Cheese—milk’s leap toward immortality.—Clifton Paul Fadiman I am heading to a holiday party on Saturday. I’ve been going over in my mind what to bring, wondering whether or not to bake or cook.

Chai tea on-the-go
I’m a tea addict, especially when it comes to chai tea. I LOVE chai and drink it all day long. But I’m often out and about and can’t make it exactly the way I like, with special honey I buy at the Greenmarket and steamed milk that I foam with an Aerolatte. Enter Jaipur Avenue [...]
Do you have a crackpot in your kitchen?
Yes, a crackpot. Funny name, right? But very appropriate. This sleek yellow bowl with a white interior has a built-in egg crack blade and an ergonomic handle, which makes cracking eggs + whisking eggs super easy.

So it’s not uncommon to find me whipping up French Toast and such in the middle of the week, or for breakfast [...]
What do you wish for? (Aside from world peace). Here’s my wish list.
Another web site asked me to come up with a wish list of things that would make my life as a work-at-home mom easier. Although the idea fell through, I thought, why not post it here? It was fun to fantasize about new gifts, because I feel like I already have so much: a new [...]
On-the-go wine decanter
When I started writing about food and restaurants, I decided I’d never write about wine. And that is not to say I don’t like wine, because actually I love it. (And my birthday is in a couple of days, so I will be drinking one of my favorites!) But wine is its own universe, with [...]
