Charlotte, NC Airport Doubletree Lacking

As usual, we waited for at least half an hour for the hotel van to arrive from the hotel, 10 minutes away. The driver didn’t even have the courtesy to close the van doors! The front desk staff was friendly as always though and made up for the lack in courtesy. Sitting area are warm [...]

A Food Network Thanksgiving

While I didn’t exactly follow the Eat This Not That philosophy, I did have one awesome Thanksgiving meal and it wasn’t all that bad for us either. As I was looking for recipes, my computer kept taking me back to the Foodnetwork.com website! I love that network/station/channel, what ever you want to call it and so [...]

Cookies, Pies and Pounds Oh My!

With the holidays right around the world, I look forward to all of the food that is cooked and baked just for the occasions and am reminded of memories from years past that I miss.
