The Anti-Diet Foodie
My trip to Boston was off to a fantastic start. I absolutely loved Cambridge. No matter where I end up living, I can see myself spending a fair amount of time in Cambridge.

The last time I was in Boston, I was 10 or 11 years old. I remember very little about the experience. So, when I made the decision to go to graduate school at Boston University, I knew I wanted to spend some time getting to know the city before I move. My trip to Boston…

My first post of the year is about the last day of the year. I am now at home relaxing after another successful New Year’s Eve party thrown by the Hungry Trio. New Year’s Eve has always been my favorite holiday. When I was younger, it was an excuse for me to stay up all…

I took on a HUGE baking challenge for this holiday season. Just part of that was making 12 different types of biscotti. This post is all about how I turned my apartment into a mini biscotti factory. If you have never had them before, biscotti are these hard, Italian cookies eaten with coffee. The name…

I had work off on Wednesday due to the funeral proceedings for George H.W. Bush. The law firm I work for follows the government schedule, so when the federal government is closed, so are we. Let’s say I took full advantage of the free day off. I slept in, did some cleaning, watched a lot…
