Back when we lived on Grand Avenue my husband used to make frequent trips to Binny's Beverage Depot. Not only a great nearby spot for wine, beer, cigars, and estoteric liquor, they also have a nice little deli of gourmet cheeses and other nibble...

meyer lemon cupcakes

nobody@vox.com(Girly Mae) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:23:14 -0700

Despite the impression you may get from reading this blog, I actually don't have that much of a sweet tooth. A few squares of dark chocolate after dinner or the occasional scoop of Chunky Monkey and I'm good. Even when I was pregnant, I didn't ...

I have some sad news. This will be the first year since its inception in 2001 that I will not be hosting our annual Christmukkah party, renowned for the extremely boozelicious egg nog and the scrumptious potato latkes. That baby I alluded to in...

blueberry pie

Hi, remember me? I used to write a blog about recipes and torturing my husband, back in aught-seven? Well this year has been a tiring year, with working late, gestating a baby (due in a few weeks!) and many many meals prepared by Jon and not as...

Probably the top hit recipe of my Thanksgiving tryouts has been the pumpkin pie from the November issue of Martha Stewart's Living. I've always viewed pumpkin pie as a vehicle for whipped cream (or in some cases, cool whip, depending on whose ho...

I've been test driving some Thanksgiving recipes lately. Most of them are for dining with a big group, as that's how most of us spend the holiday. In fact, it's how I myself will be spending the holiday, in New York with all my in-laws and my m...
