In my mind, April is a month for games – after all the first day is the biggest prank day of the year! So what better way to celebrate than with another Dungeons & Dragons inspired month? These are based on 6 more classes you can play in D&D. Don’t play the game? Don’t worry, […]
Happy February! Even though Valentine’s Day is in the middle of the month, it definitely dominates. Chocolate and love are on everyone’s mind. This is the time to give chocolates to show you care, and to get in someone’s good graces – and maybe hopefully in their bed! As I have done for the last […]
Wow, the end of summer is here already! With school starting and vacations ending, I thought this was a great time to highlight one of my favorite hobbies: Dungeons and Dragons. Here at The French Door Cafe I have been running edible adventures every month or so, and I started thinking about what all the […]
August is here and it is hot. Clearly this means I need to play around with spicy ingredients! I sorted these based on Scoville units, the measurement of the spiciness of chili peppers. I wonder if you will be as surprised as I was with the ranking! Now, I am by no means any sort […]
July heat and tiki drinks – hard to think of a more winning combination! I am a big rum lover, which means I am a tiki fan. I have long followed a popular bartending YouTuber Anders Erickson who is also a big tiki fan. You will see many of the linked recipes are his – […]
Time keeps plodding on, and we are walking the line. It is March! If you can’t tell, I have been having a lot of fun with word play this month – it is such an easy one! So tread carefully but eat with gusto. The flavors this month don’t have an overarching theme, just somewhat […]
Happy 2025! I wish you all a year filled with laughter, good friends, and of course lots of chocolate! Remember, eating more chocolate is a very valid New Year’s resolution. This month is also a big birthday month – so many celebrations (mine, my mom’s, and my best friend). And what is more celebratory than […]
It is almost the end of the year already! November is here, the air is crisp and bright, and I am so excited to eat way too much food at Thanksgiving. The flavors this month are cozy and surprising. The weather here has been a bit all over the place, so the flavors are taking […]
Get excited, it is June! The month of rainbows and love. A month dedicated to people discovering and celebrating who they are and who they love. I am happily out and proud, but I recognize that many people are not in as fortunate a position. Therefore, I will be donating 15% of proceeds this month […]
March is an interesting month. Winter is over though it is often still chilly with just enough warm spring days sprinkled in at the end to give the idea of summer coming. And, March is Women’s History Month! So, I decided to pick chocolates from women ambassadors to Cocoa Barry. These women are highly accomplished, […]
October has got to be one of the most fun months, right? Halloween can be as scary or as silly as you decide, and it
