The Anti-Diet Foodie
I love New Year’s Eve; it is my favorite holiday. I love the idea of reflecting on the past year and contemplating the year to come. When I was a mere adolescent, I would stay up until 4:00 in the morning building puzzles in my bedroom while I listened to Ryan Seacrest countdown the top…

Ah yes…Another week of the Culinary Arts Certificate Program at BU has come to an end. On a personal note, I still did not get my bed. Week three of the Culinary Arts program bought me another load of joy and knowledge. We spent the week with three of BU’s core chefs, with breakfast, custards/meringues,…

I was extra excited to come home for Christmas this year, because I got to be reunited with my dog, Sadie, after she was lost the day I had to return from Thanksgiving. Fortunately, she has recovered well and is still enjoying the pink bacon-scented ball I got her last month. I decided to try…

The mini Philadelphia food saga continues. In that journey we have now made it to Saturday morning where the Hungry Trio tackled brunch in Philadelphia with Andrew’s parents (Sue and Steve). His parents live about an hour and a half from Philly, and they met us in the city for brunch after a gorgeous morning…
Read MoreOh, how it has been such a crummy weekend. The dreary rain has been a damper on my spirit. On a Sunday like today, there is very little that will get me out of the house. One of those would be Indian food with all the warm spices and goodness in my stomach. Another one would…
