This month’s Fitness Magazine has a candid, interesting article about the rather wise and balanced health habits of…Condoleeza Rice?! Hey, I’m no fan politically (to say the least), but she’s definitely an example of a busy woman, and gets credit for allowing her workout to be photographed (egads), as well as for sharing insights into…

I’d declare tomorrow night Soup Night, what with another *%^&ing snowstorm coming and all, but instead my mom and I are off to see Jersey Boys. I couldn’t help but think as I watched last week, my mom must see this. So she is. Or will be… Can’t wait! But for any of you who…

When I’m not hungry, I don’t cook. And even when I am hungry, I don’t cook what I’m not hungry for. Make sense? It leads me to believe that those of us who love to cook and think and talk and write about food tend to be the hungrier ones, the ones with Appetites. Maybe…

Artisanal. The term is tossed around every-damn-where in the food/wine world these days, unfortunately starting to imply overwrought and/or pretentious; which is a shame, since all it basically means is hand-crafted. And since hand-crafted is the opposite of mass-produced (i.e. highly processed, artificially colored, flavored, and preserved, and as such potentially bad for the body…

Oh man, I almost missed a terrific night last night. I was soooo tired, and not feeling all that great, but John and I had tickets to the musical Jersey Boys, playing at the Orpheum, so I had to motivate. I spiffed up a bit, but I admit – I bitched and moaned all the…

A better name for Wild Wednesdays is actually Make-Your-Own Wednesdays. I’ve pretty much mastered the art of deconstructing dishes to accommodate everyone’s individual preferences. (Don’t ask how I got to the place of being this, um, accommodating, ‘cuz believe me, it reflects neither my nature nor my values – I’m more of an old-school “if…

Terribly tricky to be moderate at Broadway Pizza, arguably the best ‘za in the Twin Cities. An old-fashioned, no-frills, thin-crust pie, with just the right amount of lightly-spicy sauce and molten cheese. That melty-over-crisp thing is what pizza is all about (to me), stirring happy college memories of heavenly, perfect after-bar slices, wolfed down at…

I’m steering myself toward spring-y, lighter fare these days. The two trips in a row – despite lots of walking and beautifully fresh fruits and veggies – definitely have me feeling weighed down. Blech. My butt declares it’s high time to cash in on the mood boost of these longer days of sunlight (cuz I’m…

Fab Friday! And a beautiful one to boot – lalalaaah! The sun is shining and slowly melting all that damn snow. I squeezed in Friday Morning Coffee with Suz, the first in many weeks. And since I flew solo for dinner, I made myself a plate of tasty, healthy favorites – fish (in this case…

Well, there it is, our Bizarre Foods debut behind us. Whew! I was very nervous watching last night (although not as nervous as I was on my way to film it, ack). I thought the food looked delicious (it was) and not overly bizarre, right? In fact, we lucked out hugely being invited for the…
