Our little “staycation” is almost over, but thankfully the weather has been really nice since yesterday morning – the humidity seems to be dying off a bit and the sun has come out, ...
Good morning, everyone! We had a 3-day weekend here in the states for Memorial Day, so I feel well rested and ready to take on the week. Thank you to everyone who serves – not only do you sacri...
Let me just say that the Jack White concert earlier this week was i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e. I had such a great time. He opened with a song or two off of Blunderbuss, then shouted, “What do you want ...
I am beyond excited for tonight – I am finally going to see Jack White at The Roseland Ballroom! I was never fortunate enough to see him and Meg together as The White Stripes, nor did I have th...
Throwing a dinner party in Brooklyn can be a bit trying. While I am lucky enough to have what just might be the biggest kitchen in New York City, the rest of our space is much less…well…s...
It’s been a pretty quiet week, for the most part, but I am ready for the weekend. Kramer and I started things a bit early with dinner at The Meatball Shop last night, followed by some drinks at...
It’s been raining for what seems like forever in New York, but in reality, I think it’s only been pouring since Sunday. All I know is that my horrible knees start to act up after more tha...
We celebrated Kramer’s birthday all weekend – I had a great time, personally, and I hope that the man of the hour did, too. On Friday night, we headed out to begin the festivities. We sto...
Today is my handsome husband’s birthday, and I hope that he has a wonderful day. I woke up early to make him breakfast, which I think we was surprised by and I’m pretty sure enjoyed immen...
This is, quite possibly, my favorite pie. I made it for the first time last year on Thanksgiving, and since I always double everything I make, I still had a ball of dough in the freezer that was begg...
I got some much needed rest this weekend, although I feel like I’m still a bit under the weather. It seems as though I’ve been sick for two or three weeks now, but Kramer hasn’t cau...
Sometimes I’m faced with a harsh reality or two when living in New York. One of those realities made itself clear yesterday, when I was on my way home from work, which is that if you’re a...
Last night after work, Kramer and I grabbed a quick slice from Tony’s, washed it down with a $3 beer from Harefield, then walked over to The Brooklyn Kitchen for a sausage making class. It was ...
Good morning! I wanted to start this week off with a jump start, so I figured this homemade honey granola would be just the thing to do that. I love granola, on its own, with yogurt, or as cereal wit...
I finally got to go to The Breslin on Wednesday night! I’ve always wanted to go, but it’s notoriously hard to get a table around 7 PM after work, which is when we went, but my co-worker a...
Machaca is something that you don’t see a lot of in New York, which is sad, because it’s one of my favorite things ever. I haven’t even met that many people who know what it is, but...
It looks as if we’re back to the chilly winter days in the city; it’s been cold and raining ever since Saturday night! I’d much rather have this than the hot and humid days of summe...
I am throwing a small party this weekend, but I had to start some of my baking early, because I certainly can’t do it all in one day! My knees start to give out after standing in the kitchen fo...
I love duck. I have always felt that it’s an acquired taste for most people, but I can remember enjoying it even at a young age. My first memory of duck was eating it with my dad and my brother...
I love spring in New York because the sunshine compels me to get out of the house – when it’s gray out, it’s easy to just fall into your couch watching Downton Abbey…which I m...
This week really flew by for me, and I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love it when that happens. One day, it’s 5:30 AM on Monday morning and I am dragging myself into the shower, ...
There is really something special about handmade pasta. Yes, it’s sometimes a bit of work, and yes, it’s often quite messy, but despite all of that, there’s nothing quite like watch...
I had an excellent holiday weekend. Kramer and I had lunch together on Friday, as he had to work and I had the day off, then I came home, watched A New Hope (which I think I’ve done on nearly a...
Holiday weeks always seem to take the longest to be over, don’t they? We have a day off of work on Friday, so of course it seems as if it will never actually be Friday – I spent almost al...
I just have to say, we had the most epic dinner on Saturday night. We went out to Rye in Williamsburg with our friends and I am still thinking about what a great time we had there. We ordered cocktai...
I have to say, I am just loving life right now. Everything’s coming up Sydney! I absolutely adore my new job – I’ve been there just over five weeks now, and I couldn’t be happ...
When you live in New York, there are times where you feel as if you should be harnessing the might of the city – you feel the need to go to every dinner invitation, every concert you see, every...
Another weekend has come and gone, so I hope that everyone made the most of it. Kramer and I started our weekend a bit early last week and went to a Broad City Live show at Upright Citizen’s Br...
Have any of you ever used hazelnut extract before? I hadn’t, but now I have been converted. Before, I showed you a tasty breakfast with Orange and Sage Scones, but this time, I made these Chocolate H...
I am very excited to announce my continued partnership with McCormick Spices – I’ve already created these Sweet Tamarind Margaritas for their 2012 Flavor Forecast, as well as this Spicy Harissa hot s...
