{Out and About: The Mad Hatter’s G&T}

January 18, 2019 by kelerr

Last week I did a review of The Cauldron, an immersive Harry Potter potions experience, and it made me realize that I never posted about my Mad Hatter’s G&T experience back in June. This was along the same lines as the Cauldron experience, in that you mixed and made your own cocktails, but this time around it was all based on Alice in Wonderland, which beats out even Harry Potter for one of my favorite stories of all time. Bear […]

{Out and About: The Cauldron NYC}

January 11, 2019 by kelerr

“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don’t expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if […]

{Out and About: Rose Mansion}

August 21, 2018 by kelerr

One of thing things about living in Brooklyn is that you’re in close proximity to everything in the surrounding boroughs, as well as a lot of surrounding upstate New York, if you have the means to get there (which I do since, unlike fellow New Yorkers, I prefer driving to taking public transportation). I often find myself happening upon strange things to do, either via one of my tangents on the internet or social media. Thus I stumbled upon Rose […]

{Shaker and Spoon: Death By Gin}

March 3, 2018 by kelerr

The beginning of February meant a new Shaker and Spoon box. This month the spirit of choice was gin, aptly named Death by Gin. I was excited because the last two have both been whiskey-based (which I love, but was looking forward to trying something else). When the box arrived, I opened it up to see what I was in store for. I tend to keep it a surprise more or less. Although Shaker and Spoon does describe its cocktails […]

{Shaker and Spoon: Rye, Oh My!}

January 31, 2018 by kelerr

In January, I continued my mixology education with Shaker and Spoon. The theme of the month’s box was “Rye Oh My!” and all the drinks featured rye whiskey. No complaints here. The box arrived with a little less fanfare than last time but was still exciting to open. I love finding and pulling out all the little bottles and syrups. (Sidebar: the box also arrived the exact same day as my new portable photography light box so I immediately started […]

{Shaker and Spoon: Houston Without Limits}

December 24, 2017 by kelerr

Recently, I got it into my head that I would really like to take a mixology class or two. Ever artistic, I also love creative and fancy cocktails, and I thought it would be a fun way to shake things up as well as a way to learn a new skill. Shaker and Spoon was recommended to me by a friend months back. Basically, it’s a monthly cocktail club that sends the ingredients (minus the alcohol) to make three different […]

{Out and About: Tea at the Plaza}

August 5, 2012 by kelerr

This post also serves as my “Summer Vacation: Week 5” post since this was the most noteworthy thing to happen all week, unless you count a trip to Target as noteworthy. I have had an obsession with The Plaza Hotel since I was a child. This place has always held an air of mystery to me, perhaps because I associated with the rich, and I so wanted to have enough money to be able to stay at the Plaza and […]

{Eating: A Birthday Dinner}

August 25, 2011 by kelerr

“Just give me champagne and good food and I’m in heaven and love.” – Marilyn Monroe Last night, my cousins and I prepared a birthday dinner for my sister. In what we have decided is the new tradition, she chose the menu and we bought and prepared all the food. Our day began early, with a trip to Fairway, and then Katherine and I got to work on the lavish meal. For this evening’s feast we had bacon wrapped scallops, […]

{Eating: Impromptu Strawberry Pie}

August 4, 2011 by kelerr

Last night, my grandparents, cousin, sister and mom came over for dinner. Admittedly, I forgot they were coming, so when my sister reminded me in the middle of the day, I scrambled to get supplies to make an easy dinner. Picking out the main course was easy – sauteed chicken cutlets, steamed spinach with garlic and oil and mushrooms with mustard sauce (to top the chicken with). However, I make it a policy to always have dessert, preferably homemade, whenever […]
