Sneaky friends Matt and Susanne wanted to plan something special for the birthdays of their spouses, Linda and Rob. So they joined forces and hired me to help them throw a cooking class birthday bonanza. It was pretty easy to fool their other halves since they’re all part of a little group of friends who always meet up for dinner anyways. So they told them to get in the car and made their way to their friend Jamie’s lovely house. [...]
I get this question asked of me ALL the time…what is my knife of choice? But it’s really no secret at all. I am biased and I play favorites. I love my Shun, which you will see me use often in my videos, but it can be a little scary to use for the home-cook. With that said, I absolutely ADORE my pink-handled special edition Kyocera ceramic santoku knife. And mind you, I am an UN-official spokesperson for them, but darn it, I should go into business with them, because I’m always a giddy school girl professing my love. Here’s WHY: [...]
Man….things were tough in 2010… filled with some struggles, hardship and pain…Yes, I hide it well in my blog… but I have new hope that there is a time of refreshing coming in 2011 (a LONG awaited time of refreshing). I’m getting ready to breathe my sigh of relief yo. [...]
Isn’t the grass ALWAYS greener on the other side? Normally, I prefer the Fall and Winter time, mainly because I adore Thanksgiving and Christmas, apple-picking, hot cocoa, snow, and wearing layers with fuzzy Uggs. Likewise, I tend to dread the Summer because of the intense, sweltering heat & humidity. I still have nightmares of going to work when I lived in NYC, after walking several blocks to the subway through thick humidity, waiting in the suffocating heat underground, drenched in sweat, and then hopping into a crowded car only to realize that you chose THE ONE car with the AC not working {{shudder}}!

We (the 5 of us-which included me and my sister’s friends) threw my sister, Christina, a diva-licious Parisian themed baby shower at a gorgeous rented room located in Philadelphia. We asked Joe to help with all the design and labels as well as maternity photos scattered about the place.
There were a few requests from the guest of honor, one of them being “no little animals everywhere,” “not so cute-sy,” and more “grown-up.” I think we made sure that no detail was overlooked and came together to throw a festive yet elegant baby shower fit for any pregnant francophile! [...]
When the Church of Southland throws an event, we usually go all out. This year, for the Fall Fest, which is basically a Halloween party, open to all the neighborhood kids, there was everything from a dunk tank to a petting zoo! I helped in the days leading up to the bash by tracing and painting banner sized posters and cutting out laminated leaves to hang on the walls. Yes, apparently in California, we have to buy fall leaves. [...]
