Finally, some relief from the heat, it was only in the mid-80’s today. Still no rain (hard to believe Hurricane Irene was 5 years ago today!). We took the dogs for a walk around Houghton’s Pond in Milton, and tired dogs = happy dogs!

This blog started as a travel/lifestyle blog dedicated to New England prior to a hopeful move to warmer climates, morphed into a travel/diner blog exploring New England area diners, and now serves as a celebration of typical New England food found in an Irish Catholic Connecticut home in the 70’s, highlighting the good, the bad (and sometimes the ugly) recipes from my mom, who I lost in 2018! But mostly we celebrate the desserts!
