Notes from the Kitchen: My 2010 Favorites
Dutch Baby. A fancy pancake. Deliciously plain and simple. Honeycomb. In all honesty, honeycomb is the easiest. Extra in all honesty, I make it once a week. Listen closely when you add the chocolate, those are angels singing. Peanut Butter Buttercream. I’d like to thank the food blog gods for sending me this PB buttercream recipe. I owe you my first born. Lemon Curd. Pop Quiz! Q:...

A Food Lover's Cleanse →
katiewelch: Created by my friend Marissa Lippert featured on Bon Appetit — this is actually something I can (should) work into my daily eating habits … Resolution list starts now.  Hmmm… I could get behind this.

Repeat the sounding joy...
The fire is on. I just ate my body weight in steak, potatoes and roasted vegetables. Santa came and my family is here. There is wine on the end table and movie about to start. Oh, and a pear meringue pie browning in the oven. So, from my couch to yours, Merry Christmas! Repeat, repeat the sounding joy…

2010: Memories Made
I’m so proud of 2010. I took this year and lived right within my own expectations. (Which is something I will happily recommend to anyone who will listen.) I made plans and then I remade plans and then I laughed at the original plans and things ended up better than my dreamiest dreams. I know 2011 is going to leave me breathless and I just can’t wait. I have a serious...

Ragu Sauce Over Barilla Noodles
“HOW TO BE A 20-SOMETHING” — Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time. Reestablish a relationship with your parents....

Quelle boot?
This weekend NannyMom told me to pick a Christmas gift. (Have I mentioned my luck?) After a few minutes of me shifting nervously from foot to foot and insisting that I didn’t need anything, she instructed me to “just choose something” at which point I blurted out that I’d love a new pair of boots to keep me fancy and happy. And being the fabulous NannyMom that she is (and...

I spend an inordinate amount of time...
…thinking about what sort of food I’d bring with me should I ever be stranded on a desert island. (Hopefully with my very own Skipper Professor and hot pants a la Mary Ann.) Here we go: Avocado(es) with lime juice and S&P Blueberry Lattice Pie Deep Dish from Lou Malnati’s Ginger Cookies from my kitchen & Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Levain Gummy Worms & Haribo Gummy...

whiteelephantintheroom asked: Apparently, I'm a little slow to the sandbox because I didn't realize we are neighbors on this island of Manhattan until I read your post about Professor Thom's! Which is my favorite place to watch the Red Sox with my rowdy Boston cousins. Perhaps a meet-up after the New Year?

Context: We're both from suburban PA
Kyra: Maybe we could do something the 26th?
Me: A little Boxing Day get together?
Kyra: What the heck is Boxing Day? Other than some Canadian invention?
Me: I don't know, I just love an inane holiday.
Kyra: Does this mean we should get some boxed wine?
Me: Look at you with the good ideas. Law school's working out for you.

Happy Birthday Lizzy!
Liz. Nearly all of my great memories include you. Whenever something funny happens I think, “remember to tell Liz.” You’re the most hilarious, you always remember, and I love you. Happy 24th! See you in two weeks! (Woo! Hoo!) PS: Of the four photos of us tagged on facebook, three are massive prom shots. I figured since we’re standing next to each other in EVERY SINGLE...

Thievery. →
Steal his sweater. And then his gum. Steal his hand from his pocket when you’re walking down the street. Wayfarers off the dashboard and the last bite of dessert. (I hope you ordered the soufflé.) Borrow a spritz or two of his cologne. (Spray it on your pillow so you won’t ever forget him.) Lift his watch - not the best one but the other one - and sometimes refuse to relinquish the remote...

Good friends say the best things:
BBW: You’re so Kate Middleton. Me: In all sincerity, that’s the coolest thing anyone has ever said to me. (To be fair, something tells me Kate doesn’t spend her Wednesdays drinking Bud Lite bottles at Professor Thom’s.)
