Emmi, my love…
Posted in Food, tagged Emmi yogurt, grapefruit on July 25, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I have a raging obsession with grapefruit. I cannot get enough of it. I peel it like an orange and end up with a mix of pith and sting under my nails from digging too hard. I order it in juice form in my cocktails, and then I drink it the next morning to quell [...]
Better Tuesdays

I’m worried. Some dangerously delicious places are popping up along my path to work. The new Donut Plant looks to be opening any day now, and Financier just set up shop about 50 feet from the Van Leeuwen coffee truck that I’ve been known (on occasion) to spend $6 on, for a 12 oz. double [...]
Summer love

In the spirit of preserving the remainder of the season, I’d like to tell you about a sexy little summer pie I had back in June that made me want to kick off my platform boots, vacuum-pack my sweaters, grab my Ray-Bans and slither into a bikini– New York Times tucked under arm. The key [...]
Crayola’s newest

When my sister and I were little, we’d play a game where we’d come up with crayon colors. Mom would be in the sale section of Macy’s Home, and we’d traipse off to Bedding and weave our way through the displays, combing our fingers across satin duvets and 800 thread-count pillow cases. A sheeny, silvery-purple [...]
Lunch date

Today I needed grease and red meat. They came in the form of a burger that was perfectly nestled in a neat little sleeve of wax paper with zig-zagged edges, causing any shred of guilt to be replaced by utter delight. And when it became apparent that the bun was buttery and squishy and the [...]
My summer’s shoe

My Chelsea Crew Holly oxfords. I love them with the silliest, most frivolous, child-like enthusiasm – when I have them on, they make me stretch out my leg and point my toe and giggle. They are girlish, boyish, nerdy, and cool, all rolled into one. The cut-outs keep your look open and airy for the [...]
A Tale of Two City Bakery Treats
Posted in Food on March 24, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I am famous for my indecisiveness. The non weakness-of-character kind, that is. You know, the kind that comes from a place of deep, contemplative respect for all things, and the belief that one shouldn’t have to choose when there is so much to be enjoyed. Like at City Bakery last week, when warm, salty, flaky, [...]
Green & Black’s – No, it’s not
Posted in Feelings, Food on February 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I am a chocolate lover, I really am. Dark/semi-sweet/milk/caramel-laced/cookie-embedded…even the non-technical variety of white. It’s simple, really – a melty nub of silky smooth chocolate on your tongue can satiate to your very core. And when I close my eyes and imagine this, I see milky brown hues, fluid, organic ripples, and soft, muted, neutral [...]
