The Best Cheese Sampling in Maine

by Amparo Randall February 09, 2018

I love cheese (I know, that’s not a very unique statement) and I have been waiting for the perfect event to put out a cheese platter. Sitting in front of the television in my pajamas this evening, watching the Winter Olympic opening ceremony will do.

Portland, Maine has more restaurants per capita than probably any other city in the country. Despite the bevy of fabulous dining options, one of my favorite places to nosh is the Cabot Farmers’ Annex on Commercial Street. Why? Two words: cheese samples.

What Is Your Dream Beer Flight?

by Amparo Randall December 01, 2017

Food conjures up lovely memories. Each bite of a certain food can transport you to a special time and place. Every time I bake my sister’s chocolate chip cookies, I am right back in her living room, binge-watching episodes of the Twilight Zone on Christmas day. Believe it or not, the other day I became similarly nostalgic, not over food, but rather over beer. It all started while I was reading a list of the top-rated beers in each state. It made me think about my favorite beers and I wondered: “What would be my ‘dream beer’ flight?”
