I’m a girl who, when I can swing it, has no qualms about indulging in little luxuries for herself. A good facial, a heavenly massage — these things are all so worth the expense, in my opinion. For the last few years, I’ve had massages from a fantastic woman here in SF named Nell Waters, [...]

A couple weeks ago, Lara from Simply Irresistible posted two pasta recipes that looked SO good. Well, I mean, all of her recipes look really good, but I must’ve been craving pasta, because the minute I saw these, I wanted to make them right then and there. Which is weird, because at home, Joe and [...]

Joe was out of town all last weekend, and even though he wasn’t scheduled to get home until a little late Monday night, I promised him I’d have something waiting for him on the .01% chance that the airplane food wasn’t horrible. He assured me that as it’d be late, he probably wouldn’t be that [...]

For the last two years, we’ve started out our Thanksgiving Thursday with the same breakfast: hot, cheesy, spinach and artichoke dip, served with tortilla chips, and usually beers to wash it all down. I’ll be a little sad when we host friends and family for a real Thanksgiving dinner, since guests probably won’t take to [...]

When I was in high school, I took Spanish all four years. I got to be pretty good at it — a mixture of my fascination with foreign languages, and being immersed in it every day for at least an hour. Of course, after not using it during college, I can no longer speak or [...]

If you met my grandmother, and asked her whether she loved to cook, I’d doubt she’d launch into a lengthy spiel about her various culinary experiments and jaunts to local farmers markets. In fact, I kind of imagine her giving you a wary eye and then tepidly responding with an “It can be alright,” or [...]
