ShareThe news streaming in from Japan is staggering, heartbreaking, and impossible to escape. I cry every time I look at images. I had a blurb about our trip to Barbados all ready to go. I can’ t bring myself to post it. It was a wonderful vacation but it seems so trivial in the face [...]

ShareThose of you who reside in the Northeast can attest to the fact that this feels like one of the longest winters in history. It’s only February, yet I find myself longing for spring and warm breezes earlier and more often than I have in years.

ShareI hold a very special place in my heart for chicken salad. Growing up in Baltimore, it was a menu main stay for pretty much every occasion: bridal showers, baby showers, buffets, cocktail parties, tailgates. Name an event and a Baltimoron will find a way to get chicken salad on the menu.
The perennial favorites hail [...]

ShareAs a kid, I’d get to request at least one meal per week. Mom would sit at the kitchen table on Sunday, pen and paper in hand, and ask everyone what they wanted for dinner over the next five days. It usually didn’t go that well.
Asking on Sunday what someone wants to eat on Wednesday [...]

ShareMy senior year of college, I lived with three of my best friends in a house just off campus, on South Sixth Street (206, to be exact) in Lewisburg, PA. Many of the off campus houses at Bucknell were named, so people rarely knew the addresses, but if you said “Red Brick is having kegs [...]

ShareI wax poetic (maybe that’s a stretch) about New York City a lot on this blog. It truly is a dynamic and interesting place to live. But there are several things that I’ll not miss when we leave. Given that I’m feeling a little conflicted about the move to the ‘burbs, I figured I’d start [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
