Frank:
My parents got divorced when I was five and like a lot of kids of my generation, I spent every other weekend with my dad. There are two things I developed a love for while growing up that I will credit to my father. One, which I turned into a career, was movies (during [...]

Meg:
Frank and I recently hopped a train (one hour from NYC on Amtrak) to Philadelphia for a weekend of brotherly love…and cheesesteaks. We wasted no time beginning our quest for the best Philly cheesesteak.
Frank:
Any time we look into taking a new trip I always hop on tripadvisor.com and check the reviews of everything in that [...]

Meg:
In Manhattan, the beauty of fall can pass by completely unnoticed if you’re not careful. We decided to make sure that didn’t happen this year. We jumped on a train and headed to Connecticut, where we traded skyscrapers and subways for pumpkins and peak fall foliage.
When I think of fall in the Northeast, I think [...]

We asked the young people working at the Embassy Suites in Niagara Falls how long it would take to get to Toronto.
“Oh,” said one girl, wrinkling her nose, “that could take, what, 3 hours with traffic?” Another teen nodded his head.
“Oh ya,” he agreed, “three hours, easy.”
“Three hours?” Frank repeated, his face lighting up. [...]

Meg:
Frank and I took a trip to Canada over Labor Day. Frank had never been to Canada before, and I hadn’t been since I was a little girl, so we dusted off our passports and headed over the border.
We had planned to spend just one day in Niagara Falls and then move on to the [...]

Meg:
After a stressful week in the city, we went up to Rhode Island this past weekend in the hopes of spending a couple of relaxing days at the beach. Saturday we woke up to an overcast sky, which quickly developed into thunderstorms. We were disheartened, until Frank suggested we partake in one of New England’s [...]
Frank’s chipotle-cinnamon BBQ sauce: Spice up your 4th of july picnic
Posted in North America, United States on July 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
What is it with men and sauce? Barbecue sauce in particular. They have festivals in its honor; contests to taste and compare various recipes (and, of course, compete for the bragging rights that accompany an “award-winning” BBQ sauce); entire restaurants dedicated to barbecue. I’m from the south, so perhaps I understand this uniquely male love [...]
