Alpine Village Changes Face

On my way to work this morning, I took a different route.  I wanted to mix things up…partly because I need a change of pace; partly because I needed a bit more time to pass before I walked into the office!  Driving the side roads of Mequon, a suburb of Milwaukee, I passed a

Bosley on Brady - Milwaukee WI

Last night, we had our annual Bonde cousin gathering marking the first weekend of August.  Each year, some or all of Dale’s cousins come to town for the large family reunion that takes place about 90 minutes north of Milwaukee.  I have to admit that these four, amazing women are some of my favorites

Wayfare Tavern - San Francisco CA

Our anniversary trip to San Francisco included a trip to Tyler Florence’s new restaurant, Wayfare Tavern.  Opened only a few weeks ago, this restaurant was truly exceptional.  We started the evening off with fresh popovers.  I’m guessing that this is a nod to Tyler’s southern roots.  Next, we shared a few appetizers:  deviled eggs

Riptide Seafood Bar & Grill – Milwaukee WI

We stopped at Riptide tonight for dinner.  My dad came into town for the weekend and misses our great Milwaukee fish fries.  We’ve never been to Riptide, a restaurant on the river in the Third Ward.  To our surprise, it was more of a casual restaurant than originally anticipated.  Service was great…food was decent…noise

Highland House – Mequon WI

Last night was Saturday date night.  We stopped off at Highland House in Mequon.  We’ve been here often and enjoy the casual atmosphere.  They serve decent chips and salsa.  The chips are usually sprinkled with their chili powder mix.  (A reminder of the old Dos Bandidos in Glendale, WI)  I can’t say that Highland

Senor Luna – Grafton, WI

Well, we made it over a month eating in for dinners.   Not one dinner eaten out of the house and no takeout cheats either!  On Saturday night, we stopped at Senor Luna in Grafton, WI.  This little “burb” town north of Milwaukee has a nice small town feel.  A few nice restaurants and lots
