My Idiot College Friends
Recently I spent a good chunk of the day with a friend and his buddies from college. First we went out for a few drinks, then met up with them later along with another slew of his college friends. As I listened to them joke around and watched them interact, at some point I commented

Hold the Line
For the record, this is the sunset from the ferry on the way home. I didn’t get a picture of the stunning pink sunrise I saw Sunday morning. Another great weekend, including an fantabulous Saturday night dinner from Iron Chef Joe and his sous-chef team, a rockin’ jam session on the beach, a four-mile run,

Faux Fourth
Although it wasn’t really the fourth, it was still a blast, and I still got to sing the Star Spangled Banner (and there was still pig . . . and beans, and yucca, and some killer hot sauce). Pictures from the weekend are here.

A Wonderful, Magical Animal
Off to the beach for the 3rd annual pig roast (here are photos from the past two years). Speaking of pig, I loved reading about this chef who got a new pig tattoo, partially inspired by a Simpsons episode. Don’t worry — I’m not planning on getting another one anytime soon.

What’s in Your Fridge?
It was fun to peek in this week’s Time Out NY and see my friend Rachel standing next to her fridge, illustrating what the refrigerator of "single, professional women who live on their own" looks like. Between that and the similar food blogger meme, I figured I’d throw mine into the mix. Hard to see

Lobster Roll Wars
Rob (from London, sniffle) pointed out this article about Rebecca Charles, owner of Pearl Oyster Bar, who is suing Ed McFarland, her former sous chef, claiming he has stolen so many elements of her restaurant and incorporated into Ed’s Lobster Bar that it amounts to intellectual property theft. I may have to agree with her

Non-Beach Beach Weekend
Given that I wasn’t at the beach I spent a hell of a lot of time outside. After Jenn’s barbecue I spent some quality time on Jimmy’s gorgeous and tranquil rooftop (I’m going to plant myself there one day and refuse to leave — it’s that comfortable). Today I met up with Frank and Lauren

Extra Tasty
A few weeks ago I bought three new dresses. Now, I’m not one of those women who’s into clothes and fashion in any significant way — all I know is that the dresses that are in the stores right now have a shape that is particuarly flattering for me, so I stocked up. I was

Piggishness
I noticed yesterday that someone got here by doing a Google search for the term "pork butt." Now, thankfully, I’m not the number one result for this search, but I am on the first page. I also read this fantastic article in yesterday’s NTY Dining section about the New York restaurant scene’s current fascination with

Meat Coma
Recovering from today’s Big Apple BBQ Block Party — so much for yesterday’s run! Had a great weekend in addition to the meatfest — dinner at Pacifico on Friday night with Jenn D., the long run, a trip to the airport to say hello to Jennie, who was on her way from Jamaica to Maine,
