Coming Down Hot!

Welcome back to the airwaves!

After a pandemic hiatus, CDH is back with Halloween episode all about candy and not a moment too soon.

I went back to the archives to retrieve this conversation with my son, Remi as we talk about Halloween, Trick or Treating, and, of course, candy. 

It's a sweet way to brighten your day and get a tid bit or two of candy trivia along the way.

And as always thank you for listening!

The continuation of my conversation with my sister, Jane Kenyon Lawrence.

In Episode 2, I explore the idea of memorable moments in food, drink, travel and life. 

While creating this episode I had the opportunity to talk with two amazing women, Jane Lawrence and Veronica Hinke.

I begin with  my conversation with my sister, Jane Kenyon Lawrence . When you are a Kenyon, there is no shortage of memorable moments that involve food and drink. But to embellish that with a global perspective- years of traveling the world, you suddenly become privy to  stories that are  fantastic, romantic, and alluring, that demand to be told.  

I also had the good fortune to sit down with Chicago Tribune food writer Veronica Hinke to converse about ,not only her life covering the food and drink beat of Chicago, but also her recently released book, The Last Night On The Titanic… Unsinkable Drinking, Dining, and Style. Like a kid in a historical candy store,I will tell you, that  taking in the stories and anecdotes surrounding that fateful voyage in 1912 was, without question, as enticing as one could imagine.

So, enjoy this foray into Memorable Moments. To me, It is a pleasant reminder that of the joie de vivre that we all possess and how rich the narrative of our lives can be.

In this episode, host Sally Kenyon interviews Chef Esther Parriss of Esther's Mexican Restaurant on Drummond Island Mi.,  recounts her experience as a coming -of- age chef and recounts the family history of such prized recipes like the legendary apple dumplings. With a touch of whimsy, nostalgia, and heart, Ms. Kenyon spins her tale of growing up "foodie."
