…try picking an apple wine? I mean, let’s be real: we should do both! Hermit Woods Winery is located about a block north of lovely Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith and it’s worth the walk up the hill. They’re not your average all-grapes-fits-all winery. In fact, all of their wines are made from local fruits, honey, […]
I remember staying at a cabin in the White Mountains a few years ago that had a cute little sign in the entryway that read, “if you’re lucky enough to be in the mountains, you’re lucky enough.” I remember smiling at that sign and thinking, you know, you’re probably right. Even after living in the […]
If you’re like me and are brainstorming ways to socially/physically distance while also making the most of summer, I might have an idea for you. A few weeks ago I discovered a new-to-me farm just north of Concord and it was right in the middle of strawberry season! By the time this post goes live […]
I’m not ashamed to admit that on a recent road trip to Somersworth we drove through towns and parts of New Hampshire that I had never seen before. It was a beautiful not-quite-spring day in January and we were ready for an adventure with our 12 extra minutes of winter daylight. Our destination was Bad […]
Is anyone else no longer really sure what day it is? My mornings have been a confusing mix of thinking about whether or not it’s a work day, whether or not I need to look presentable (is it a Zoom call or webinar?) and then I listen to The Daily to remind me of the […]
Hello there, blog readers! Never has it been so confusing and complicated to help promote our restaurants and beverage suppliers here in New Hampshire. At the outset, I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to sharing more about restaurants and the food industry in-person in the (hopefully near) future! I have […]
One quote I’ve been seeing a lot on social media lately comes from one of the greatest, kindest souls of the last century, Mr. Fred Rogers: When I was a boy and would see scary things on the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who […]
Picture this: it’s Saturday morning and you’re enjoying your first cup of coffee in your pajamas, maybe watching some cartoons (aren’t they bringing Lizzie McGuire back??). Maybe you’re making a grocery list or struggling through a New York Times crossword, but definitely not checking work emails. You’re well-rested and hankering for a pastry but feeling […]
I am a big fan of the weekend brunch year-round, but winter always seems to be a good time to reconnect with my favorite breakfast/brunch spots. While one of my goals for this next year is to re-learn how to ski, I love a good lazy winter morning drinking too much coffee and ordering multiple […]
I tried coming up with a creative title for this post, but nothing felt quite right. The more common definition of vulgar, of which I was more familiar with is lacking sophistication and good taste; unrefined. However, nothing about the new Vulgar Brewing Company in Franklin is lacking good taste! When you walk in you’ll […]
