Enemy. (Grrrr…why won’t you open sesame pistachio!!!)  I have busted many a nail trying to crack open these tight lipped mothahs!  Not cool man.  Not cool.  The shells make them hard to inhale as fast as my tummy wants them.  Maybe it’s good thing?  Nah.  Friends.  :)  Super happy yummy eats.  In case you didn’t notice (and really, why would you…), I’ve been (kinda) avoiding the pretzel wagon as of late.  It was sorta on purpose after my ridiculously uncontrollable behavior with the last few bags.  It actually has more to do with the $$… Read more >

Yesterday I went to Whole Foods for a “few things”…and came away with $75 worth of Lord-knows-what.  Grrr…how did this happen?!  It started innocently enough (just spinach, apples, and I’m out), but one thing led to another, and the next thing I knew, I was lugging a basket to the 10+ items line.  Damn.

I LOVE love LOVE you all so much for the overwhelmingly thoughtful comments you flooded me with yesterday.  I wanted to hug each and every person who took the time to comment for their kind words.

I finally got the pictures from our dinner at Hearth (from when my parents were visiting me in NYC), so here is a long overdue post. After eating WAY too much vegan chocolate double cake throughout my work shift, I wasn’t exactly starving as I entered Marco Canoro’s restaurant.  Still, with the numerous awards and praise that Hearth has received, I was willing to overlook my lack of appetite.  Plus, this place is within minutes of the hospital and I’ve been wanting to try it for a while.  Dining at another award winning spot with… Read more >

I can’t even put into words what this restaurant experience was like.  As their mission statement says, Del Posto creates the highest quality dining experience in what is one of the greatest indoor spaces in New York City. Without projecting stilted formality, they offer an ambiance filled with warmth buoyancy and lightheartedness of the Italian spirit. And that translated to one of the most fabulous dining experiences I have ever had.  Mario Batali’s name carries great weight in the restaurant world, and this meal lived up to everything I expected and more.  I had heard… Read more >
