We had a great time tonight, enjoying dinner with good friends who were in NYC for a visit. The last few times they’ve been in town, we always end up at Aquagrill at 210 Spring Street for dinner, and it never disappoints.

Once again, I was caught off-guard at the supermarket when I came across a new Limited Edition Oreo flavor that I wasn’t even aware was coming: Rocky Road Trip Oreos. I immediately got a good feeling about this one. (Spoiler: Yup. They’re really good!) Since my daughter is coming home for a visit this weekend,Read more about Review: Rocky Road Trip Oreos[…]
Happy Thanksgiving, one and all.
My daughter is having a Halloween party tonight, and I want it be as fuss-free as possible. These are 17 and 18 year olds, so I’m planning to just put out a few bowls of chips, dip, pretzels, candy, and order a few pizzas, depending on how many kids show up. Ideally, I’d like toRead more about Easy Halloween Cupcakes : Mummies![…]
Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Ree Drummond, the Food Network star and food blogger more commonly known as The Pioneer Woman. Her new cookbook, Come and Get It, debuts tomorrow, but she had a book signing tonight in New Jersey that I was privileged to attend. I have several of her cookbooks, butRead more about Meeting the Pioneer Woman — Come & Get It Cookbook Signing[…]
