Mindy Kaling seems like the kind of girl with whom I could stay up all night and gab. She puts on no front and is, therefore, incredibly accessible. We don’t always want to admit we enjoy watching trash tv, but she happily does, which makes her endearing and her writing nice and zeitgeist-y. Essays explaining…

I’ve been pretty slack with the posting in the last week, but that’s only because I thought I had nothing to say. But then I realized I completely forgot to blog about the going away party I helped throw for Greg and Susan. I’ll admit, this party was thrown begrudgingly on my part since I…

I’m actually rather impressed with myself for keeping up with the blogging this week since the last two days have been long and draining. I’ve been in a two-day meeting that lasted from 8:30-5:30 each day, which means I am very happy Friday is just around the corner. Although I’ve been locked in a conference…

Monday was not my most glorious day at work, and when I got home I was anxious to the max. Since a meal can not be made out of Ben and Jerry’s alone (though I tried, believe me, and creme brulee was my poison of choice), I decided to do a little cooking. I made…

Perhaps I should have given you warning that 3 on Thursday would be cancelled last week due to Thanksgiving, but I figured you would all be too full of turkey to notice. Now that we’re back in action, here’s the latest: This may shock you, but I was a private school kid. A prepster all…

Tonight I went all vegetarian and made a spinach burger. Not a burger topped with spinach, a burger made of spinach. I sautéed spinach with onion and then mixed in a bowl with egg, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, and spices (cumin, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes). Once combined, I formed the spinach mixture into patties and…

Traditionally, everyone parties it up on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. My friends and I usually partake, but this year we all passed out on our respective couches at around 9:45 PM. After acknowledging that we are now old and no longer the rabbel-rousers we once were, we decided on a do-over on Friday night. No passing…

As usual, blogging has taken a backseat to family time while I was home for Thanksgiving. Now that I’m back and attempting to reacclimate myself to normal life, it’s time for a Thanksgiving post. The usual suspects for the main meal were all there, but what changed were the appetizers. For the fourth year in…
