I thought about bailing on Matt and Karina on Saturday night. Just for a minute. Obviously, I wanted to hang out with them but since plans didn’t solidify til around midnight, this old fogie was ready to call it a night and head to bed. But then I remembered how much I loved those crazy…

Ever have a feeling that’s so rare you need to pause and acknowledge it? Well last week I had the urge to bake muffins and since I never want to bake I had to stop and give this feeling some attention. I don’t bake because I don’t really like it – it’s too precise. At least,…

Now that I’m further from the N/R line, I go to Eataly less frequently then I used to. After some thinking (it shouldn’t have taken me this long to figure out), I realized it’s not that far of a walk from the 6 or my apartment in general if I want to get in a…

It is NOT an urban myth, folks. Mole People aka Tunnel People aka people who live underneath the train and subway lines of New York City – they exist. In the early 90s Jennifer Toth took on the dangerous project of interviewing New York’s underground homeless. You may be accustomed to bums begging for money on…

Just because it’s a short week (thank you, Labor Day!) doesn’t mean it hasn’t been stressful. With a major client presentation creeping up on Monday I’ve had to pack a lot of work into a little time frame. I’ve also been feeling a bit under the weather. I could definitely use these reminders of all…

I recently saw a recipe that called for a mixture of dried figs and crumbled blue cheese to be stuffed into a pork tenderloin. That sounded easy, but do you know what sounds even easier? Using up the fig butter that’s still in my refrigerator. It’s all fig so the flavor is basically the same.…
