A White Christmas

December 26, 2009

When I was a little girl, I always wanted a big family. On Christmas Eve, my sisters and I would hang our dad’s black socks from the mantel and I knew when I grew up, I would have a family who had a big stocking with my name on it. I married a great guy [...]

We’re back!

December 18, 2009

We just got back from a week in St. Martin and it was incredible! Our bags are still packed, but I wanted to share our vacation with you while it is still fresh in my mind. Besides, who am I kidding? Our bags will remain packed for weeks. I’ve got many priorities and an orderly [...]

Out of Office

December 9, 2009

Kevin and I are on vacation! I’ll be away from my blog for a week or two. In case you are a burglar, please note: our house is protected by Juno. Since this is a food blog, I’ll tell you–Juno likes to eat his burglars medium-rare with a side of neighborhood hooligans. When I come [...]

Cookie Monster

November 22, 2009

My youngest sister Julie has requested that I shorten my posts. She’s very busy getting her PhD in Public Health Policy from Johns Hopkins. I want her to finish school quickly so she can save kids from depressed parents (her research). Therefore, I’m going to make a concerted effort to start writing fewer words per story. [...]

So much food, so little time

November 14, 2009

Thursday night I had an awesome meal at Meme (www.memerestaurant.com) with co-owner Andrew Krouk, his wife Gabi and co-owner/chef David Katz. They (and the food) were all lovely. Andrew & Gabi’s story will be posted soon and I’m working on getting some kitchen time with David. Until then, if you go to Meme, my advice [...]

Family Man Fried Chicken (and mac ‘n’ cheese)

November 6, 2009

Gary White admitted he may have overdone it. This is an understatement. When I entered his kitchen and looked around, I realized there was an enormous amount of food being prepared. Gary cooks like he is expecting 20 people to walk in the door at any moment. He enjoys a nice meal with family and [...]

Happy Birthday!

October 18, 2009

It was recently my birthday and to celebrate, I bought myself a hazelnut sponge cake with buttercream frosting and chocolate shavings. I’ve learned from past mistakes that while I can eat a whole cake, I really shouldn’t eat a whole cake so I shared it with my co-workers who raved about it as well This [...]

I’m working on a post about chili and needed a snack. The weather in Philly is beautiful today so Kevin and I stopped by the Greek Agora at St. Thomas Greek Orthodox Church in Cherry Hill, NJ. The food there was awesome and I met some lovely people who I will hopefully get a chance [...]

Vegan Macaroni and Cheese

September 16, 2009

 I love cheesesteaks and cheeseburgers. Given that my idea of a fun Friday night includes fried chicken, it was with some trepidation that I embarked on my first 100% vegan meal. I’ve eaten my share of tofu, and am happy to eat at a local vegetarian Chinese restaurant, but when I hear phrases like, ‘nutritional [...]
