Weekend Wrapup
This one's a doozy, kids. Before I even managed to start eating dinner on Friday night, I was struck with some sort of stomach bug/food poisoning thing, which basically did me in for the next 24 hours or so. I won't go into the details — it wasn't pretty, and I'll leave it at that.

Booze, Bloggers & Bacon, Oh My!
I'm having one of those super-busy weeks where I can't believe it's Thursday already. That said, it's no surprise that I haven't yet posted about the Boozy Blogger Brunch I attended this past Sunday at the Clover Club, organized by The Dizzy Fizz. Not only was this a great chance to catch up with old

Weekend Wrapup
An excellent and fairly well-balanced three day weekend, I'd say! Friday night started with a quick stop at a birthday celebration for @Lincolnwrites, then on the Red Hook express for dinner at Fort Defiance with @livethelushlife @mysteryaction & @shotsandcuts before heading to Sunny's for Jill DeGroff's art show, where I met several folks in person

Pure Porcine Pleasure

It began even before my co-chef arrived at 9 a.m. (guests weren't due till 1, but he was slightly overeager about our cooking schedule), when I put two trays of thick-cut bacon in the oven

Kitchen Bitchin’
There are times I hate my kitchen. It's tiny. It barely has any counter space. The cabinets are awkwardly designed. There's no dishwasher. It's practically impossible to have more than one person cooking in it comfortably (well, there are exceptions). That said, the one thing I absolutely love about my kitchen is the fact that

Latke Love
Want. Now. Chanukah is almost over and I haven't had any latkes yet – I used to have a latke party for years until I got sick of having my apartment smell like a fry-o-lator for days afterwards. I will love you forever if you can get these into my greedy little hands today, especially if

Wintry Weekend Wrapup
A weekend of friends, meeting new people, family, food, fun, a solid workout, and quality couch time. After the super-busy week, I stayed in on Friday night to recover, then up early on Saturday for a long and much-needed workout. Saturday was First Saturday brunch with the beach house ladies at DuMont, followed by lingering
