Cheese and Wine Pairings! Yes, There’s Rosé.
Cheeeeeese! Say cheese. Say wine. Wait, don’t say anything, your mouth is full. So as you well know, last week we traveled south to visit lake houses, new houses, old friends, all the family, so many gremlins, a few pets, and I took cheese BECAUSE THAT IS WHO I AM. (much to Aaron’s chagrin.) You […]
A Fresh Dining Space – with Golden and Pine!
HOME. There’s weight in that word, isn’t there? How about DISCOUNT. Is there weight in that word? Thought so. Right now I’m reading Julie Andrews’ memoir of her earlier years, called Home.

Eggplant and Beef Curry with Rice
OKAY. I’m about to change your mind on eggplant. Because I know approximately 84% of you just read “eggplant” and knee-jerk threw your laptop into a goldfish pond. I know. But this is the thing (!) – we were at the Farmer’s Market a few weekends back, and you know how you always see those […]
Curly Pasta with Roasted Golden Tomatoes and Sausage
I’m BACK, DID YOU MISS ME? (don’t answer that.) Because I missed you. I did! No, I did! When you’re out of your regular work slash community rhythm, it totally does a number on your work slash community . . . rhythm. Never mind. I HAVE PASTA FOR YOU. And the fabulous thing about this […]

Frah rah rah rah Freh reh reh reh Frih rih rih rih day. GUESS WHAT. (I’m just jumping in.) YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS. (promise I’ll simmer down.) IT HAPPENED. (you’re like, I’m already over this.) I GOT THE OFFICIAL LETTER IN THE MAIL. (you’re like, good for you, you renewed your This […]
Monthly Mixtape: High-Waisted, Wide-Legged, Feathered-Bangs and Big Sunglasses
Or in other words, my birth decade! Birth decade? The decade I was born. 1976. In August. This month. Never mind. It’s my birthday month! WHO HERE . . . (I sound like Tig Notaro. “WHO HERE . . . actually believes . . . that the Indigo Girls are here?”) starts getting the tiniest […]
