I had the weirdest dream yesterday. Well, I thought I did anyways. I was with my cousin Kim and we were headed off to someone’s wedding, and while we were waiting for the reception there was this guy who was bragging about how he could speak in six different languages, and to prove it was at the bar ordering milkshakes in all several [...]

This was just too good not to share

All in all, I’m fairly happy with the end result on this cake. It took me all of yesterday, and a few hours this morning (I finished somewhere around 1:30 after photographing, etc.) and here it is. If this was a full price commission it would have been a little more detailed, but [...]

I’ve spent the entire morning making this template for a chocolate plate for the cake my boss ordered for his wife’s book release party tomorrow. I am soooo not a day person though, so being artistic while the sun is shining hasn’t been easy. Granted, it’s been a lot of tracing, but I feel like [...]

I’ve been toying with the idea of beginning the cookbook writing process again … which always leads me to wonder what people MUST have in the house at all times foodwise. Here’s my list thus far (in no particular order yet):
Coffee
Tea
Seltzer
AP Flour
Granulated Sugar
Brown Sugar
Kosher Salt
Pepper
White Long Grain Rice
Arborio Rice
Dried pasta
Canned beans – (black, kidney, garbanzo, [...]

I didn’t have this ABC Serial on my original list for the Fall TV Lineup, but I am extremely stoked that I remembered to record it. I watched the Pilot this past weekend and I am hooked. First of all, anything filmed in and about NYC (that doesn’t have to do with bloody crime) usually [...]

SoHo Park
62 Prince St (at Lafayette)
New York, NY 10012
Last week a friend and I headed over to SoHo Park for lunch and I’m happy to report that it’s been added into the relatively short roster of cheap eats here in SoHo. We both had the Park Cheeseburgers, which came out cooked medium – which is exactly how [...]

Work is absolutely dead today. I am sitting here at my desk without an email or voicemail to attend to, no open projects, and totally stir-crazy. If I didn’t have to wait for my boss to give me a copy of the bookcover that I need I might just sneak out of here now. I [...]

It’s not even 10:30, and I feel like I am about to collapse. The Hoboken Arts Festival was quite disappointing this time around, and I only bought one lone necklace that I kind of forced myself to buy. I couldn’t stomach kettle corn or any of my other street food favorites, and ended up just [...]

Of all the seasons, Fall is by far my favorite. I think people of all shapes, sizes and colors look far better in warm sweaters, jeans or cordoroys & well worn jackets than in tank tops and shorts. The scenery changes daily with the leaves turning colors and slowly falling, leaving the trees [...]
