Blogging about what you eat and having a doting mother who reads everything you blog about what you eat is a dangerous combination. Lately, mom’s been on my case. “I can’t believe some of the stuff you’re eating!” she said to me this weekend. “Chocolate chip muffins in the middle of the night! And those…

Sunday I enjoyed a classic New York moment. My friend Ricky and I were supposed to go see Mahler’s 1st at Carnegie Hall for $10. (You can get $10 obstructed view tickets at 12 pm.) Well he called me after 12 to say there were no $10 tix, the cheapest tix were $80. I said,…

My brother would like me to tell you that in this post where I say that Michael doesn’t really like American food, that it’s a lie. He does like American food. Thank you.

Maybe it’s the Jew in me (“Let me out, you putz! It’s hot in here!”) but I feel guilty about the meals I’m about to share with you. Guilt–am I the only food blogger who feels guilty about eating good food? Maybe because it’s all so decadent. But I can shift the blame to my…

I love Bleecker Street nights. Let me explain. When a friend, loved one or acquaintance asks me: “Where should we go for I dinner?” I frequently reply: “Let’s just go down to Bleecker street and find something.” I say that because there are SO many options on Bleecker Street and in that area.

Alex Ross (one of my favorite New Yorker writers) always posts pictures of his cats on his blog. So a few days ago I rather timidly sent him a link to my Lolita video and today, to my surprise, he linked to it! (He also linked to my Bright Food Shop review which is one…

Life is busy busy busy right now. Busy busy! It’s the last week before Spring Break, so lots of work due, and my brother’s coming tomorrow, mom and dad to follow Thursday, so there was cleaning to do too. Working, cleaning–there’s no time to blog! But…my…readers…need…me… So here we are. 2:21 AM. Let’s see how…

I’ve been keeping an eye on my hits and statistics lately because we’ve been creeping towards a million hits. And then this morning it happened: Total number of hits: 1,000,085. That’s after 14 months of blogging–not so bad! Makes us feel like a fat cat for the day: Here’s to several million more!

Look at these dramatic muffins: Do you get it? I made drama masks with them. Happy face, sad face. You people are so uncultured, it sickens me. I’ve been craving chocolate chip muffins lately. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m pregnant? No, if I was pregnant I’d want chocolate chip muffins and pickles. There’s just…
