If you’ve listened somewhat regularly to The Howard Stern Show in recent years, you may have heard Howard mention the swanky Jean Georges restaurant of Trump Tower in New York City, often calling it “the best restaurant in the world.” I’ve heard of a few very upscale restaurants in my time, but this is one […]
Most of the time when we’re buying fresh produce, we will opt to get organic if it’s available and priced reasonably. However, for whatever reason, I’ve never gone out of my way to buy organic beer. It’s not that it’s priced higher — I just never thought too much about it. Last week on a […]
This week’s Bloody Mary recipe is fairly simple. Simple, yet delicious. My husband ordered a dirty martini a couple of weeks ago and asked for a shot of Bloody Mary mix. He drank down the martini enough to add the Bloody Mary mix, and pretty soon, five other customers in the bar were also drinking […]
I was born in Hawaii. That is both how I got my ridiculous name and how I became a life-long vegetarian. I don’t really know the details (mainly because I don’t want to), but the basic story is that my dad was a hippie who may or may not have at one time believed he […]
Readers, I have some bad news for you. Or maybe it’s good, depending on how tight your belt has gotten over the last two months. In a few more days the last orders will be placed, the tables will be folded and the 2009 Girl Scout Cookie season will officially come to an end. Oh, […]
This week, I’m clacking about a couple of crazy makis that you might not try making on your own but are sure fun to read about. I take that back… if you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, you very well might be dreaming up how you’d create something similar to these interesting makis. I’ll share […]
Everyone has that one weird food thing, right? For some people it’s fish; they just can’t eat it. For others it’s red meat or sushi. I think everyone has some sort of food stigma that they can’t get past. For me, it’s milk. I know, I know, it does a body a good, blah, blah, […]
Today is National Pound Cake Day. When I was a kid, I used to eat an entire pound cake myself every single week. Well, let me clarify that: I used to eat an entire pound cake myself in one night. Usually a Friday or a Saturday night, in front of the television. It was Sara […]
Scones are an odd thing. I think they’re a very polarizing treat. I happen to love them, but know a lot of people who can’t stand them. I think a lot of the problem is that those people who hate them really just want a muffin. As any scone lover would tell them, however, a […]
In the history of McDonald’s, many sandwiches have come and gone. There was the McDLT, which kept the hot side hot and the cool side cool in a non-environmentally safe Styrofoam package; the Angus Burger, which featured a third pound of artery-clogging Angus beef on a bun, and the McKrabby Patty, which was only available […]
