  • The One Cup Coffee Maker

    You may know this about me already but there was a time, over six years ago, when I was a law student working in a law firm. And this law firm had a little coffee room and the coffee room had a machine that made individual cups of coffee; you chose your flavor–often the highlight…

  • Yogurt with Walnuts, Raisins, Honey & Mint

    As a kid, I felt the same way about plain yogurt as I did about white crayons: why do these things exist? Who would eat plain yogurt? Who would color with a white crayon? What kind of sick, twisted soul would find these things appealing? As an adult, I still feel the same way about…

  • Newsletter #8

    I try to punish those of you who don’t subscribe to my newsletter (sign-up here) but this week’s is just too good not to share: dinners at The Mark & Franny’s and brunches at The Cowgirl Hall of Fame & Dovetail. Here it is… now do you feel guilty? It’s ok, I forgive you.

  • What Kind of Drink Do You Serve at a Bachelorette Party?

    Tonight I’m hosting a bachelorette party for my dear friend Diana and we’re about to go shopping for alcohol. What kind of drink should we serve? I just polled Twitter and here’s what the Twitterverse had to say:

  • Kitchen Grease Hand Soap

    I don’t normally take pictures in restaurant bathrooms. Ok, so maybe I do, but that’s not something I like to talk about on the blog. The point is that the other day, I met my parents for lunch at Lupa (I’m going to blog about their tartufo, the best I’ve ever had, later in the…
