Restaurant Review: LAMBERT’S COVE INN

By |2011-09-02T22:06:00-04:00July 31st, 2011|Restaurants|0 Comments

We've found it at last. A Vineyard restaurant that is beautiful, with a menu based on fresh local ingredients, simply but deliciously and artfully prepared by someone with natural talent, who neither skimped on portions, nor over-priced the menu. The wait staff was friendly and professional, the lighting was lovely, and we could actually hear [...]

BOMBS & BASS CHEEKS

I know I'm on vacation when I find lobster in my hair. And so it begins...Last night my husband Andrew Cohen is flying in from Spain to meet me on the Vineyard. He stops off at Logan for a connecting flight--when suddenly airport security yanks him and his luggage out of line. They hustle him [...]

AT ODDS: MATT & BEN, 1001, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

By |2011-08-25T23:19:15-04:00July 28th, 2011|Comedy, Movies, Romance|0 Comments

I've found myself at odds with the prevailing winds. But as always, I'm blowing my own way. Here's what I thought of: - Woody Allen's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS--it's slight but funny with a romantic spirit and an appealing performance by Woody's alter ego Owen Wilson as a writer enthralled with Paris in the 20's. By [...]

MOVIE: FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfJAps5vqRQ&feature=fvst Snap! Crackle! Pop-- that's how the dialogue goes in this fresh, funny, up to the minute romantic comedy starring Justin "hotter than hot right now" Timberlake and Mila Kunis! Trading quips like a modern day Cary Grant and Ros Russell, they light each other's fuses and crack us up! He's the sleek, laid back, [...]

MIND BLOWING THEATER: PSY

By |2011-08-25T23:18:27-04:00July 19th, 2011|Theater|0 Comments

It's the coolest thing in town right now-- and it's only here until July 24! They call themselves: PSY: MIND BLOWING CIRCUS. You may think the performers doth toot their own horns too much. Methinks you would be wrong. I was mesmerized and tickled and left gasping by this astonishing amalgam of acrobatics, juggling, acting, [...]

MOVIE: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2

By |2011-08-25T23:22:43-04:00July 15th, 2011|Action & Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Movies|0 Comments

I saw it 4 nights ago, and as I emerged from the theater I heard a sniffling 17 year old girl in Potter garb exclaim through her tears, "My childhood is over and nobody cares." That sums up the fantastically successful Harry Potter series for a generation of fans who came of age along with [...]

Halibut with brown and white rice risotto. I LOVE TO EAT. I love seeking out a new restaurant and settling into a delicious meal with hours to spare over great food, wine, and conversation. I especially love doing this with my dear friend Cindy; our high school friendship was cemented late one night when we [...]

WHAT CAN ONE SAY?

By now, everyone has heard about the terrible murder of a young Wayland HS graduate, and the ex-boyfriend accused of her murder. The pall of this tragedy is suffocating. I cannot escape it for a moment. It was with me from the minute my daughter-- a junior at Wayland High School told me that a [...]
