I’m not sure, but I think that my blog is becoming a food blog. That certainly wasn’t my intention. But during winter it seems that when I’m not at work, I’m cooking or baking. So maybe I just have a seasonal food blog. Just look over at my category cloud…Food and Drink is one of…
rant of the day – toddler edition
So the Gregster and I went out to dinner Thursday night to Texas Roadhouse. They serve a great grilled chicken salad (with real crispy bacon bits!). Anywho, at a table near us was a young family. They allowed their very young toddler to just roam the restaurant with mom following behind. It was a busy…
dinner tonight
Since I’m off today, I thought I would take the time to make a delicious soup. I found a recipe for roasted-potato fennel soup in the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. This was Ina’s first cookbook and it has many of the recipes that made her gourmet grocery store, the Barefoot Contessa, a hit in the Hamptons….
my cure for winter blahs
I couldn’t resist this bouquet of orange tulips at the store this morning. There’s nothing like a fresh bunch of tulips to brighten the winter.
feta salsa
Happy Saturday everyone! I actually have a Saturday off work, and it’s been delightful. Greg and I went to the movies and saw the Academy Award nominated Slumdog Millionaire. It was really good.

There are rumors that the cult-film Waiting for Guffman may become a full-on Broadway Musical. If that’s the case, we’re heading to NYC for opening night. Read all about the rumor here. After you’ve read the article watch one of my favorite clips from the movie.
why my father retired to florida
10 inches of snow today on top of what we have already received. Haven’t seen our lawn since before the new year. Thank goodness for condos and snowplows. I can’t imagine having to shovel all of this from our driveway.
irritated…and a little hungry too
I ran short on time this morning, I wanted to have extra time to drive to work in the snow and ice. So I didn’t pack a lunch. I figured I would get soup or a sammie at the cafe in our building. On my way to work I passed McD’s and craved a bacon,…
banana espresso chocolate chip muffins
I made some muffins to take to work tomorrow. I found the recipe in a new cookbook that I purchased last week called Baked: New Frontiers in Baking by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. I’ve seen Matt a couple of times on Martha Stewart’s talk show. They own a bakery called Baked in Brooklyn. The…
