I watch Top Chef all the time. Every season. Every incarnation – All Stars, Just Desserts, Masters. I also watch the Food Network and Travel Channel for cooking and eating shows. One thing I have noticed of late is everyone’s obsession with the whoopie pie. I can’t even tell you […]
Note: Yesterday there was a fire at Kyushu, so we will have to wait and see what the status of this restaurant will be. After my unfortunate break up with Ambrosia, I had a hankering for sushi. Naturally, it was the coldest day of the year, so I bundled in […]
Last week, in the post-marathon madness (read: soreness) I had the opportunity to tour the brand new Disney cruise ship, the Dream. To say it was incredible is kind of an understatement. This is not the biggest cruise ship in existence, although it does hold 4,000 passengers. But for a […]
Several years ago we went to Victoria and Albert’s at Disney World for our anniversary. It had been hyped to be one of the greatest meals ever. Not even close. It wasn’t even our greatest meal in Disney World. It was very expensive and very pretentious. So, I take a […]
If you have been following along, you know that I have just run (run/walk/run) in the Disney Half-Marathon over the weekend, along with 26,999 other people. I have had three months of waking up at 4:15 on Saturday mornings to train, running with the Lululemon Run Club every Tuesday, suckering […]

I show up at Disney’s Coronado Springs resort to a line of about 80 people waiting to check in. Not terribly promising, I thought. Turns out, there are tons of Team in Training people at this resort (by “tons” I mean “literally everywhere you look”) so I had some nice […]
When I started this whole running thing, I really thought I just needed some shoes (I had a seven year old, falling apart, crappy New Balance version, which I thought would be fine) and a good sports bra and I would be on my merry way. I was very, very […]
Long considered amateur night, I can’t remember the last time I went out on New Years Eve. The thought of being on the street with thousands of people to watch a drag queen lowered in a shoe (although I am a bit jealous of her abs), a pirate wench lowered […]
196 miles is roughly the distance between my home in Hollywood, FL and my home in Key West. It is the distance between Baltimore, MD and New York City. 196 miles is over 1 million feet. A million. It is also the distance that I have run thus far in […]
