Oktoberfest!
October 23, 2010
Last Sunday, my friend Erich invited me to celebrate Oktoberfest at the Indian Road Cafe. It was a little later than all of the other Octoberfest’s, and had a Halloween theme!
The Flower District
September 19, 2010
On Saturday morning at the crack of dawn I woke Sean up and we headed to the flower district: I, for a good deal on beautiful flowers for my friend Ardie’s baby shower, and Sean for the photo-op I promised would be spectacular. And it was! Walls and walls of flowers!
A Tale of Two Recipes
August 23, 2010
I’ve been traveling a lot, but a few weeks ago I revisited my Shrimp Basil Ginger Curry Recipe and I made this instead: Mussels, with Basil and Ginger Curry. I marvel at how the same ingredients can taste and look so different with the substitution of the main ingredient.
A Trip to Cape May
June 30, 2010
Last weekend Sean and I visited our friends Carri and Ted at their fabulous little beach house on Cape May! I brought them a blackberry and blueberry crumb cake. (Will be posting that recipe soon. Perfect for brunch!) The beach house is named Pinky, and it has views of the most perfect sunset.
At a Party – Part 2
June 23, 2010
My friend Sara gave me a few more photos from her party. My goodness we were tired, but we had so much fun: Me with the two Nicks. Aren’t they handsome fellows?
What I Did Today
June 15, 2010
For some reason I’m exhausted so I can’t post a recipe, but I can post some pretty photos. Prepared today: Spinach, Beet and Crispy Shallot Salad with a Marsala Wine Vinaigrette. And a Traditional Egg Salad Sandwich with Bacon (ah, bacon).
Burned
June 13, 2010
It all started a few weeks ago during the Lost Series Finale: I was distracted and burned my forearm on a pot that was resting against a cast iron skillet. I was making tacos. Rushing. I didn’t realize the pot was so close to the skillet. The result was a seared forearm. It was pretty bad. People teared up when they looked at it. Tons of pain and suffering followed. I joke it still wasn’t as bad as the Lost finale, which left me wondering why I had invested 120 hours of my time in a television show. But I digress.
