Friday, May 21, 2010 at 4:27PM Taking a month off drinking in the same month you start a new job, paint your apartment, do a cooking demonstration for 30+ people, and deal with the day to day nonsense going on is a terrible idea. Looking back on the brilliant idea I had to not drink in the month of May was probably one of the worst things my crazy brain conjured up.
Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 10:25PM The queen of cocktails, the connoisseur of wine, the sipper of tequila is jumping on the wagon. That’s right. I’m hanging up my drinking shoes, at least for the month of May. It hit me last week that in about 5 weeks, I’m going to be putting on my skimpiest bikini, my SPF 4 sunblock (haha!), and basking in the sunlight. The problem, you may ask? I’m not ready for it! And I figure, the easiest way to cut calories is to cut drinking. I’m going to take it one week at a time.
Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 3:34PM My favorite thing about summer, and the part I miss the most, is grilling out. Nothing tops spending a day by the pool, then coming home to throw something on the grill. The smoky flavor that subtle comes through the taste of whatever marinade you decide to put on your meat or fish…the juices of a burger sizzling over the hot coals…that slightly charred smell that signals perfection. Mmmmmm…I can almost smell the fire!
Monday, November 30, 2009 at 11:51PM I’ve come to the conclusion that I can rarely just enjoy a meal in a restaurant. I always find myself wondering what I would do differently, how I would tailor the dish to my likes, and what other flavors, textures, or colors (weird, I know) would work with it. Lunch my first day in Napa was no different.

As much as I love fall, I hate that deep bone chill it can leave you with. You know the one…only a steamy shower will warm you up, and sometimes, even that isn’t enough. Especially the day after getting back from Napa. Where it was 80 and sunny. I knew I wanted to make something fun for dinner with it being my first night back and all.
