MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.

“Maybe if I wrote about the ‘Top 10 Reasons You Should Get an iPhone’, I’d get more hits on my blog,” I said to my boyfriend tonight. There are times I wonder about this blog: Why the fuck would anyone want to read it? Who cares? It should be more topical. I thought about how [...]

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.

I found myself thoroughly turned on watching Anthony Bourdain’s 100th episode of “No Reservations”. Bourdain brought along heartthrob chef, Eric Ripert (Le Bernadin and “Top Chef”), as his co-host to explore the local food movement in Paris, France. Some girls love Robert Pattinson, some girls love Johnny Depp, but I’ll take Eric Ripert anytime. It wasn’t until I [...]

WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL TO LIVE IN PARIS?

WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL TO LIVE IN PARIS?

I can romanticize anything. I once moved to the mountains of Wyoming, because for the majority of my childhood, I romanticized “Little House on the Prairie,” and wished I had been born in the prairie and horse farms of the West – rather than the suburbs of Boston. But wouldn’t Paris be wonderful? Sometimes I [...]

MAYBE UTAH WOULD BE NICE…

MAYBE UTAH WOULD BE NICE…

And if LA doesn’t work out, maybe Utah? That’s what I was thinking as I went to bed last night, “Maybe I could do Utah.” I thought this ’cause I read the blog of some awesome chick who is married with a kid and lives in Utah. She says the Mormons are nice and very [...]
