Go Ahead, Homegirl!!

Posted by on Mar 1, 2006 in dish | 0 comments Great news! My good friend Katherine Garbera’s newest book is a Barnes and Noble Featured New Release. Check out this cover: I don’t know about you, but this firefighter reminds me of Nick Lachey. That’s a good enough reason to get hot and bothered. The book lives up to the cover promise, too.

Contest Season

Posted by on Feb 28, 2006 in dish | 0 comments I mailed off my GH scores, and as usual, I have mixed feelings.

Club Med(iterranean)

Posted by on Feb 19, 2006 in dish | 0 comments Our good friends, Comic Man and Mrs. Comic, held a killer brunch today. It’s a good thing I don’t live in the Mediterranean. I’d be roughly the size of Corfu. On the menu: Greek salad, grilled lamb, lemon-garlic chicken, spanakopita, tzatziki, hummus, olive oil roasted potatoes, pitas. Garlic. Lots of garlic. And baklava.
