Wine & The City, Part II

October 25, 2011 eating out

Whenever I think of a wine tasting lounge, I envision a small, solemn group of tall, thin individuals dressed in black. They sit in a row at a long, skinny table with a few bottles of wine in front of them. They very gravely pour a few droplets of wine into their crystal-clear glass. They [...]

Korean Egg Toast

September 29, 2011 My story

I think it was because I read too many British books, but I loved sandwiches as a child. Freaking loved them. Not just because they tasted good, but because they are…well, they’re sandwiches.

Chill Pill in My Neighborhood

August 30, 2011 blog meet-up

Last Wednesday was the day AT&T (after 5 hours of haggling and being put on the hold and transferred) had promised me that they would re-activate my internet.

Thank you Sugar Daddy

July 12, 2011 blog meet-up

[Update: ARRGH!! I'm an IDIOT!!! I only just discovered what "sugar daddy" really meant...I always assumed it meant a rich daddy who pampers his daughter. I never bothered to look the definition up, and now I've unwittingly called Mimi a whore. Sorry, Mimi!! Thanks Carrie for pointing it out to me!]   I received the [...]

Way to My Heart

June 15, 2011 family

I got a text from my brother the other night: “I miss you…” I was absorbed into a book and wouldn’t have noticed the text if I hadn’t been reaching for a some Chex Mix and saw my iPhone screen light up. My initial feeling was one of warmth. Aww…my little brother misses me. And [...]
