Two firsts happened tonight: my first cooking project in my new New York apartment (sans garbage disposal) and my first pie. Well, ok I won’t lie: a long time ago I made a pumpkin pie, but I was heavily drugged and living in a nudist colony so it doesn’t count. And besides, this is the…

Today I went for the first time to the Chelsea Whole Foods. It completely blew me away. It was gigantic and everything was so plentiful. Rows upon rows of fruits and veggies and a salad bar way more diverse than anything I’ve seen in the other Whole Foods I’ve visited. I’ll be there a lot.Upon…

After the Thai food was consumed tonight, I began to do what I always do which is, basically, dump it all in the sink and turn on the garbage disposal. Only: where’s the switch? On that note, where’s the disposal?What’s that you say? No disposal?NO GARBAGE DISPOSAL!How am I supposed to dispose of my garbage!…

Maybe you can order Thai in Atlanta, I’m not here to compare apples and peaches. However I never attempted to order Thai in Atlanta. I did attempt to order Thai in New York tonight and it came promptly, despite the fact that I was out of the Thai place’s range. The place was called Rungsit…

No, I didn’t cook for you tonight, I’m afraid. Instead, though, I built a desk. Look:Today involved much walking. First a walk to Bed, Bath and Beyond (where I saw Kyan from Queer Eye; shouldn’t he be shopping for hair products?), then The Container Store, Staples and The Door Store all on a quest for…

Finally, my dishes, kitchen equipment and all other worldy possessions have arrived and my living room is floor to ceiling with big heavy boxes. As a result, no food blogging tonight but before you know it, I’ll be cooking again! Meanwhile, how about that Romanian gymanstics team? That’s what I call vaulting.

Months ago, mom talked about our River Cafe reservation.”The weekend after you move to New York, we’re going to the River Cafe for my birthday,” she said. “It’s very special: you should be very excited.”To be honest, I wasn’t that excited. The only thing I knew about the River Cafe was that Jerry Seinfeld and…

It pains me to post these pictures, not because of incriminating content or the caddle prod I’m sitting on, but because the thought of food disgusts me right now. That is the effect of a visit from my parents: they suck my will to eat.Ugh, food. I hate it. How do we eat so much…

My parents and brother came in to town last night because it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow (yikes! I better get a card) and, of course, to see my new apartment. We ate last night at Fresco’s which was decent and mostly tasty, but not worth blogging about since I blogged about it last time we…
