Hello, internet!
This is AmeliaMac, filling in briefly for AnonNY while she’s carousing around Ireland with Sports Fan. A while back, when the lovely AnonNY mentioned that she was looking for some guest posters to keep her blog occupied while she was vacationing, I thought – I can totally do that! I don’t currently have a [...]

Hello. I am Matty. My Mama and Papa are in Ireland, as you know.  I would like to take this opportunity to clear up a question you may have asked yourself a time or two about my me and my parents.
As you can see from photographic evidence, I wear a coat of fur. It is [...]

Last Saturday Sports Fan and I had date night. It was touch-and-go because he was working all day, but we made it out. We started at Toloache Mexican Bistro for dinner. It is definitely a touristy place and the margaritas aren’t very good, but the food was surprisingly delicious. We started out with guacamole and [...]

If you don’t recall, I’m heading to Ireland next week to see the Emerald Isle and the man who needs no introductions:

Oh yeah. I’ve lined up a few equally cool people to do some posts for me while I’m drinking Guinness and, uh, drinking Guinness. Because I can’t let my fans friends down. But I’d [...]

Lately I have been making a contientious effort to use ingredients I have in the pantry to make dinner. The goal is three-fold: (1) to break the bad habit of buying EVERYTHING I need for each recipe, which costs a lot of money per meal, (2) to use up a lot of random ingredients I [...]

We have a little furry guest staying with us at Casa de AnonNY for the next few days. My friend, Denise, is out of town for work and she left her little Schnauser, Paddington, with us.  Oh my goodness, he is just the cutest, sweetest little guy ever.  The poor baby was abused as a [...]

I’ve only eaten jambalaya a few times at restaurants and never in N’Orleans, so I’m not sure how this measures up to the REAL stuff, but, man, is it good. Lots of good heat, nice and meaty and even better as leftovers. Actually the picture is from leftovers because I couldn’t even wait to take [...]

I could tell you that I’ve been off on an exotic adventure the past week, so I couldn’t blog, but really I’ve thrown myself a little pity party. So pitiful, in fact, that there were no balloons or streamers. (Plenty of alcohol, though! Wish u were here, xoxo!)  I’m sure my Twitter peeps wanted to [...]

Sports Fan and I are always musing about leaving New York and moving to another city. But hubris prevents us from admitting that a city exists that is as good as New York City. New York is great, but it is expensive! If we were going to move, where should we go? To your city? [...]

I was at the Farmers’ Market this past weekend and saw some home grown rhubarb. I learned recently that Sports Fan likes it and I had never worked with it. Obviously this meant I had to buy some. On Monday I had some strawberries on hand and the rhubarb, but all day I went back [...]
