ShareIn high school I was labeled a bacon thief by my friend Jill’s mom. After sitting up on her kitchen counter one morning, eating slice after slice of bacon as her mother fried away (and assuming I was being incredibly charming, of course), Jill finally had to pull me aside and gently break it to [...]

ShareThe guy at the end of the hall is my least favorite person on the planet, and I don’t even know his name.
He’s one of those know-it-all types that would argue that the sky is green and everyone else is color-blind. He’s also extremely unhygienic (which wouldn’t bother me really if he wasn’t such [...]

ShareThere’s a crazy lady in my building who has a crush on my husband. Granted, he’s tall and blue eyed and impossibly charming in a completely non-sleezy way. And there’s definitely a dearth of young, attractive men riding the elevators over here. But still. It’s a little much. She even found [...]

ShareMy childhood friend Laura always had the best lunches. The lunch table was generally divided into sections. Those of us who ate and those of us who didn’t (I went to an all girls school. The not eating thing was somewhat of a problem in our later years). But there was one [...]

ShareIt was an all sports, all the time weekend around here. Not only are our beloved Yankee’s trying for a World Series win over Philadelphia, but my husband’s BC Eagles were playing on Saturday, and Sunday brings out NFL mania in us all.
Sunday was also the ING New York City Marathon, arguably the best day [...]

ShareThere is something so deliciously earthy and home-spun about a crock of steaming onion soup on a chilly night. Slurping the winey broth while wrapping the strings of gooey Gruyere around my spoon (the perfect bite), I feel like I could close my eyes and be transported back to the turn of the century markets [...]

ShareAt the Greenmarkets yesterday, there was a sign that said ” last day for peaches,” and that’s when it hit me. Summer is over. For real. Don’t get me wrong. I love fall. I was born in the fall. Halloween is in the fall, Libra is my favorite sign, I love Sunday football, and Thanksgiving [...]

ShareIt’s been a whirlwind around here lately. The lazy days of summer have officially flown the coop. Which is why I love this dinner. It’s a weeknight fave around East 73rd Street, and for good reason. It’s healthy, easy and tastes, well, quite good, if I do say so myself. Make [...]

August and September are probably my favorite time of year to eat. The produce is glorious, that perfect mix between summer and fall. Berries and zucchini and melons are still plentiful, but the apples have already started to appear, and by mid-September we’ll start to see pumpkins and brussels and pears, oh my! The fairest [...]
