National Coffee Day

Today is National Coffee Day. I decided to celebrate at my favorite Bucee’s. You can make your own coffee there with your choice of flavors, creams, and topping. I love my coffee with Cold Stone Creamery coffee cream and a little whipped cream. If you have never been to a Bucee’s then you must make time to visit. You will not be disappointed in all they have to offer. www.buc-ees.com Enjoy! T

National Pancake Day

It’s National Pancake Day. It is a great way to start the morning. Lucky for me, the executive lounge inside the Renaissance Downtown Phoenix hotel had a pancake machine. This is a really cool, automated machine. Simply wave your hand in front of the sensor and the pancake making process starts. The batter is dispensed onto a little conveyer belt.

When I first got there I was planning on getting crab for dinner. But after looking over the menu I had my sights set on crawfish. It had been a…

Truluck’s – Miami Beach, FL

I was back visiting Miami. The city was electric as usual. The traffic did seem to be a lot heavier than the last time. It is probably all of the people moving to Florida. While there I decided to head back to Truluck’s and share the experience with another group of people. The restaurant is still dimly lit but now they have menus that light up. This definitely helps. We ordered a bottle of Piattelli – Malbec for the table. This was a rich wine that had a smoothness to it. The wine went marvelously with the meatball appetizer that…

Henry’s Tavern – Denver, CO

It’s National Beer Lover’s Day. Whether you like IPA’s, Lagers, or even Sour Beers, today is a reason to celebrate. I decided to make Henry’s Tavern in Denver, Colorado my celebration spot. They are a large sports bar with plenty of seats for everyone. For my beer, I wanted to make sure I got something local. I ordered the New Belgium Brewing Dominga Mimosa Sour. It is brewed in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It had a great citrus taste to it and a nice tangy bite at the end. I love sour beers; they are so unique. To help wash down…
