Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I thrive in a busy environment, but after a month of living inside the belly of a whale of busy, I am ready for things to slow down a bit. Things have become blissfully normal. After I posted a picture on Twitter of me sipping my coffee (not the one pictured above), the coffeecupview tumblr asked if…

Depressed. That’s how I feel now that Matt and Karina’s wedding weekend has come and gone. It was pretty much the best weekend ever, and I want to repeat it in full every week. I was surrounded by all my family and friends for four and a half days. Add top shelf liquor, serious dancing,…

I loved having a 4-day weekend. I spent the first two days running from event to event and the next two days barely leaving my bed. It’s all about balance. I have wanted to see Clybourne Park since I read an article about it in New York Magazine back in April. I loved the idea…

Today is my last day in the office until Tuesday thanks to the glorious long Labor Day weekend. Many of you think of Labor Day weekend as the last official days of Summer. I think of it as the first official days of football season. Different strokes. I love when Sarah comes into town because…

Last week was a bad week. I’m pretty sure every opportunity for stress to enter both my personal and professional life was fully exploited. Just breathe…. Somebody brought Funky Chunky into the office the other day. There is a pretzel version with pecans, a popcorn version with almonds (I may have the nuts backwards), and…
