The Power of Suggestion

( Bloggers and Cake and Food and Friends and Guilty Pleasures and POV )

This was originally posted last summer when I was a guest writer at Se7en’s blog.

After a really annoying day, (don’t ask,) my friend came over and we decided to go to a favorite bakery and treat ourselves. Their specialty? Cupcakes. Hers was cappuccino with chocolate frosting, and mine was lemon with buttercream frosting. Everything got [...]

Less Than Nothing

( Bloggers and Food and POV )

I’ve got nothing today. In fact I’ve got even less than nothing. I even stole my lack of nothing idea from this funny as hell blogger I just discovered. Check him out, he is a riot!
Oh and Kashi makes a darn fine frozen dinner – I’m liking their Chicken Pasta Pomodoro. It’s healthy too! Beats [...]

Me Love Cookies – Phooey… Cookies are Carbs!

( Carbs and Food and Health and POV )

Okay folks, I’m throwing myself at your mercy. I need some help here! My doctor “spanked” me the other day, and told me I must limit carbohydrates and lose a few pounds. I had already pretty much eliminated desserts, but damn it, carbs are my friend. Well, maybe not so much, but still, I LOVE [...]

Street Party

( Food and New York and POV and Shopping )

I walked outside my front door and discovered a hubbub of activity. The avenue is closed to vehicle traffic for approximately 30 blocks. There is tangy, fresh squeezed lemonade, chicken kebabs barbecuing over an open fire, and funnel cakes covered with powdered sugar. And there are street vendors as far as you can see. They [...]

The Big Easy is Easy to Love

( Celebrations and Dating and Food and Guilty Pleasures and Music and POV and The South and Travel )

My brain is tired and I’m still decompressing from my vacation, (maybe I need another one? Sigh.) Anyway, just a few random thoughts from my trip.
If I lived in New Orleans I would be the size of a house. All that deep fried food – gosh I loved the freshly caught shrimp! Not to mention [...]

Eat 3 Beignets and Blog Me In The Morning

( Coffee and Dating and Food and Guilty Pleasures and POV and The South and Travel )

Forget Ambien, Tylenol PM or any other type of sleeping pill. First, eat three Beignets at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Beignets must be deep fried and dusted with at least 8 ounces of powdered sugar. Wash them down with a very strong Cafe au Lait. Next, walk around the French Quarter for 45 [...]
