Food, Fun, & Family
There are times when I feel extremely fortunate. As you may or may not know, I am a child of divorce. My parents divorced when I was three, and each parent has been remarried for around 25 years at this point. I’m sure you could go on and on with a pop psychology diagnosis of

First — thank you all for your get-well wishes. I have pretty much just been fighting off a nasty cold, although I think I finally lost the fight today. No puking, for those who asked, but I’m the biggest sick-whiner ever. I hate being sick. I’m convinced that your e-cards (thanks Erika), hugs, and soup

Booze as Art
Just wanted to share a few pictures from Otto the other night. Feeling very artsy/NYC photoblogger that night. I’m not a Grappa fan, but we were given a bit of the pear grappa (the one on the far left) to taste — and it was pretty damn good!

Clearly, the Holidays are Here

Outed!
After Thanksgiving at my Mom’s, I traveled to Virginia to meet my Dad, stepmom, brother and sister at a farmhouse in the Shenandoah Valley. The farmhouse belongs to friends of the family from back in the day when we lived in Washington D.C. — they have a set of twins a month younger than my
