Cook Eat Drink Live

Cook Eat Drink Live

Just got back from participating in the Cook Eat Drink Live event at The Tunnel La. Venue at 608 West 28th Street. Sweet Muse was asked to participate at the very last minute and we scrambled to bake bunches of brownies for this delicious tasting event.

The space was filled with vendors offering tastes of wines, liquors, savory treats, and of course baked goods. Next to us was Pestos with Panache by Lauren. We were so busy offering brownie samples that I only had a chance to taste one of the yummy pestos they were sampling, the pumpkin chipotle. Wow! I wish I could have tried the others too!!

The event was very well attended and everyone seemed to be having a great time — food and wine usually help with that. Perhaps next year we will get involved sooner and be there for the entire three days of the event. If you are a foodie, I would highly recommend keeping an eye out for this event and checking it out. It is usually scheduled around the last week in October or first week in November.

No Resolutions for 2009

It’s that time of year when many of us think about resolutions or goals for the new year. Over the past several years I’ve taken to setting intentions for the year rather than resolutions. With intentions, I can continually remind myself of what I want in my life and renew my intentions at certain points in the year if need be. There’s never the feeling that a resolution has been “broken”, which can too easily lead to abandoning the idea altogether.

Here’s another take on approaching the New Year. I like this one quite a bit too.

Forget the resolutions. Forget control and discipline…too much work. Instead try experimenting. Go in search of something to fall in love with…something about yourself, your career, your spouse. — Dale Dauten

So often the impulse when trying to improve and enrich our lives is to clamp down and work harder to change something we feel doesn’t measure up. What if we instead more fully embraced what is great in our lives?

Whether you decide to make resolutions, set intentions, or more fully embrace what you love about your life, may 2009 be a fulfilling and fabulous year for you!
