We’re getting a dog.
Stop rolling your eyes! Yes, I know we’ve said this countless times before. Yes, I will be calling you again for the name of your dog walker and will debate with you the merits of “single dog walks” versus “multiple dog walks.” I will make you listen to me worry about whether [...]
What is today?! I thought I had more time! Where did October go?
For those of you looking for my Daring Baker Challenge, I promise, I will have a pizza here for you soon. Until then, please check out the BEAUTIFUL pizzas on the Daring Baker Blogroll.

We were good about cooking this past weekend, but if you added up our grocery bills, we still spend way too much money on food. These baby back ribs, though, were a great deal. If you go out to eat and order a rack of ribs in NYC, they will usually run you about $30. [...]
Last week I was twittering about the list of the San Francisco Chronicle’s Best Recipes for the past 20 years that were making me drool all over my keyboard. Fellow blogger Bethany from That’s Not Great had a the excellent idea of splitting the list and each of us making and blogging about our [...]
Fall is my favorite season, but it comes with one of the most cumbersome, awful, time consuming and tiring chores EVER. The changing of the wardrobes.

I went to the store for pork shoulder and came back with lamb loin. That’s what they all say, right? Actually, I spent 10 minutes milling around the meat isles completely lost, unsure what I was going to cook for dinner. It’s like all my cooking sense flew out my ears and I didn’t know [...]
This weekend was the New York Food and Wine Festival, hosted by the Food Network, Travel & Leisure Magazine, Food & Wine Magazine and ShopRite, among others. It was held in New York, although if you missed it, you can catch the Food Festival in South Beach, Florida, February 19-22, 2009.
I was looking forward to [...]
It feels good after a stressful week to get into the kitchen where everything can just slow down. The chopping, the stirring and the smells help me relax and forget about the outside world. This week was particularly challenging and I just wanted to grab a bottle of wine and my TiVOed episodes of ANTM [...]
