I’ve been doing a lot of ‘winging it’ lately. It’s a difficult skill to acquire as a control freak but I’m trying. It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that winging it is a difficult skill to acquire. We’ve never been trained to do that. Our whole lives are programmed from the moment we’re born until [...]

I love Farmer’s Markets. Good ones. Big ones. Ones that don’t have booths selling auto insurance. Ones where people walk around with straws coming out of coconuts eating mangoes on sticks. Ones where random bands play random songs, and people say hello and walk their dogs. Ones where you buy herbs you’ll never actually plant [...]

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 [...]

I love going to fine restaurants where food is paired with the perfect wine. There’s just something about having professional direction of your alcoholic intake that’s so sophisticated. Makes the food taste better and makes me feel smart. For instance, a white flaky fish baked with capers, lemon and bread crumbs is delightful with a [...]

Oh no you didn’t. Oh yes I did. Yeah, I’m going there. You know it’s been bothering you all month so you might as well start thinking about it now considering Thanksgiving is this Thursday. Now, before I continue I should duly note that 1) my mother-in-law is not coming for Thanksgiving and 2) if she [...]

Have you read Bringing Up Bebe yet? If so, I’d really like to talk about it with you. I’m so wishing I were French right now for so many reasons, but mostly because having kids who don’t require inordinate amounts of attention and can keep themselves occupied for one flippin’ hour would be really [...]

I think a lot can be learned about people by their use of ‘Reply All.’ Originally created as a work tool to help disseminate information (similar to that of an office memo back in the ice age), today the ‘Reply All’ button, IMHO, is grossly overused. Maybe people think they’re being funny and want others [...]

Been struggling with blog materials lately (can you tell? last post was more than two weeks ago) when it dawned on me that Passover coincides with Easter this year, almost to the day. And while I’m still scouring the shelves to find flour-free products, dodging the bountiful aisles of Peeps and chocolate bunnies because I’m [...]

Hanukkah. It’s the holiday of lights. Let me say that again. Hanukkah. Chanukkah. Or is it Chanukah? Hanukah? Whatever. It’s the HOLIDAY OF LIGHTS. So why does my house look like this? When my neighbors’ houses look like this? If my Jewish guilt wasn’t enough to keep me up at night now I have to [...]

*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 [...]

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.
