Season Finales
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNHTCglQ_Wk This past week brought the season finales of two of my favorite — and very different — shows, Glee and Top Chef Masters. About half-way through the finale of Glee, I was beginning to feel…

The minute the weather turns hot and humid, my food cravings change. I no longer want homemade soups and stews, and the comforting carb-filled foods of winter. I want salads! Without a doubt, my very favorite,…
Adventures in Furminating
Furminating, you ask? Well then you either don’t have a long-haired cat or a dog, or you haven’t been tipped off to this amazing device. About a month ago, my lovely cat Princess and I moved…

Spring Cravings
We’ve had a flurry of unseasonably warm weather up north the past week. In addition to breaking out my flip flops about a month early, I’ve started thinking about the foods I like to eat in…
Spring Fever
The other day Jane posted about spring in DC. I guess it’s that time of year, because I’ve been going through major spring fever for the last few weeks. Normally I can make it through March…
Pasta Anyone?
Rike’s post the other day about comfort foods got me thinking about some of my favorites. I love many of the things she mentioned to snack on. But when we’re talking a meal, and when I’m…
