It’s the end of the night, and it’s only the final fumes of the day that are currently keeping me running, but I thought I’d take a minute or two before I pass out to check in.  I started my new job today and it wasn’t terrible at all.
I woke up with a start about […]

I started my first job in Philadelphia, at the American Association for Cancer Research, on February 25th, 2002.  I got that job five weeks after moving to Philly when I was 22 years old.  A lot of time has passed since then as well as two more jobs, three boyfriends (the last of which seems […]

I’d been wanting to do an episode on breakfast sandwiches for sometime, as I was certain that I could easily outstrip the ones you get at fast food joints. I’m so glad we gave it a try, because the sandwiches we made were so much better than I had anticipated. They were delicious […]

We haven’t had the opportunity make a promo for this month’s Fork You Live, but Scott turned to me earlier today and said, “We really need to start spreading the word that we’re filming Fork You Live on Saturday.”  So that’s what I’m doing!

Well.  Let’s see.
I’m in one of those periods where my real life is pretty darn interesting.  I’ve got a second interview for a job I’m pretty excited about.  I’ve been blogging up a storm over at Slashfood.  The next Fork You Live is coming up in about ten days (2 pm on February 23rd at […]

I spent most of last week in New York City. My experience there was mixed, what with feeling a little overwhelmed by the conference and the city. The primary saving grace was the fact that I was staying with my cousins, Betsy, Harvey and Anna (Sam, the fourth member of the family, is […]

I think I need to start this post by admitting that I’m slightly vain. I subscribe to a Google Alert that tracks my name, just so I know if I get mentioned or linked someplace out there on the internet. When you write as much online as I do, you never know where […]

I am currently sitting on the floor of the New York 6th Avenue Hilton, my back to the windows, facing the Grand Ballroom (where, in the last 18 hours,  I’ve heard both John Irving and Alice McDermott read).  The attendees at AWP are not a particularly internet addicted crowd and so I’ve had no competition […]
