On a Mission

Yesterday, I awoke on a mission. Luckily—for both my taste buds and dishware—this mission did not involve devising a microwaveable strawberry syrup. Nor did it involve tackling the mound of writing projects that has kidnapped me from the blogosphere as of late. Though, perhaps, it should have. And, perhaps, I should not have just admitted [...]

Oh Hello, Portobello

First things first. Let’s address several things about the creepy webcam picture below.   I am not naked. I am, however, sporting one of these fashionable get-ups post-shower. I always look like the Victoria’s Secret model featured in the above link when donning said get-up. Lies. In reality, I often cook immediately after showering. So [...]

And it comes in the form of… … Gigi! (Otherwise known as, and mistaken for, Dora.) For any new readers who’ve not yet had the pleasure of [...]

A Laughing Cow & a Hungry Girl

I have a special place in my heart for la vaca que ríe. ¿La vaca que ríe? Oh, that’s just español for The Laughing Cow. I’m sure you’re not surprised that I have a sentimental attachment to a charmingly convivial cow—especially one responsible for creamy queso. Still, allow me to elaborate. Once upon a time, [...]

(Yes, I realize that challah is not kosher for Passover—but who am I to suppress the irresistible allure of the overdone [...]

When It Rains…

…I bake. Oh, that’s not how the saying goes? Well, that’s definitely how it went this weekend. If you’ve not heard, the skies that hover above NYC—the same ones that just a day before had begun to resemble the likes of springtime—decided to open up wide and bestow a violent deluge upon its city. Blackouts [...]

A Taste of Primavera

The español word of el día: primavera. Primavera means spring. Spring means fabuloso weather, fresh produce and a general influx in reasons to love life. So when Wednesday decided to play dress-up as primavera, I awoke in a state of general gleefulness—and with a surge of extra endorphins. I sprung (pun definitely intended) out of [...]

In Defense Of Carbs

To continue my proclamation of amor for my favorite food group, let’s play a little game of name that tune. I love carbs, carbs, carbs, carbs Carbs, I do adore Sound familiar? No? Okay, maybe it’s not a real song. Maybe I just replaced the word carbs for girls in Jay-Z’s “Girls, Girls Girls.” But [...]

Carbzilla

¡Feliz Friday, foodies! I almost opted out of posting today porque I have to finish up several writing projects and some tarea before the weekend commences.

By Now, I Should Know…

By now, I should know that cereal and I are futile breakfast partners in crime. You see, when cereal and I meet en la mañana, we always do the same old dance. I dole out far too large a serving. I enjoy the soggy deliciousness but find myself still hungry. I refill with with more [...]
