Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I’ve been taking it very very easy this week in preparation for my big 10K this weekend. I’m not nervous yet, but I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune once it’s actually race time. Have you ever seen a green plum? Me neither. But they exist, and I found them at Trader Joe’s. And…

This past weekend included 4th of July in the city, a rager of a birthday party in Connecticut, and then margaritas back in the city on Sunday night. It certainly felt like summer with lots of good time vibes. This weekend should be just as packed with fun since it’s Rebekah’s wedding weekend, which is…
