Weekend Wrapup
It was brought to my attention recently that my weekend wrapups sound exhausting. Let me point out that this Saturday I spent an enormous portion of my day on my couch reading and watching Harry Potter movies. So there.

Happy Chanukah!
A while back, I alluded to eating a bunch of fried food. Here's why: my first full piece in Time Out New York! It's a round up of fried foods "for Chanukah," although many of them are not Kosher, to say the least. I just got the print version, which looks fantastic as well. My

It’s Slow Cooker Season!
Did I mention that I love my slow cooker? Many thanks again to my brother, Bill, for getting it for me even though I was originally unsure about it. I'm about to head out to work, I've loaded it up, and when I come home tonight, I'll have lentil soup. Add a salad and a
