The Anti-Diet Foodie
Wow, a lot has changed in the past few days. The situation with Coronavirus has escalated in Boston. As the case count is quickly climbing in MA, I will be working on some projects remotely when possible. For the most part though, I will be hunkered down in my apartment as much as possible, trying…

Happy second day of the year! I have had a very busy few days full of deliciousness, so I am just having time to sit down to write. I have loved being back in DC to visit with my friends, but I am now ready to go home and get back to work. I have…

Imagine this: You are sitting in a New York City bus terminal at 5:00 on a Sunday morning having spent the past four hours barely able to sleep on the bus. You hear screaming children, and the *NSYNC holiday album is playing in the background. You need to make it two more hours to your…
