Dessert & Movie Night

November 7, 2011 dinner event

You know that saying: “getting out of the wrong side of the bed”? So much truth to that. I’ve been getting out the “wrong side” of the bed for weeks now. It doesn’t help that I’m either sleeping too little or sleeping too much, or that the buttons of my skinny jeans is about to [...]

All the Single Ladies

July 6, 2011 My story

Last night, I came home early from work. I had a great day: an awesome interview with Marja Vongerichten (the host of the upcoming PBS TV series “Kimchi Chronicles” and wife of Chef Jean-Georges), a busy work day of transcribing and writing (no thumb-twiddling!) and a yummy mid-afternoon Asian snack (strawberry cheesecake pretzel sticks). And [...]

The Lemon Tree Party

October 3, 2010 dinner event

You learn a lot when you’re hosting an event. It often seems like the guests get the better end of the bargain. All they need to do is show up looking presentable, sit, eat, possibly compliment the host, and then leave when the host start giving signals. Meanwhile, the host is spending an enormous amount [...]

I don’t know why, but it was a required test in our school that determined whether you were an extrovert or an introvert. I tested as an extrovert intellectual. I was irked. Shocked, actually. I [...]

NYC 4: Fed By the Jews

August 8, 2010 eating out

I once wrote in a college application that I wanted to study Judaism. It wasn’t a ploy to make myself more interesting and diverse to the college administrators; I really was (and am) very interested in Judaism and Jewish history. I would have liked to take classes on Judaism in college, except with my double-minor [...]

Oh My Word

July 30, 2010 family

Unless you’re living in an island by yourself, and unless there is something seriously wrong with you, you’re bound to say many, many words to the people around you. Actually, it doesn’t just have to be vocal. In this digital age, we’re sending out tens of thousands of words a day to people at any [...]
