My parents and brother came to visit this past weekend. It was so nice to see my family for the first time since we moved to New York! It’s too bad that they were only able to stay for a few days, but we had fun while we were together. For those of you who [...]

I’m sorry that I did not post yesterday. My husband’s grandfather passed away on Friday morning, so we were with family for his funeral. We will all miss Russ very much. I only knew him for 5 years, but he was always happy to see us and loved us dearly. We enjoyed gathering with family [...]

It’s been quite a trying week here in New York! We’re setting record highs for this time of the year, and it is definitely hot out there! The humidity is killer and the subways are stuffy beyond belief; it really is miserable outside. Still, though, we live in New York City, which makes it all [...]

I hope that everyone enjoyed their July 4th and their long weekend! We made some hot wings (which will soon be featured on this site), cracked open some beers, and watched the fireworks from the comfort (and safety) of our roof in Queens.

The sweet, delicate cake smothered in butter and cinnamon sugar is so much fun to pull apart and eat; it makes for a special breakfast, a quick afternoon snack, or a tasty dessert. The only problem is that the bread starts to look kind of [...]

I’m amazed that I hadn’t posted a pasta bolognese on this site before. I haven’t really done that much Italian food, to be honest. I want to try to change that because I love Italian food! Recently Kramer and I have been trying some fantastic Italian restaurants in New York. One that we are absolutely [...]

This Char Siu Pork is almost identical to what you would find in a Chinese restaurant. The name means “fork-roasted”, and it is typically hung over an open flame or in an oven of sorts and roasted until the skin is crispy and slightly charred. When eaten with rice, as I did, the dish is [...]

One of our favorite restaurants in Brooklyn, and all of New York, really, is Egg in Williamsburg. We go there quite often for their amazing breakfasts. I usually get the chorizo and eggs or the wonderfully vinegary pulled pork sandwich if we’re there later in the day, but Kramer always sticks to breakfast when we [...]
