Eating Connecticut: Plan B is a Plan A

November 13, 2012 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 4 Comments
Plan B Simsbury - poet in the pantry

I love that there are so many delicious options for dining out on my lunch break. The area where I work has a wide variety of cuisines to choose from–heck, one plaza has Indian, Chinese, pizza, and sandwiches, all in one stop!–making it the ideal place to burn off an hour in the middle of … [Read more…]

Eating Connecticut: Boho in Litchfield Co: Bohemian Pizza

September 3, 2011 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 5 Comments
Bohemian Pizza exterior

Bohemian Pizza is a fixture in Litchfield, Connecticut. Which is quite an oddity since it’s pretty much the opposite of what Litchfield stands for. In a community full of the well-to-do, with a high concentration of stately, historic homes and a ban on fast food restaurants, Bohemian Pizza sticks out like a sore thumb–and that’s … [Read more…]

The Big Guy and I are certainly not wine connoisseurs, only dabbling in the $10 or less … [Read more…]

Ski Sundown

Sorry to disappoint, but this is not a food story. Fair warning! Saturday, I spent the afternoon photographing the mogul skiing competition at my home hill, Ski Sundown in New Hartford, CT. For a small hill, they’ve come a long way in the last few years and are now the leader in mogul skiing in … [Read more…]

What To Do, What To Do?

December 8, 2010 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry Leave a Comment

The weekend edition, a little early. Skiers in Connecticut can rejoice! Ski Sundown is planning on opening for the season on Friday at 9AM and rumor has it that Mohawk will be opening Saturday at 8:30AM. Sundown will have side-to-side coverage–no white ribbon of death here!–and if the weather cooperates, they may even have moguls … [Read more…]
