My Joan Holloway Harris ImpersonationLast night's annual Halloween Party, hosted by Matt Baumgartner and Chris Pratt, was the usual rollicking good time party goers have learned to expect. Costumes were mandatory and ran the gamut from super clever (loved the Scooby Doo Velma girl) to the trampy (there were way too many females there who … Continue reading Lakehouse Halloween Party

Identity
image from http://www.kineticfaith.comA couple of things have happened recently to make me ponder who I am. Leaving McGuire's after 8 years, has been a very bittersweet experience and I think it will be a long time before I no longer identify myself as "Silvia, from McGuire's."

I think eating a couple of fresh eggs a week is an easy way to add important protein, minerals and vitamins to my diet and damn, it's so easy! This morning I was feeling like something soft and creamy so the natural … Continue reading Scrambled
