Good morning! I intended to post last night about our delicious evening at Rudy and Ana’s. I even sat down at my computer, spread out my notes (I have to take notes to keep track of all the fabulousness!), put my hands on the keyboard and thought, am I nuts? I am so full, and…

Home with Nathan again today – ugh, this time of year, everyone passing around germs at school! There are kids missing every day, it’s so frustrating. But, so it goes. He’s here, luckily with his backpack and work, so he’s doing homework all day. He’s not happy about it, at this very moment, but he…

A fix-er up day for me. Or as my mother-in-law Dot calls it, maintenance (I love that term!). Haircut, highlights and blowout (right), pedicure (left), manicure (although the manicure was just a buff, I’ve pretty much given up on polished fingernails, just too high maintenance, and a short, buffed nail is quite elegant, thank goodness)….

Happy VD! I’m very grateful to have a valentine on Valentine’s Day. I hated VD in college when I was broken-hearted over some dude, seeing couples walking arm-and-arm around the campus, blech. I’ve been hooked up pretty much solidly since then, ha, maybe it had more of an impact on me than I’ve realized! Being…

Yes, up too late again, goofing around with Suz and Kim (as you can tell in pic, whew). Our photo shoot and first recording session for Feminine Hijinx went very well, at least from our perspective! Little on the bawdy side (no!), but only a little, just enough to keep us laughing the entire time….

Beautiful, sunny Sunday, wow. And more cuteness this morning, Nikko and Addison waking up here and having a little brunch with us. They’re so good about eating, they happily had poached scrambled eggs with scallions, sausage, and streusel muffins. Two brunches in a row, not my usual, but hey, I’ll take it! The original plan…

Today is Cute Little Kid day in this house! First up, the adorable foodie-to-be Baby Noah (11 mos), visiting us for the first time with new mommy Rishia (daddy Andrew will be doing his Chowhounds radio show; we’ll toast him with a blueberry muffin…). Then later today, Addison (4) and Nikko (3), the daughters of…

It struck me how young, and trim, Fugaise Chef Don Saunders was last night (here with Ana and Rudy). How does he do it, working so hard, with all that fabulous food? Man, I do not feel young and trim this morning, whew. I am t..i..r..e..d. Oh it was worth it, definitely, I had such…

Had lunch with my boy at school today. I brought in some soup and bagel sandwiches – not as cool as McDonald’s, but still better than the usual. Then I read to his class, a book that Nathan and I own and have enjoyed reading for years, Saint George and the Dragon, a good old-fashioned…

The whole beer/burger thing got me thinking about the good ol’ Kollege Klub, or KK, in Madison, WI. Ate, drank, flirted, fought, laughed, cried, kissed, sang, yelled, stole, danced on tables, spoke Portuguese, fell, cooked, served drinks dressed as a French maid, and even poured alcohol directly into people’s mouths, as they lay in a…
