CSHL Feeds Me; I Can Feed Myself

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

CSHL. So, lucky me, I got to wake up at 6:07 (it's a prime number) on Thursday and stroll on over to the LIRR station. It was a quiet walk, but the icy dew on the grass soaked through my Nikes and eventually stained my socks. Time to bring them home ...

SBU Catering

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Cookies. So far, between the Orientation for my Department and the one meant for PhD students, I've sampled what SBU catering can do. They're not quite NYU's Aramark people, but they know how to bake a righteous cookie.

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Girlfriends. If you want to go out and have a good time, sometimes you just gotta be with your girlfriends. This was little wisdom that I picked up from work, which wasn't surprising. As much as I like being in the company of my guy friends (btw, not only can I call ...

Mom decided it's time to learn how to make pad thai. And this past month, she did in fact make pad thai. Once. :( And I told her that's not the way it looks when I get it. This meant having to go get takeout for dinner one of these nights, ...

The most favorite NY-defining fast food that I have occasional urges for would have to be pizza. Granted, I'm sure Chicago holds it's own when it comes to pizza, New York-style pizza will always have me as a consumer. Pun intended.Pizza in NY is tasty for many reasons, I think. ...

Vanilla Chai

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Eugene is a hand model. Only on some days. Emack and Bolio's is an ice cream chain that I discovered this past summer either by reading an AMNY article on ice cream places in NYC or by using Menupages. I can't decide, because I can't remember.The location I went to ...
