More innovation in Ridgefield! Saturday May 1st marks the grand opening of Cogolulu Cafe, new home of enthusiastic and gluten-free/casein-free baker, Mary Herrington of Sinless Confections.
Cogolulu Cafe, recently renovated and pristine down to the studs, will offer just as virtuous baked goods and savories, without offense to so many who suffer from Celiac Disease and other gluten intolerances.

But rather than compete with one another, the two honor students and their families …

It is not easy to admit to an addiction. For those who read my blog or follow me on Twitter, you know my little obsessions – chandeliers, animal prints, moss balls, handbags, good tea – the list goes on and on.
So here is a new one: anything made of elderflowers. Up until couple of months ago I didn’t even know what an elderflower was – O.K., I’m still not quite sure but I know that it tastes great!
