Nemo NYC and Karaoke Cave

September 23, 2011

The bff (not to be confused with the bf) and I recently checked out  Nemo NYC  and  Karaoke Cave, two Manhattan karaoke joints located at 54 East 13th St. and 9 E 13th Street, respectively.  We started the night out at Nemo NYC and booked one of the private rooms in the back.   Unfortunately, the minimum […]

Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Sandwiches

September 20, 2011

This is just a simple, quick, and delicious sandwich that I made recently: 2 mini ciabatta rolls fig balsamic vinegar 8 slices of prosciutto 1 avocado, pitted and sliced goat cheese (enough to liberally spread on the bottom of each ciabatta roll) I like to toast the ciabatta rolls whole in the oven for 6 minutes […]


Five Years in the Making…

September 15, 2011

The arrival of this long-anticipated bud on my Night Blooming Cereus plant is so exciting to me (probably not you) that I HAD to share.  A little over five years ago, I was given a cutting of a Night Blooming Cereus plant from a good friend’s father.  The thing about this plant is that it […]


Dean Street, Prospect Heights

September 14, 2011

  The bf and I were craving something hearty and delicious late last Saturday night, and decided to check out a place called  Dean Street  in Prospect Heights.  Located on the corner of Dean and Underhill, Dean Street shined like a beacon on a mostly deserted and residential block.  Part of the reason we chose this […]


Chocolate Heaven

September 13, 2011

  My presentation may need a little work, but this chocolate cake was DELICIOUS. I rarely bake these days since my kitchen is so small, but last weekend was my boyfriend’s birthday, so I broke out the cake pans.  I enjoy watching Ina Garten’s show, the  Barefoot Contessa, and love to try her recipes as much as possible.  For […]


Macaroni and Cheese, Please

September 12, 2011

I had some little ones visiting me last week, so I thought I would give a classic dish like baked mac and cheese a try.  This seemed like something they would enjoy, especially after a taco night that was a little too spicy for their delicate palates!  Since there are endless recipes online, I narrowed […]


Not for the Faint of Heart…

September 2, 2011

Have you seen  “Sleep No More”  yet?  If not, you are missing a seriously intense and interesting theatrical experience.  Generally speaking, theatrical “experiences” are less appealing to me than sitting down and enjoying a good play or musical, and had the circumstances been different, I probably would have chosen to pass on this one. Fortunately, I […]
