VERSUS
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALLLLLLL?
I certainly am, but more importantly than that I’m ready for some wings n’ things.
That’s right, ladies and gents, it’s that time of the year. The time of the year when you can’t flip through TV for five minutes without catching about 20 beer commericals, 40 pizza commercials, and [...]

I’ve done it. I’ve done it, I’ve done it, I’ve done it! I’ve finally “perfected” my roasted chicken recipe that I had first tried on Christmas. I put the word, perfected, in quotation marks because of course it’s not perfect. It’ll get better each time that I make it, but for right now it’s as close [...]

My apologies for having disappeared for over a week. There’s just too much to report.
The Roth Hall I’ll be mentioning a million times
I recently returned from an all too brief trip to the beautiful Hudson Valley with Matt for our one year anniversary (as my boyfriend, remember, not husband). This is my excuse for having [...]

This past Saturday, I waited for my good friend, Zack, at Resto’s silvery bar, sipping on an ice cold Delirium Tremens as an iPod propped in the corner pumped out classic jukebox tunes. The hum of the dining room was loud and yet the overall ambiance exuded a certain relaxed energy that made me breath [...]
Happy as a Clam

I actually had a low key Friday evening to myself for the first time in a looooong time. No frantic Christmas shopping, no holiday parties, no family dinners, just me, Moo Shu, a slew of Monk reruns on DVR, and a big bag of clams in the fridge. I cooked up some spaghetti with clams, a quick and [...]

This is a big thanks to the folks over at Only-Cookware.com for featuring AfterTaste (by Sherry) as their Blog of the Week! I was at work late tonight, researching a needle in a haystack when I got the pingback notice via email and saw the post they wrote about this wee little blog. As I read [...]

Aside from receiving gifts, seeing family, and gorging myself on lavish dinners, one of my favorite things about the holiday season are the family and friends who crash at my apartment, giving me an excuse to make big, hearty breakfasts. My sister’s speciality is pancakes. Mine is eggs, scrambled eggs to be specific. Too often [...]
