I never thought I’d say it. I thought I’d rue the day. It surprises no one more than me, but it is true. I do not miss New York City. It’s been four months since I moved, and no, I haven’t really stayed away. I’ve been back to NYC for weeks at a time each [...]

Castles, Cabernet, Conferences…and Karats, by Erin
It’s no secret, as past posts will attest, autumn is my favorite season. The changing leaves and abundance of apples at the Union Square Farmers’ Market make me yearn for trips home to Connecticut to bake pies with my Mother, where we trade in our chilled chardonnay for spicier cabernets. Not only are autumnal foods [...]

Hot, Haute & Hamptons, By Erin
Well friends, there’s no doubt it’s been a hot summer so far. If you’re like me, you’ve been running up your Con Edison bill, doubling your daily iced coffee quota, and finding any excuse in the book to get the hell out of Brooklyn and onto the beach! It’s usually right around this time of [...]

Wild About Salmon
Last weekend, Erin and I headed to Sag Harbor to cater a super chic quarter-century birthday bash. It was a match made in foodie heaven: I met the birthday girl’s mother at a Café Boulud wine dinner, she became a reader of my blog, and the rest, as they say, is history. To make the [...]

A Tribute to Grandma, Products & Lasers
Laser Cosmetica Promo – Kimberly Belle from moho creative on Vimeo. After catering for Laser Cosmetica countless times over the years, I was honored when they asked me to be one of their brand ambassadors. I guess they thought my skin was worth showing off, and if that’s true, I have my Grandma to thank. [...]

Market Report: Rainbow Carrots
Carrots get a bad rap. Though delicious and nutritious, their omnipresence and bright color often lumps them into the category of “childhood snack”. Raw carrots are the territory of preschool sandwich baggies; though obviously, carrots for adults do exist–I just don’t see them on menus as often as I might like. I’m trying to change [...]

The Spring Take-Away, By Erin
Last week Kimberly and I decided to meet up for a late meal and dined at our favorite go-to village pasta stop, Bar Pitti. We were the lone soles occupying an outdoor table. With no heat lamps in sight, we braved the breeze and were determined to enjoy our rigatoni al fresco. Earlier in the [...]

Silver Belles
Okay, so it’s not Christmas time in the city and it ain’t gonna be upon us again anytime soon, but it did snow this week, I’m eating just as many root vegetables as I was when the sidewalks were “dressed in holiday style,” and alas, a string of twinkling Christmas lights are still strung from [...]

Same Time, Same Place, New Year, By Erin
A new year always brings with it a new set of resolutions. Resolutions to eat healthier, spend less, save more, and dedicate time with family and friends. Personally, I’m already off to a great start in the health genre, having gone one full month without any alcoholic beverages. Call me crazy, but I find that [...]

The Winter Table
The New Year is upon us, and Winter has descended upon the city, glistening with white powder and crackling quiet beneath her blanket of snow. Though the holidaze has passed, the gaze outside my 5th floor tenement looks a lot like an urban Christmas village, city sidewalks and rooftops twinkling in the glow of streetlamps [...]
