While Rome is just one of many cities I have Travelocity track the fares for, I know that short of winning the lotto, a trip back to Italy probably isn’t in the cards anytime soon. But when doing a little research for Will and I’s upcoming pilgrimage to NYC, I [...]
It’s fitting that I’ll be spending the last two days of March on an airplane because that’s exactly the kind of month it’s been. Eventful. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, I like eventful. As we speak, I’m (finally) updating my blog from my hotel room in Beverly Hills. I’m [...]
You know it’s been a good day when you come home and your hair still smells like melted butter. Yes, I think even the Queen of Butter herself, Paula Deen, would’ve been a little jealous of me today because every single dish I cooked in my “Fast French” cooking class [...]
If you don’t have the time or money to hopscotch from one exotic locale to another (and really, who does, especially these days?), I recently found the perfect way to travel around the world—no passport required. Like some of the best discoveries in life, it was completely accidental. I’d heard [...]
Confession time: So, I have a new lunch ritual… Well, when I’m not in the middle of 1,353 deadlines anyway, which was basically the case all this week. But when my work day isn’t quite so insane, I make my salad, pour myself a glass of green tea sweetened a [...]

Maybe it’s my insane love of pasta, Parmesan and the perfect slice of crusty bread rubbed with garlic and topped with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil and the sweetest of tomatoes or all those repeat viewings of Roman Holiday, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Under the Tuscan Sun [...]
I left most of the picture taking to Will on our recent European adventure, but I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this particular basket of bread in Paris. No herbs, no cheese, they just served it with lots of unsalted butter (European, of course, which means more butterfat). And [...]
Back before Will and I were Mr. + Mrs., we were always introducing each other to a few of our favorite things, namely, the books, music and movies that rocked our respective worlds. While we already shared many, many favorites in common, there was still a bit of a cinematic [...]
It’s been one crazy post-vacation week, let me tell ya. If I had my druthers, I would’ve started blogging way back on Monday morning. But when you’ve been out of town for almost two weeks, well, you can imagine how crammed my Inbox was. It was downright terrifying. Now that [...]
