Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Last week, I spent a ridiculous amount of time eating. A day and a half tasting dishes all over the city for the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience and a delicious media feast at Dijon Restaurant located in the old New Orleans firehouse on Annunciation were more than enough […]
A perfect cappuccino with truffles and raw sugar at Bayona.
Although I love looking at huge houses with 5+ bedrooms, gargantuan dining rooms and mammoth kitchens, in truth I really don’t need a whole lot of space. Naturally if I bought a house I would like at least one extra bedroom for guests, but otherwise I am perfectly happy with […]
I am the luckiest girl in the world. Never in my wildest imaginings would I believe that I could not only score tickets to the 2012 New Orleans Wine & Food Experience, I got to be a judge. Oh yes…this simple glutton from the suburbs, this flyspeck on the global culinary […]
Did the weather get warmer, so that I could drink Cool Brew or did drinking Cool Brew bring on the warm weather? A shot of Toasted Almond Cool Brew, some cold water, an Equal packet or two and rich, chocolate milk over ice is the best…iced coffee drink…ever…
Ever since I had this thick, rich brew at the Green Goddess, I’ve been meaning to go out and buy several pounds of Union Coffee & Chicory, but I haven’t seen it in the grocery store. Do I have to buy this stuff online?
When you live in the Bay Area, finding enclosed dog parks is as easy as meeting blonde girls who say “hella” and dirty vagrants on Haight Street selling bunk acid from their left shoe. The suburbs are literally rife with pre-fab, astro-turfed dog “havens” where anal owners strictly patrol and […]
Since our unfortunate sushi experience a few weeks back, John and I have been aching for a few good rolls. Although we’ve frequented Ninja hundreds of times before, Chiba had just opened right around the corner and we thought we’d give the new guy on the block a try. Have […]
In the 900 block of S. Carrollton Avenue, among some of the finer mansions on the street, sits the Carrollton United Methodist Church. It’s a gorgeous brick and stucco structure with a round, stained glass window hovering above a pillared entryway, and to be perfectly honest, I would have never […]
Regardless of my work schedule or what I do on the weekend, I always need an extra, afternoon dose of coffee on Mondays. If I could magic myself there in an instant, today I would choose this gorgeous cappuccino I slurped down several months ago at Domenica… . . . […]
Being an aspiring writer, I love creativity in all of its many forms. I am continuously struck by the work of painters, sculptors, photographers, dancers, singers, musicians and yes, chefs. Great chefs have the ability to to seduce our senses, test the complexity of our palates, challenge preconceived notions and […]
My friends often tell me I have interesting stories to tell. Stories about my life and strange incidents I experience seem to enthrall them to no end. So, here’s a perfect story to celebrate the anniversary of the first (and only) time I ever got arrested. Once upon a time […]
