Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Breakfast - every Sunday

Just about every Sunday morning we go out to breakfast. This morning we went to Perkins Pancake House in Lake Worth- seems every place we go, I have one special thing that I like to order. And Perkins is no exception. Though it's a "pancake" house, I always order their asparagus omelet. They are very generous with the asparagus too, unlike a lot of chain restaurants. It's fresh and very good. Another thing I like about it is that they have coffee on the table all the time. A good breakfast place should have a pot of coffee on the table instead, that's just the way it should be and I really judge a place by whether they do that or not. Oh and if you go, ask for Natalie; she's a hoot. Other places we go are Toojay's in Lake Worth. It's good and I like their omelets too but they don't leave coffee on the table so that's a negative. They bring fresh fruit with breakfast. One of the best local places we go to once in a while is the ocean front Ritz-Carlton in Manalapan. They have a great herb omelet and they make tiny sticky buns that are on the buffet, but the waiter always brings them to us when we ask. In Delray Beach, we like the International House of Pancakes. I highly recommend their brown sugar banana French toast. And if it's a view you want, the Holiday Inn in Highland Beach is a great spot as is Watercolors at the old Bridge Hotel in Boca. It sits right at the Camino Real bridge on the intracoastal waterway - what a view and what a breeze.
