- Those of you who have been following for a while may remember my abiding love of comfort food, specifically chicken soup and mac'n cheese. I have to say though, that my tastes are changing. I'm eating far more Asian food these days, (Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.) as well as more Mexican food. I've even developed a taste for green curry.For this, you can blame my husband, who--very gently and ...

- Please --- someone tell me that there is not a blog and a twitter going around following the President of the United States of America cataloging everything he eats! Get a grip people!! Does anyone else realize how absolutely absurd this is, or am I in the minority here? So the man likes his pizza - we fly a guy in from St. Louis to Washington D.C. to make pizza? One simple little, itty bitty ...

- Tonight I’m supposed to go to my boyfriend’s, Bobby's, mother’s house. I like going over there. It’s in Eagle Rock, near my favorite Target. But tonight, I’m not so sure about going over. My boyfriend knows I have ice-cream issues and warned me that his mom has Breyer’s Cookies N’Cream in the freezer. “I can’t go over there,” I told him. “Not until that ...

- Melting polar ice caps, decreasing fertile land, dying species, floating islands of waste and unstoppable virus strains. What is happening? How is this happening? The Right (read Republican) says this is all "hog wash." They trot out doubting scientists who dispute the claims of natural global warming and cooling cycles every 10,000 years or so. Their stable of scientists, including the ...

- May 2 THE MEAL Home cooking is the key. I want to order in, have my life delivered to the door. The takeout menus entice me. From three courses on china to burgers handed through sliding windows, it all sounds good and I request all for take home. But this is not the way. I must light the flame and chop the veg. I can’t have a life prepared by others. I can share recipes and ...

- Today I'm thinking about how so many people have lost their jobs, and how terrifying that must be. Some years ago I wanted a separate "money-making" source , and since my famiy was in the small hotel and food business, I devised a plan to put the $$$ in my own pocket for a change. I developed a pie business, found out that I could operate it myself, and began to pile up the money I ...

- Recently I was at the Google headquarters at Mountain View to give an Authors@Google talk (now up on You Tube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPbSw5Yo2TA)--and I have to say, I was quite charmed. The "campus" is appropriately named. Watching numerous blue-jeaned young men and women ride their bikes (provided by Google) from one building to another, or pause their ...

- April 13 WILLING PIECRUST I lay the crust of my will over the pie plate of God’s will for me. I must have the willingness to trim off the excesses. I hesitate; I worked hard to roll it out. I know from past experience, when hot issues come up, these tags and hangings-on burn and drop sometimes ruining the flavor and appearance of the whole. It is easier to cut loose the things ...

- Last night was either the first night of Passover or the night before Passover, the night one can first celebrate it. I'm not Jewish and I haven't even played a Jewish person on TV. But I've been in a relationship with a Jewish man for over three years now. Trouble is, he had a major post Bar Mitzvah break with many of the Jewish traditions (his first, as he says, executive decision after ...

- I'm telling you, this would sell! My fiance Sam Barry and our dear friend Eric Brandt both work at HarperOne, the Religion and Spirituality imprint of Harper Collins Publishers (I used to work there too, and this might be one of the reasons that's no longer the case, but anyway...). They have a Green Bible (environmentally conscious), a forthcoming Pink Bible (breast-cancer aware) and who knows ...
