In my heart, simple dishes like squid jerky or anchovies are forever staples. Unpretentious and forged in childhood nostalgia, they can be rediscovered as trendy {I hear oily fishes will become spotlights on dinner menus} or not, I don’t care. Their staying power extends further than that overnight cronut but here are a few things the..read more
After zipping through Shop Girl, this one was a no-brainer and so far, so good! Sure, it’s a luxury item but the deep ruby stain of these fat and sweet cherries will have you shun those bleached fakers forever. Gorgeous Cinderella pumpkins. Daniel was so kind to bring me one too The very first pumpkin I’ve ever..read more

We had Indian for lunch (I know,..read more

I’ve been known to hoard several boxes of butter “just because.” Who knows when the mood will strike and I’ll..read more
Today was a terrific day. You know how sometimes you can just smell the rain? It’s those moments right before when everything is still dry but there’s a wonderful moistness in the air that makes your arms feel all sticky and cool all at once and the breeze just picks up and makes everything smell..read more
The last time I went to Korea, my cousins took me to “Pizza Hut.” It seemed like everything had corn on it. It bothered me then, but I’ve really latched onto the concept since.
