I didn’t get a camera for my birthday. I got treated to a dinner out with Birmingham at a local place. But I didn’t get a camera. So forgive the resolution of the following photo: That’s my Foie Gras appetizer. Amazing. But I’m still a vegetarian at heart, because my favorite part about this dish [...]

The Thing That Made Me Mad Today
I have had a hard time understanding what makes people change their mind dramatically about things. For instance, I feel liberal to my core. As soon as we learned about the difference between Democrats and Republicans in History class, I remember thinking, “yup, that is what I am, I’m a Democrat then.” When I hear [...]

Sat at the Table
This post is a week and a half late, but I don’t want to forgo an account of my most excellent dinner at the Poughkeepsie Farm Project’s “A Seat At the Table” fundraiser on July 17th. Where to begin? I walked up the fields and nestled between the arugula, beets and herbs was a table [...]

Eat This, Eat That!
Must create new post quickly, lest everyone think oil spills are taking up my every waking thought… Let me tell you about my latest “lifehack.” Since I re-entered the meat eating world, I’ve been giving myself a bit of a free pass to eat whatever, whenever.

I deemed chicken too scary to [...]

Vegetables are never sad
Maybe I shouldn’t have been so quick to pronounce I was back to blogging with a vengance, seeing that I only made time to write one post last week. Why? Have I been feeling helpless? Check. Losing interest in activities I used to love? (ie. maintaining a blog…) Check. Appetite and weight changes? Check. Wanting [...]

My life today: as told by my stuff
I like being a financial services agent. At least, I think I will once I finish this rigorous training process my company’s putting me through. Because of the increased workload, I pared down my activities to working, swimming, eating, cleaning, and seeing my friends on weekends and on Lost night. I also spend time preparing for [...]

Stuff you can buy and eat
Before going into today’s topic, I want to encourage you all to shop locally whenever possible. By doing so, you are keeping money in your community, and helping small business in America, which could use all the help they can get. When local businesses stay in business, it keeps downtown areas from developing blight, and [...]
