No not me, the drink:
For Valentine’s Day I cooked dinner. It was good, but this is really the only thing worth posting about, if you ask me. Even Dave, not a big fan of sweet, girly drinks, loved it.
I told you about my excuse to use my frozen pomegranate. Well, as it turns out, I [...]
I have a bad habit of throwing things into the abyss that is my freezer and forgetting they exist down there. Then I wonder where all my tupperware went …
… hmmm, oh yeah! It’s holding three gallons of freezer-burned chili …
Then there’s my two plastic bags full of frozen pomegranate seeds from these gorgeous pomegranates [...]
It’s Hanukkah and Dave’s been seriously cashing in on his first year celebrating the festival of lights.
He still can’t get over the whole presents-for-eight-nights-in-a-row thing; he hustled me for 20 bucks in his first game of dreidel (beginner’s luck); and he enjoyed a couple of the best dishes Judaism has to offer: Latkes and matzo ball [...]

Yes, I’ll admit [...]
Preparing for Thanksgiving is like getting ready for a big game. You can’t successfully execute without a solid game plan.

Order your turkey/s—figure about 1-1.5 pounds per person, but if you like leftovers as much as my family, you’ll buy an entire extra [...]
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. But things have been busy the last few weeks, and I haven’t had time for any Halloween-themed cooking.
