It’s the only word to describe my day. The only thing that saved the day was being able to escape for a bit to Bryant Park, pull a chair onto the lawn and read World War Z for a half hour. I love Bryant Park, it’s the best thing about Mid-Town Manhattan, and one of […]
Happy Mother’s Day
May 13, 2007 by
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). […]

Berry Scones
May 8, 2007 by
AND EVEN MORE CARBS!!!!! Gah!!!! I had a steak for dinner and some walnuts as a snack, I love this easy version of scones, they almost as good as the authentic recipe I posted last week, but these are far easier and take much less time. Remember frozen berries are your friend in this recipe. […]

Oh how I miss potatoes, I adore them, their creaminess, their texture, their versatility. What follows is my favorite recipe for potatoes, I love them crispy and cheesy, this version works well in any number of situations.

I’m craving carbs, bread to be specific, and though I can’t have this, I thought I’d daydream of cheesy, bready goodness and share the recipe for my absolute favorite grilled cheese sandwich. Charles
