OMG! One. More. Day. And I leave for Paris, I cannot wait. J’adore Paris, J’Taime Paris!!!! Two years in a row, to be able to go, is just amazing to me, I had always dreamed of going to France, I’ve been fascinated by France for as long as I can remember. I believe I was […]
Anger.

I am furious with my government. I am disgusted with the lack of oversight, the lack of inspection and livid that the Chinese government thinks they can just send poisonous food into our country. I came across this article in this morning’s paper, and am livid. Illegal pesticides, banned antibiotics, ‘putrefying bacteria’ are amongst the […]

One of the things I love about cooking is learning something new, and sometimes learning just doesn’t come easy, a gap in my skills has always been my inability to make a decent omelette.

I hate allergy season, hate it with a passion. This year’s seems even more intense and intent on making me miserable, the tree pollens are floating about and I feel like crap. I’m hoping the pollens in Paris are not as bad as last year when I had to take Zyrtec (Humex), Flonase, and actifed, […]

I spent the day with my Mom, and my sisters (both moms themselves). Had fun with everyone, and tormented the nieces and nephews. The teenage ones I live to embarrass. The youngest I love to spoil with gifts and teach them naughty things (Alayna, (5) flipped me off today, with some help from her cousin). […]

Aside from being what part of this site is about, “Diary of a Foodie” is also a program on PBS produced by Gourmet Magazine. I’ve set the DVR to catch every episode it finds and I have yet to find one I don’t like but this one, if my favorite so far. Full fat cooking, […]

Disappointed…

After hearing a number of people rave about Havana NY I decided to give it a try for lunch today. After looking over the menu, I decided to go with one of the “Specials of the Day†on the premise that when a restaurant has specials, that they are … special. I chose the “Cuban […]
