Well, we made it! The first almost full week of 2012 and here it is: The first Friday of 2012. Well done, everybody. Take next week off. (Wouldn’t that be great?) It’s taken me almost all week to not only get in the swing of things, but also just figure out what day it is. [...]

Life List Trifecta: Breakdown Chicken, Filet a Fish and Make a Souffle!
Hey, look at that! I’m in a chef’s coat again! Several weeks ago I was browsing my Life List and decided it was time to tick a few more things off before the end of 2011 and, since it was the middle of the holiday season, anything dealing with food seemed to be a great [...]

Spring Cometh
Want to know what I’ll look like when I’m out running errands this spring? (Or possibly next week?) THIS. Everything here is perfect. A comfortable rugby-striped sweater, killer bright royal blue jeans, the classic Chucks and a great bag. This is the transition from winter to spring on my mind. Old Navy Rugby Stripe Sweater [...]

OOTD: Out for the Night
There’s something about fur that just feels a little luxurious – even if it’s a long faux fur vest. I’d like to imagine myself in Aspen just back from shushing, but in reality it’s Houston, TX with oddly humid cold weather that can’t always make up its mind. Out to dinner in jeans, a black [...]

Friday Collections
It’s the last Friday before Christmas and the fourth night of Hanukkah. The past week or so has been filled with shopping and wrapping and UPS guys and exchanging and ridiculous amounts of cookies. Not a bad way to spend time. I’m going to miss that UPS guy – he made my front porch a [...]

Pinterest Cooks: The Spanglish Sandwich
Images via The Kitchn and The Pitch This sandwich has been floating around for a while. Originally created by Chef Thomas Keller for Adam Sandler’s character in “Spanglish”, it has become a late-night and soul-warming go-to choice by many. I, myself, have had two this week after rediscovering it on my Pinterest Taste of Taste [...]
