As a certified wine professional, I've traveled to this region multiple times to taste the wines and gain a better understanding of the culture and terroir. To learn more about what makes the Finger Lakes so special, I also reached out to three notable figures in the region's wine scene: Christopher Bates, a master sommelier, chef, and owner of the region's Element Winery; Scott Osborn, the president and co-owner of Fox Run Vineyards; and Bob Madill, a board member of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation. Read More.

Getting the Most Out of Physical Therapy

The use of physical therapy is generally for those who are recovering from some sort of surgery, accident, condition (like stroke), or for athletes.  Actually, it is also for those who simply have mobility issues (like arthritis) or some weakness or simply pain from wear and tear on joints and tendons.  Read More.

Finding a New Hair Stylist

It can be difficult to find a new hair stylist.  Yes.  Your hair will grow back and you can do something else, but in the meantime you feel like a clown. There are several ways to approach your search. Read More.

Chowders

A chowder is a thick soup.  We associate it with clams or vegetables but could also feature meat, as you will see.  Generally, the dish starts with a butter and flour mixture called a roux and has a base of milk and/or cream.  There are exceptions (Manhattan style) with a tomato base.  Chowders are associated with the upper east coast of North America, specifically Atlantic Canada and New England.  They are frequently served with saltines. Read more.
