Friday, June 27th, 2008There’s a food-wine-travel piece by Florence Fabricant in today’s NYTimes about her recent trip with her two granddaughters to Disney World.
Now, I am not especially a Disney enthusiast. In fact, the last time I went (long before I had a kid), I had to be physically removed from what was then The Monsanto Hall […]
Subway: ur doin it rong
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Subway is holding a contest for kids: Every Sandwich Tells a Story! The grand prize: a measly $5K in athletic equipment, which would buy what… two treadmills and someone’s Bowflex from Craigslist?
Anyway, Subway made one fatal flaw. Buried under the prizes is this:
Contest is open only to legal US residents, over the age of […]
Save The Toast?
Thursday, November 1st, 2007So, I got this email today via the contact form on my site:
Hi Kristen,
I thought you might be interested in checking out www.savethetoast.com as
it could provide some fun foodie fodder for your blog. It’s really
lighthearted and I hope you find it to be as cute as I do. Please let me
know what you […]
A year later.
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007As of this week, this blog is one year old — only I don’t really feel much like celebrating.
Recently, my husband and I were on the Upper West Side and he saw an ad for some upcoming food festival. He asked me if I knew what it was. “Ugh, I don’t know,” I said. […]

But I don’t!
Friday, July 20th, 2007I just noticed this blog is currently the top Google result for: i hate padma.
I don’t hate Padma! In fact, I rather like her. I even like her big weird scar that I never noticed until last week and now I can’t stop looking at.
That Gail, though…? Her, I could do without.

ELC Day 3
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007I have just returned home from the Union Square Greenmarket with the following:
- another Fizzy Lizzy soda ($1.69 at Whole Foods)

- cheese (about .3 lbs for $7.00)
- a […]
What am I, Job?
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I think my last post must have deeply offended Tron Guy, Mighty Lord of the Internets, because he smote(? smited?) my sweet defenseless cable modem.
So now, not only is my blog still awry, I’m also without internet access until sometime Sunday. And let me tell you, the library frowns on patrons bringing in batches […]
Wait… what?
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007This just landed in my inbox: FreshDirect is offering a premade Passover seder plate and $20 gets you a platter, prefilled with all the necessary items.
To wit:
Why schlep all over town? Our seder package includes an attractively blue-scripted white platter full of all the essentials: a cooked lamb shank, a hard-boiled egg, parsley, romaine hearts, […]
The downward-facing dog pose of food.
Friday, March 16th, 2007I had a yoga instructor who used to tell her students everyone has one pose they find effortless on their very first try*, and one pose they will always struggle with. As for me, like the title says, downward-facing dog is my yoga nemesis. No matter what I do, it just doesn’t work out for […]
