The weather here on the east coast has recently been hot and uncomfortable. Of course, you know what they say: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade - and beer!
In Munich, the Germans make a wonderful summer drink called a radler. Basically, it’s a refreshing mixture of beer and lemonade. It’s […]

On Saturday night, the weather was lovely. Chris and I were out on our own, the kiddos tucked into bed at home under the careful eye of Super Nanny (our version). It was rare that we had this sort of freedom to go anywhere we wanted, without timing and food restraints, so we […]
