Any idea what the items are in the picture above? Perhaps you've got a sweet tooth and recognize them as Twizzlers and Wonka nerds.

Come on in my Cucina
See that post title above? I have a confession about it... I seriously almost used a more, shall we say, colorful homophonic version of the word "come," but chose not to because I was afraid it might be interpreted as vulgar.

New York City, just like I’m picturing it
I'm getting kind of excited about spending some untethered time in NYC. I feel like circumstances are aligning. The sun is expected to shine in mild blue skies. The moon will be nearly full and, I predict, spectacular. I have a good idea about what I'm going to wear (cutoff shorts with footless tights, flat … Continue reading New York City, just like I’m picturing it
