One of my dearest friends – known to y’all on my blog simply as StB – recently got married in Maui, Hawaii. There was no way I was going to miss this for the world, so I took myself on a week long trip… read along as I share everything I ate on this incredible vacation! Some of you may realize that I visit San Francisco once or twice a year, for various reasons but namely because I love San Francisco. It’s a second home to me. And one of the things I love about SF is the abundance [...]

Through this blog, I meet so many awesome people – one such person being Sarah of Fritos & Foie Gras. As soon as I saw her blog name, I knew we were destined to be besties, because those are two of my favorite things in the world. I had to hide my “WE ARE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS” from her for a little while because 1- usually people freak out when I say that, and 2- because, as StB will attest (and yes, I am still friends with her, though she’s not appeared here for months, it’s because I haven’t [...]

You may or may not have heard that I’m on a Restaurant Hiatus – that’s right, for all of July & August 2011, I won’t be eating at restaurants. The finer details are very much an “I’ll know it when I see it” type of thing, like Congress & porn, but ice cream for sure is totally allowed. I’ve got lots of posts in the bank to last y’all through (and I intend to post more about what I eat at home) and when I come out the other side, hopefully, I’ll be posting near-”real”-time, or closer than I am used [...]

After the first time I went to Ranger BBQ, Noah and I decided to wander into a nearby store that promised kulfi, a type of Indian ice cream. Something in the pastry case caught his eye, so he also picked up two cookies. I think these were pistachio – I wound up trying a little bit, and it was chewy, nutty, and tasty. I don’t know that this was something I would go out of my way to pick up for myself – if you really like pistachios, though, this might be to your liking. (Perhaps Noah will chime in [...]

I recently had the fabulous good fortune to be invited to La Maison du Chocolat on the Upper East Side to sample the launch of their Summer Collection. Notably, their Chiberta collection, with adorable artwork adorning the boxes. Isn’t that cute? And of course you can get big gift collections with the Chiberta as well! As soon as I walked in, on my left was this little table featuring the Salvador raspberry mousse cake. What a welcome! This mousse cake was light and airy, so chocolatey without being too heavy. I could definitely eat the whole cake myself, though I [...]
