Johnson & Wales Culinary Arts Museum
I entered the Culinary Arts Museum with trepidation, fearing endless exhibits of soup tureens and salad forks, broken up by instructional videos on braising and refrigeration. My worries, thankfully, proved groundless. The museum, housed at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, does focus on food, but in its broadest sense: how its preparation, marketing, [...]

Remember having to brush the sand off of our feet and slip into our comfy sandals for [...]
...Simple elegance with just one touch
Trying the Honysuckle Ferroniere

...The Gift Giver is more than just another book! It’s real!
I am one of those old fashioned people that just love to sit down and read a real good book. I don’t like reading a book on those new, fancy Nooks, or Kindles or even on my phone. I want to hold a book in my lap with my legs curled up under me, kick [...]
