A friend mused today about putting animals and humans on an equal plane—that you cannot do so because humans are rational creatures. He is absolutely correct (and incorrect) all at once. Rational, maybe always notsomuch but thinking creatures that are always working towards our own personal rationale, indeed. Anyway, it reminded me of one of my favorite pieces of prose, “Living Like...

This woman is Iris Apfel, age: 88. She’s a bit of a New York style icon and has become quite the muse for several designers and its not hard to see why when going through her lookbook.
iris’s elements of style:
(1) never take yourself or an outfit too seriously. (2) visit the animal kingdom. (3) consider the clergy. (4) travel widely. (5) go high and low. (6) don’t fret...

Project #1 of the weekend: Make my own greek yogurt. I’ve been meaning to try this for weeks now but for some reason or another I just hadn’t gotten around to it. Since I eat so much of the stuff, it gets pretty pricey, plus factor in multiple trips to the store to buy more when I run out…which is often. I buy Chobani or Fage, which are usually around $1.50 a pop. So I did some...
I made the most divine dinner tonight, which featured my latest food obsession: goat cheese. So creamy, so smooth, so tangy so…expensive. But its one of those things that is just so decadent and delicious I feel like the state of nirvana it puts me in makes it worth it. Without further ado, here is the recipe for warm goat cheese and fig salad. (portions are for one, but you can...
Just watched the documentary Food, Inc. As someone who is already a healthy eater and paranoid about her food, I am officially freaked out. Its not like I didn’t already kind of know this stuff, it just drove it home. Consider my list of boycotted foods increased by like, 498572819304.
Pretty sure I’m going to be basically vegetarian again.
Pretty sure I need to dust off my grain...

My latest food obsession (among others): Greek yogurt.
I love it on its own…plain, drizzled with some honey, and then I toss in some fresh blueberries, and some bare naked granola. But I’ve been discovering its use in cooking as well, as both a mayo and butter substitute.
I decided to try out using greek yogurt instead of butter a few nights ago when I had a big bushel of ripe...
