Okay, so I don’t think it’s any great secret out there that I love coffee. Some might say it’s less like love and more like a neurotic compulsion, but they’re just jealous that my devotion to this little bean runs so deep and that I won’t speak to anyone in full sentences until I’ve had a cup or … Continue reading Cawfee Tawk!
Now that Autumn is in full swing and the temperatures are starting to slowly creep down, there is a briskness in the air and a bit more pep in everyone’s step. Apples & pumpkin flavored everything is everywhere and the leaves on the trees are starting to change. It is a colorful reminder that I … Continue reading Day Trips!
Anyone in the health industry will tell you that there is a lot of truth in the old adage: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apples are high in fiber and antioxidants and something I’ve never been a big fan of until moving to NYC. I mean sure, if you set a slice … Continue reading An Apple a Day
As, you may recall (or know if you actually know me): I wrote about the virtues of the banana pudding at Magnolia. Well, I stopped in today…to celebrate…well, insert something here:_____________________!!!

Because there is so much to do and see and eat here in New York City, whenever my friends visit I try to … Continue reading Start Spreading the….Cheesecake!
I write this post with a bit of trepidation. Only because, well, it encroaches upon my daily life. But I suppose that is what I do every time I travel. Certainly, when I go home, I expect everyone to stop and entertain me! When I go exploring, I want to go where tourists don’t venture … Continue reading Take a Boat Ride!
Stout is an Irish pub in NYC. It is located on 33rd Street between 6th & 7th Avenues. I stumbled upon Stout by happenstance on my first Red River Rivalry in NYC [by the way, if you’re unaware about the RRR, it is, in a nutshell, THE Texas–OU football game. All you really need to … Continue reading Stout Sauce
Of late, cupcakes are THE trendy dessert choice. Makes sense–small, individual sized cake. Your very own and small enough to not feel like you have to share…unless you’re one of those people. But, in case you hadn’t guessed, I’m not. My biggest problem is that–at least thus far–I have yet to find a good cupcake … Continue reading Cupcake Wars!
