What do you do for the man you love when he turns *coughety-cough* years old? You take him out for authentic Neapolitan pizza at Pizza Pura. That’s a classic margherita pie he’s slicing into. I had a Fungi white pizza and an arugula salad that were both impeccable. Recommended! A Year Ago: Rural Surreal I…

The food at Table was beautiful, delicious, and plentiful. This raw-fish appetizer was mellowed in a citrus and herb infused vinaigrette and garnished with jalapeño sorbet, avocado, and some kind of flower. (I wasn’t taking notes, I was enjoying!) So pretty!

Let Us Keep The Feast
Even though I’m spending Christmas on my own, I felt I needed to prepare something a little unusual or special to eat. So I decided to make myself some homemade chinese-style gluten puffs.

Evangeline
“Have you changed your shampoo, or something?” “No, I don’t think so. How come?” “I noticed when you were standing near me. There’s this great lemony smell; I just love it!” I lean in to let her sniff my hair. “Nope, that’s not it.” I hold out my arm. “Nuh uh.” A brief mystified pause….
Aftermath
I know the day will come when the joy, the savor, the flavor, the crunch and munch delight of eating will be done forever. I hope I die five minutes later. A Year Ago: Blue In my mind’s eye, intense blue is the color of summer… [read more]
Cupcakes
