 Sunday November 25, 2007Noone has actually asked this question, but I feel like its something worth knowing:)Recently during the unemployment thing, I find myself in a constant position to be fed by others. That may sound great, but the calories quickly add up and I find everyone "wanting me to eat something." Mostly my experience has been breakfast, so I've created a strategy... More...

This past Monday I was at the bar by 6. For those of you who know working me, that's unheard of. More...

We had a "budget" night so we went to movie & some dim sum. More...

Last night Wendy Goodman's new book about Toni Duquette was honored by Bergdorff Goodman. I don't think any relationship to Wendy Goodman, but who knows. Not only was it a big night but Bergdorff's dedicated their windows to the book and they were spectacular. This book was also exclusively featured in the December (last issue) of House & Garden...what that meant for me was... More...

Well Michelle, unforunately I now know unemployment. A very sad thing happened on November 5, they closed House & Garden magazine after over 100 years (see last letter www.houseandgarden.com ). With that, we no longer have jobs. So, vanessaknows needs a job--if you have any leads. Posted: November 15, 2007 Barrie needs to know, "What do you know about Gramercy Tavern?"
Well Barrie, Gramercy Tavern is spectacular. Chef Michael Anthony is one of the nicest and most talented chefs in NYC and all of the other countries I've had the privilege to eat in. Posted: November 15, 2007 |
