Jones-ing in the A

Oh boy!! Yesterday charts the end of a brief period of revelry, rapid-fire decision-making, and intense family and friend time. Yesterday my sister got married to my new brother. Today starts their first day of a lifetime of revelry, rapid-fire decision-making, and intense family and friend time. Tyeise and Daryl, Pat and I wish you the […]
Staycation Summer 2014 – FLASHBACKÂ
Journey to 2015

2014 has been LOONG!! Gruelingly long. Many days have been lovely, and many days have been hard. Pat and I have had long work days, long travel, long workouts, long fights – with each other and everyone else. We’ve pushed each other to the brink, hoping we’d be better for it. We’ve pushed our friends […]
The Hill Cafe, Bmore, MD
Austin without Pat
Puerto Rico & the Birthday Boy
Rome lived – the Flavian Amphitheater
Fruitvale and other non-treats
In the last couple of weeks, we’ve been inundated with the mistreatment of black men – a hard truth to swallow. Pat, my cousins, and I were standing on line for ice cream at Zwahlens in suburban PA when the Wall Street Journal pushed an article to Pat’s phone. Trayvon Martin was found guilty for […]
Ann Arbor – how delightful!
The wedding was GORGEOUS!! Glasses up to Angel and Warrick! We love you and wish you the best!! Thanks for the suggestions Food and Wine Hedonist! Unfortunately Cake Nouveau closed too early on Saturday and was closed Sunday, so we missed out. Yesterday, however, we made it to Sava’s and had a deliciously […]
The Green Delight
Pat and I enjoy all treats. While we regularly ooh and ahhh about our ooey gooey sweet, salty, and fatty treats, we also have a deep affinity for our earthy green delights. Meet our typical smoothie. We use our mighty Ninja to blend many fruit and vegetable juices. This particular number is a mixture of […]
Headed to Michigan
The Treat Trek is headed to MI this summer. Where to go? Our dear friends are getting married in Ann Arbor so much of the visit will be wrapped up in wedding festivities, but Pat and I will need to consider treat options. I know Ann Arbor will have something, but what has Detroit?
Best Food Ever – which we’ve missed
How did we miss it?!? The Arcade Diner in Memphis! Well, I know how. I was too busy eating pork ribs to even think about brunch! Sorry we missed you and your sweet potatoE pancakes. (Yes, potatoE! I can’t resist a shot at Dan Quayle.) Sitting at home on a Friday enjoying some work-from-home Friday […]
Smoked Memphis
The smell of “smoked” fills my nostrils. My fingers are dirty with it. In every neighborhood we’ve visited today, the smell of smokiness wafts through the air. People at home. Restaurants. Everyone. We stood outside the Pink Palace, the home of Mr. Piggly Wiggly himself, in a rather high end neighborhood and smelled the sweet […]
Stay Calm, Eat On!
First off, well done Patrick! Fine marathon running young man! Now that we’ve acknowledged the real reason for our trip to London April 18-23, 2013, let’s talk about how London is paying homage to its cupcake treats. (Sorry for neglecting my blog duties. I’ve been highlighting trips elsewhere and otherwise inconsistent. I need to consolidate.) […]
