Check out Rebecca, hanging with the Dallas Cowboys!!! To borrow a clique, they were such "nice young men." (Bradie James has his own foundation to fight breast cancer, which claimed his mother Etta while he was at LSU.) It was the most spectacular event I have EVER attended. Just AMAZING! And… MORE

About two years ago, I was forwarded a link to a rant on YouTube by one Randy Taylor, dissatisfied Jimmy Dean sausage customer. Sometimes I’m reminded of that irate phone call—which was actually rather hilarious—and the clever images someone added to the soundtrack. If you want to listen and… MORE

Ever had someone say something rude to you, and then hours (or days) later, you thought of all the sharp-witted things you could have said in return?  It’s not a very adult longing, but I sometimes wish I could step back in time and put “George and Julia” in their place. My husband and I… MORE

Martini fans can (and will) debate at length what makes up the “perfect Martini.” There are many angles on the topic—gin or vodka, olive or twist, dry or dirty, and so on. I have my own personal preference, and so when I order a Martini, I always ask for it this way: “Very cold and very dry, two MORE

After interviewing Chef Richard Chamberlain for EscapeHatchDallas about Cotes du Coeur, I was inspired to buy the cookbook he co-authored with Betsy Hornick, entitled The Healthy Beef Cookbook. Last Sunday I tried his recipe for Tenderloin Steaks with Expresso Bourbon Sauce, and my whole family… MORE

Wine, food, and music—I challenge anyone to come up with a better combination than that. Even that unlikely party animal, Martin Luther, is quoted as having said, ““Who loves not wine, women and song, remains a fool his whole life long.” Brother Martin is a controversial figure, and I hea MORE

I saw an article in today’s paper that proclaimed that dogs are preferred by pet owners 2-to-1. The article went on to give the reasons why people tend to prefer dogs (unconditional acceptance) while cat owners defended their preference for felines. The good news is that sixty-two percent of… MORE

Although I have a Hebrew name—Rebecca—I’m about as Jewish as the Blarney stone.  In fact, most of my ancestors hailed from Ireland/Scotland, with a sprinkling of French and Native American. However, in spite of that ethnic mélange, or maybe because of it, I pursue culinary traditions from… MORE

About Me
I became deeply interested in wine starting about 4 years ago when my husband and I traveled to Napa Valley on our honeymoon. As we visited many of the gorgeous wineries such as Sterling, Clos du Val, and Chateau Montelena, I found myself responding to the scenery and wine in a profound way. My affinity for great wine only grew during our 2008 trip to Paris, leading me to a serious interest in wine and food.
My favorite things to cook
Just about anything with five stars on allrecipes.com :-) Anything with cheese or chocolate is a big hit with la familia.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have three days of special Christmas dinners at our house: December 23, latkes; December 24, lasagne; December 25, traditional turkey and trimmings.
My cooking triumphs
I made a beef bourguignon that would have made Julia proud.
My cooking tragedies
Tough steak and undercooked potatoes.
