If you are coming here to see how the Pub is for gastric bypass patients, I promise you I will get to it eventually.  But I must ask for a few minutes to just wax nostalgic.  You’ll find your review in here somewhere, but The Pub is more than just food for me, and you’ll…

And I didn’t have time to blog anything about it!  Between everyone being sick, and me writing so many articles, and Jim being in Milwaukee – well, it was just too busy! We had a tiny party the night of her birthday.  It happened to be a Friday night, and Jim is usually home then,…

as I’m driving to the airport to pick Jim up tonight, and a truck merges onto the highway in front of me.  On the back of the truck is a big picture of Luther Vandross, along with the caption in HUGE letters, “We’re Back!!” Who comes up with this stuff?  I pull up a little…

One thing I knew nothing about when I had my gastric bypass surgery was that I would be cold.  All the time.  If I’m in air conditioning in the summer, I’m cold; but so far, even in the fairly mild winter we’ve been having, I freeze my butt off. When I saw the box arrive…

So, my husband is in Seattle this week.  I saw him for just about 24 hours this past weekend, and he doesn’t come home until Sunday, giving me less than 24 hours with him this weekend.  Top that off with the fact that he is going to be at a Sea Cadets drill next weekend,…

I want to start with a word of caution about Bahama Breeze.  They do not make nutritional information available for their menu.  You are on your own in terms of choosing things that are not too high in fat or things that don’t contain too much sugar.  They can offer minimal help.  If you ask…

You’ve all seen the commercials, and you know the deal.  Two men meet in the hospital after learning they are terminally ill, and they set out to scratch items off of a list of things they want to do before they die.  It is funny, it is heartwarming, and I love the interaction between Jack…

Brio Tuscan Grill in Cherry Hill has been open a little while, but with the MOB of people who pack the parking lot of the Cheesecake Factory, this is one area we typically avoid unless it’s very off hours for traditional meal times.  I picked Jim up at the airport this morning, and by the…
