I had the great pleasure of meeting a friend I see far too infrequently for lunch last week. I wanted to go somewhere I could bring Babka, because (a) I really love the dog, (b) I knew my friend wouldn’t mind, and although she is not much of a dog […]

3 Loud Women, the lifestyle show featuring yours truly, along with 2 other Loudies, Teana McDonald and Allyson Tomchin. Our topics cover the social (how to throw a great dinner party) to the serious (why your teenager is a snarling beast), and lots in between. Most of all, we have […]
April has now become officially known (at least to me) as “50th birthday party month“. May is shaping up to be “40th birthday month” but you’ll hear more about that as it unfolds. A week ago I went to a birthday lunch for a very good friend. About 20 people […]
I was recently approached by the folks at Cheapflights.com to answer a few questions about the Florida Keys and Key West for their Insider’s Guide to the Keys. Naturally, since I can’t shut up about how great Key West, and all of the Keys are, I answered. At length. Great […]

I think this post should really be titled “Just Because We Aren’t Eating Bread Doesn’t Mean We Are Feeling Our Ancestors Pain“. The Passover Seders are probably the two meals a year that require the most preparation. The cleaning, the shopping, the cooking. It all sounds like a normal meal […]
The holidays are once again upon us. I have shopped, cleaned the house (at the very last possible moment) and am ready for the seders. By “ready” I mean “looking forward to going to my parents’ house and not doing any of the work associated with the seder, with the […]
