  • Noonan’s ’17 “Kick Start your New Year” Menu

    As her father says, the Ina Garten of B-More. One of the biggest benefits of being married to an opera-singing-Irish-wordsmith is her prowess in the kitchen. Her mother, who is closest thing to Martha Stewart without actually being her, is one of the best cooks this side of kingdom come; Noonan (my wife) soaked up…

  • Another Summer has come and gone and so has our annual beach to Rehoboth, DE. This time around, however, I can’t say that it was as good a time as last year.       ​It started auspicious enough, with our stop at Hopkins Creamery for probably the best ice cream we’ve ever had. But…

  • It’s been few days after my I went from eating three meals to two meals a day. Here are pictures of what Kate made me for din din this past week. With this latest change, I have to admit I was hungry as hell starting at 4 pm; I was so hungry it felt like…

  • Gordon Ramsey, of the popular reality cooking show, “Hell’s Kitchen”, used to have a British show called the “F Word”, which was one of my favorite cooking shows. In one segment, he would do a fast forward version of the dish of the day and at the end he would exclaim, for example, “beef wellington,…

  • After starting our day at 5:20 am and getting to the BWI Airport with 3 suitcases, a carseat, and a high chair, we are finally here at the Aquamarine Beach House; our home away from home for the next 7 days. Mr. Man did surprisingly well during our two flights. He ate, read, ran all…

Our flight leaves Sat morning at 8:30 am; I am looking forward to all the fun things including vegging and snorkeling on the beach, eating peas…

  • Before we had Christopher, Kate and I took a lot of adventures together. From Canada, to Asia, to the Caribbean, we’ve explored, seen the sites, and gotten to know the locals. But, amid all the fun times, we’ve also had our share of misadventures. Motion sickness in Montreal. Getting lost in Bangkok. An island-wide blackout…

  • Wow, it’s the last day of our beach trip and boy has it been fun. The most pressing issue of this day: Get up early enough to get in line to get croissants from Cafe Papillon before they run out. Kate has been itching to get her hands on them the entire week. Papillon, which means…

  • After spending time sight seeing in Lewes, DE on the first day, the temperature rose to a warm mid 80’s on second and third days of our beach vacay and we were finally able to get some sand time in Rehoboth. Day 2 On our second day, the plan was to get sandwiches from Frank…

First B-day, first brunch, first bite of sushi, his first Indian wedding, first ice cream/snowcone, first MD State Fair, first Shake Shack burger, first dim sum, his first swim lesson, first authentic tacos at Highlandtown and now his first beach vacay at Rehoboth.
