Last night was all about zucchini. I had found a recipe for zucchini soup that looked promising so I headed to Fairway on my lazy Sunday to pick up the ingredients. I assumed I would end up with some extra zucchini so I picked up a few additional ingredients to try out a fun zucchini…

It took me literally the entire summer, but on the last official Friday afternoon of Summer 2012, I finally made it to Birreria, the rooftop bar at Eataly. The weather was simply perfect for outdoor drinks and nibbles so we spent a few hours chilling on the roof. The food is good, but the selection and…

As a native of New Orleans, Susan knows hurricanes. It was only fitting she and Greg threw a hurricane party on Saturday while we were all stuck indoors, anticipating the onslaught of Hurricane Irene’s wind and rain that turned out to be little more than a drizzle. We blasted “Come on Eileen” (changing the words…

I’m a big fan of the current NY Times restaurant critic, Sam Sifton, but I also have mad respect for his predecessor, Frank Bruni, who wrote Born Round not long after finishing his stint as Times critic. Ladies, let me tell you, weight issues are not just a girl thing. Bruni chronicles about 40 years of…

After a couple weeks of late nights and early mornings at work, we made it through through today’s client presentation and I can finally relax and sleep. Oh sleep, I’ve missed you. Did you miss me? I can’t wait to close my peepers in a few short minutes (which, incidentally, would be about hours earlier…

So I skipped last week’s “3 on Thursday” entry. Let’s call a spade a spade; I skipped blogging all together for a week. Between being home for five nights and then coming back to one of the craziest work weeks in a while, the blog was the last thing on my mind. But now I’m…

Andrew had a conflict last night and I have one next week, which means our True Blood dinners had to be put on hold. While I have no idea how I am going to call on the strength to keep myself from watching for two weeks, it will all be worth it when we do…

First and foremost, I must thank author Tatiana de Rosnay, who educated me on the despicable Vel d’Hiv event. Like the characters in the book, I had no idea this happened. In July of 1942, French police and French buses – not German – rounded up thousands of Jews in Paris while French citizens turned…

It’s started. Work has gotten busy. I definitely needed everything from today’s 3 on Thursday to remind me to keep a little fun and whimsy in my life…or else I’ll go insane. I have no idea how sangria from a paper carton will taste, but I’ll try anything once. I’m no alcohol snob, but I…
