Why Napa Valley? Wine not, I mean why not! My first trip to Napa Valley was over a decade ago and I was just totally entranced with it. All the rolling greens and just how clean and serene it felt. And not to mention of course, the wine. It was just such a tranquil place, and although it’s definitely built up, its still how I remembered it, amazing. Where to stay This is an important need to know. When we say Napa Valley, we include all of the surrounding towns in this quaint and serene place. The first time around we stayed in Calistoga. It felt like you could walk…

Is buying a Timeshare, good investment or total gimmick?

I’m not a Chef, but I love to play one at home
I’m definitely not a chef but I really love to cook. I wanted to learn to cook ever since I was little. I would love to watch and help my grandmother (we called her Nanny) in the kitchen. Most of her dishes were these really simple recipes. My favorites were her Pepper Steak and a dish she called Swiss Steak. Both had a very simple tomato sauce base. Her dishes weren’t fancy, but they were good. Early memories.. I can remember when I first wanted to learn to cook. It was watching the Graham Kerr cooking show every day with My grandfather after school. Graham would make all these beautiful…
