I must admit, that duck was one meat that I never remembered experiencing as a kid. I fed them bread crumbs at the pond near our house, but never considered them an edible animal like the turkeys or chickens that adorned our dinner table on a weekly basis.

Yum! This recipe was a total accident (meaning I threw together leftovers from other meals to make it) but it came out amazing. I will definitely be making this one on purpose many times in the future. It is perfect on a cool fall day. The carrots and squash are sweet in nature, according to [...]

I awoke this morning to the sounds of screams, cowbells and -the Black Eyed Peas? My first thought: have Halloween celebrations overflowed to the morning of November 1st? Then, I realized that the New York City ING Marathon was going on, and my 1st Avenue apartment was part of the experience by default. The hazy [...]

The Leaves Fall is such a gorgeous time of year – especially in New York. There is something magical about wandering through Central Park, admiring the bright colors in front of the bright blue backdrop of sky.
