  • And We’re Off!

    Off to the woods for our 8th (?) annual OJ — the October soJourn, this year to VT. I’m sure I’ll return with scads of pictures, several tasty recipes, and tons of nauseatingly-gushy-sweet things to say about how amazing my friends are. For a preview, read last year’s entry.

  • Welcome to the Working Week*

    Back from a completely relaxing weekend in Kismet. Not as many pictures, or as many people as last time, but once again, I am so happy that I got a chance to escape a bit this weekend. I even got in a beach day — yes, the weather cooperated enough for us to have a

  • Rants o’ Mine

    Why is it that people have not yet adopted the simple rules of walking etiquette? When you are walking down a crowded New York street and you want to get out of the way of an oncoming pedestrian, you are supposed to veer to the right. TO THE RIGHT, people. Like when you’re driving. Get

  • Amalga-Love and Smooches

    As usual, I’m a little too tired to do much else, but I wanted to post the pictures from the Mates’ 20th anniversary gala weekend. The Mates, or Amalgamates, is the Tufts coed a cappella singing group, in which I was not only a member, but president and business manager as well, not to mention

  • Pictures Coming Soon

    Had a fantastic weekend and will post and upload pictures tomorrow (I’m having some technical difficulties uploading the photo file). In the meantime, here’s a subtle reminder for those of you who haven’t already done so: Get off your lazy ass and

  • Another New York Moment

    Given the surreal and scary New York moment I had yesterday, it was somewhat fitting to have another completely contrasting New York moment last night. I met up with the new Mr. & Mrs. C to have some dinner and look at some wedding pictures. In the midst of the first album, Augie’s cell phone

  • A New York Moment

    I’ll admit it — I’m a New Yorker. I’ve lived here for over a decade post-college, and grew up outside the city. But until now, I have managed to avoid some of the more dramatic and/or dangerous moments — things that, to outsiders, may seem somewhat stereotypical to life here in the Big Apple. Knock

  • Well That’s a Relief

    “Here’s the skinny for women on one possible way to keep from getting fat: Stay single. A new study by Texas Tech University says women who live in family situations, households with four or more people, are more likely to be obese than those who live on their own.” [via NY Post]

  • Catching Up

    For some reason it seems like I haven’t had the time to post as much lately. Maybe it’s because I’m busy, but maybe it’s because all my food-related writing is going to Gothamist Food, and the rest of my life isn’t as much fun to write about with all the food stripped out of it!

  • A Sweet and Healthy New Year

    Whew. Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m incredibly busy, yet I have nothing much to show for it. What the hell have I been doing, and why am I so damn exhausted? Well, let’s see. Work is heating back up. I’m trying to clean up my financial act a bit, with the long-term goal of
