Win a cookbook, make some fish

I was recently contacted by a lovely woman at Yummr.  Never heard of it? I hadn’t either, but according to the website, it’s a “community of folks who are passionate about good food and drink and enjoy sharing their obsession and connecting with others.”
Being that I’m passionate about food – and most certainly drink – [...]

I attract the crazies

Sorry for the late post, I was out running around all day.  Uptown and downtown and uptown and downtown and Brooklyn and the nail salon and Whole Foods and Starbucks and it’s a tough life, okay?
And yes.  I did go to Starbucks again.  I’m actually quite glad I did because while I was there a [...]

Testimonial

I don’t have any pictures of food from this weekend, but I did eat.  A lot.  Some of the high points:  a chocolate ice cream cone from Bittersweet, guacamole, and many, many more of those cookies.
I also made black bean and corn salad for the barbecue, minus the shrimp, and used it as a dip [...]

Vacation!

Well, not really.  I’m off to a bachelorette party for the weekend, though, which means I’ll be drinking a lot of this:

This is not about food.

They hardly have any vegetarian options in the first place, but last night they were out of veggie burgers. Which means I ate about a fourth of a [...]

Starting the day off right

This morning I went to the gym, per usual, and I was using the assisted pull-up machine, which is right next to a huge window that faces the street. So I’m going up and down, thinking about how buff I’m going to be one day, when all of a sudden, this body slams up [...]

Heaven

Sorry for the little hiatus there.  It’s been like a thousand degrees here everyday and I’ve been too busy whining to post.
However, I would say that this pretty much sums up my eating this weekend:

I have been putting this mainly on pretzels and my fingers.  I’m pretty sure that’s how it was meant to be [...]

This is not my fault

I had to go buy milk a few minutes ago because we are all out and I wanted to have a smoothie for lunch.  So I go to the little natural foods store near our apartment and I find the milk and then I realize that I only have $4 and this is a problem [...]

Not my day

This morning I was in the shower, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, the curtain – rod and all – came crashing down on my head.
It was a mess.  I had soap in my eyes, I couldn’t get out from under it, the entire bathroom got soaked, and the whole time, I [...]
