Do What You Love

I am in the Hamptons this weekend working with the amazing BCRF team and The Hamptons Paddle & Party For Pink.  The event raised over $1.5 million dollars for breast cancer research.  As I reflect back on the event, I feel so fortunate to do something I love and raise money for a cause I believe in.

Supermoon & S'mores

It's National S'mores day and what a perfect night to enjoy this summer outdoor classic under tonight's "supermoon".  In celebration of S'mores and all you moon lovers, I am sharing S'mores 3 ways and the stunning image captured by photographer Aaron Groen.  



   


 
The term supermoon was coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle over 30 years ago. He defined it as "a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.  
Road to Nowhere - Supermoon rises over this road to nowhere in eastern South Dakota. 

Get your S'mores on

Spoonful of flavor

Drink Up | When Life Hands You Lemons

Some say "when life hands you lemons make lemonade" I say "when life hands you lemons make a gin and tonic".   If you haven't experienced the famous gin and tonic at The Bazzar, you should.  If you don't live in Los Angeles, Miami or Las Vegas, don't worry. Here is how you can recreate this beautiful drink perfected by José Andrés at your next party.  I promise it will be a big hit!
