Since this is both a cooking and a parenting blog I should probably offer something up for Mother’s Day. Okay. My hope is that I’ll be doing neither on Sunday (cooking nor parenting). My cooking recommendations are as follows: Breakfast: The Four Seasons Mid-morning snack: Haagen Dazs Lunch: The Ritz Carlton Afternoon Snack: Payard Dinner: Daniel And one last before [...]

There’s nothing funnier than watching a bunch of 40-something adults act like drunken teenagers. I think that’s why god invented St. Patrick’s Day…to get a good laugh watching his peeps try desperately to preserve their youth. I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon at an outdoor music festival observing hundreds of scantily clad/beer belly [...]

I’m having a really difficult time concentrating on work this morning. Probably because my daughter is home from school sick and she’s watching a marathon of the dumbest show in the history of dumb shows: Jessie. Look, I’m as guilty as the next girl of watching every episode of Full House and Saved by the [...]

While I’m doing this, might I also suggest someone (preferably an expert) address the kids’ version? Why, I even have [...]

Had some turkey, spent quality time with the relatives, blah, blah, blah….they’re predicting snow tomorrow so get ready for a: No Snow Snow Day (this is a link to a previous recipe because I’m too lazy to come up with a new entry) I’m recycling this post because I [...]

*disclaimer* The following comments may or may not pertain to me. Thanksgiving. You can’t avoid it. It’s coming. In two days. And whether you love it or hate it, whether it brings together people you love or people you loathe, there’s one thing that rings true for all. It could possibly be the culmination of [...]

You gotta love New Yorkers. They spend days preparing for the ‘storm of the century’ and emptying the shelves of Zabar’s in a matter of minutes only to be “disappointed” (and I quote) by Hurricane Irene. Impress us. Show us the power. If you can’t make it make it there, you won’t make it anywhere. [...]

I love Sour Patch Kids. I'd eat Ranch dressing on my shoe. My kids think I like my computer more than I like them. I have road rage.
