Back in December, I visited a new doctor (or, as I like to call him, “hot doctor” because, well, look at him), an MD with an acupunturist’s license and a holistic approach to medicine. His practice is radically different from traditional practices: he’s the only person there, the number of patients admitted into the practice […]

Donuts! I got donuts!
I’ve thinking a lot about donuts lately. My beloved Krispy Kreme – just a stone’s throw from work – closed down, leaving me bereft of my favorite flavor: glazed kreme filled. Now, my only local options are Dunkin’ Donuts (serviceable), the bakery department at Wegmans (pretty good) or Timmy Ho’s (where I seem to get […]
Mmm … Forbidden Donut
Amy Secrest’s Donut Earrings. I would love to wear these, but I’m 30 and I just feel I’m past the age of doing so. Then again, I couldn’t really see myself wearing these when I was 20, either. Besides, where would I wear them? When teaching a college course? Going food shopping? Out on a […]
Chicken and Parsnip "Fries" with Spicy Vinegar
Ohhhh, Parsnip. I love you. Sure, you’re supposed to be the side complementing a roast chicken breast but, let’s be honest: you’re the star. You made me eat each and every piece of you, sliced in thin strips, tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. The high temperature of the oven softened […]
Lemon Chicken with Mushrooms
Photo courtesy of Light & Tasty. As a flavor, lemon has been on my mind a lot lately. Naturally, it took center stage in January’s Daring Baker challenge, but I think there’s more to it than that. When I was in London, though the calendar said “January,” the air felt like early spring. The days […]
I Love You but I’ve Chosen Karol Lu’s Champion Vegetarian Chili
PHOTO TK? The camera still isn’t taking a charge. Sigh… Not Eating Out in NY is Cathy’s journal of, well, not eating out in NY. She’s committed to not eating at ANY restaurants in the city in which she lives, instead creating her own recipes. The results are pretty fantastic, and if you haven’t checked […]
January ’08 Daring Baker Challenger: Lemon Meringue Pie
A quick pic using Shane’s digital camera — my camera (with allllll the other pictures) is holding its images hostage… This month’s DB challenge was hosted by Jen of The Canadian Baker. She asked us to make Lemon Meringue Pies as “it is something [she’s] always wanted to try to make and [she] also wanted […]
….And, We’re Back!
A small sampling of the delicacies offered at Harrods’ Food Halls. Hey! Hi! Hello! I know it’s been a while, but I’m back from my trip to London. I was there to assist two colleagues in leading the “Media: The British Experience” course/trip- what a fabulous time! Not only did we get to check out […]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! OK, yes, I realize that I’m doing this on New Year’s Eve, but I’m headed off to London tomorrow very early (unofficially, I’m co-leading this trip/course) , so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for reading the blog in 2007 and invite you back for more in 2008! […]
