Wednesday, April 9, 2014. APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES FOR UNCONVENTIONAL CHEFS. I am a a terrible cook. It's one of those truisms I just can't deny. I've burned rice more times than I can count, I've baked brownies so repulsive they refused to come out of the pan, and my homemade meals frequently inspire last minute calls for outsourced pizza. Despite all of this, I continue to believe in miracles. I've always been most intimidated by tomatoes. Whenever I try to dice one, it turns into a mushy mess. The woman...

http://easiersimplerbetter.blogspot.com/2012/09/weekly-menu-93-go-to-dinners.html
Monday, September 3, 2012. Weekly Menu: 9/3. The Go-To Dinners. Even if you enjoy the process of cooking, there are those weeks when all you can handle are the "go-to's."

http://neverseensnow.blogspot.com/2014/05/my-breather-moment.html
Friday, May 16, 2014. Through the magic of Twitter, I happened upon a cool new project called BREATHER. It's a program created by Julien Smith that rents out little rooms in big cities for short breaks. 8230;and when I say short, I mean hours - not days. Yes, I've rented a private room by the hour. In the middle of New York City. When I told my friends about it, they suggested I'd be wandering into a no-tell-motel…but so far this seems like a sweet little sanctuary in the midst of midtown mayhem. I Contr...
