work it off.

Sorry, for not posting anything for several months. I’ve been in la-la-land, but now I’m back and with more photos to share. :)

This past month I spent two weeks at my brother and future sister-in-law’s new place in Bayside, Queens and absolutely fell in love with the area. Everything you can possibly need is within walking distance and one place I’ve made a special place in my heart for is at Martha’s Country Bakery. Reason’s to visit Martha’s: The staff are extremely friendly, they have great coffee, after eating the red velvet cake you will have cravings for it and it is conveniently located right next to the LIRR. Just 28 min. to Penn. I’d say it’s a great day trip, if you’re looking to get out of the city.

Iron Chef America- The Chairman

Mark Dacascos was walking around the Beverage Media Trade Tasting event so I went up to him to ask if I could take several pictures and this is what he gave me. :) I just asked him to stand in front of the Food Network sign and he did the rest. He was nice and very friendly to the people. Watch him on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Monday’s at 8pm. What? I like him.

The winning dish

Last Friday I had the great opportunity to go to the NYC Wine & Food Festival with wine and food expert, Tom Mastrianni of Wine & Dine with Mastro. Luck (if it were an object) fell in my hands and I’m still very excited that I got to go to the festival. :)
