I am literally melting right now. It’s 100 degrees in June, IN THE MIDWEST, which is always in a constipated state when it comes to a cool breeze that those on either coast get to experience. We have zero relief. And if any wind from the Mississippi blows in your direction, you hold your breath […]

“That’s one small step for  (wo)man, and one giant leap for mankind”  My feelings exactly after successfully steaming my first lobster on my own and not having a total water works fiesta and drowning myself in complete remorse.  I’m definitely one of those “ignorance is bliss” type of people when it comes to my food […]

  Cinco De Drinko, is what the better half of my life referred to this Holiday as. Formerly known as the Golden Age. (Neither golden, nor an age, discuss).  The days where you could eat and drink whatever you please and wake up knowing that a Frank White was in your near future to clear […]

I was looking pretty rough yesterday after a long weekend of obviously drinking a ton of water and green juice, that I decided to take my unfortunately pale body with day old mascara for a nice jog through the park. And being the Jersey girl that I am, there is nothing that a little GTL can’t fix. Everything […]

So I went foraging for some edibles this weekend, Morels, to be exact.  And the moral of my morel? Don’t do it. Really. Unless you are 100 percent guaranteed to find a pot of fungi gold. I found one lousy shroom  and a tick who made a nice little home on my scalp. The little […]
