Stay hungry, be smart
Ok so…this is actually an excerpt from this book I’ve been writing for years. It’s mainly just essays from pivotal points in my life, mixed in with some recipes that were inspired by the stories. Where do I get off writing a book about my life thinking that anyone will […]
I’m one of those people who likes to plan my trips around my meals. There have been times when I created a spreadsheet of places that I wanted to visit, color coded by neighborhood and ranked by order of importance. This was not one of those times. This was my […]
As some of you may know, I took a quick trip to London last week and just got back yesterday. I am still a little jet lagged and tired from all the running around, but I had a few thoughts that I wanted to put on paper (or screen). And […]
