5 minutes to makeUnlike some other folks, I've never made ravioli myself. Or any other kind of pasta, to be honest. I'm not saying I'm opposed to the idea, but I think it is an activity which would be more fun with friends, or a real pasta making person to show me the ropes. Or … Continue reading Sunday dinner – ravioli!

DelSo Night
What better way to start my summer vacation than a walk down Delaware Avenue? It was the perfect evening for a stroll (in between rain showers) and I was happy to see so many people out and about. Don't the tables in front of Pizzalo look good? I need to give their pizza another shot … Continue reading DelSo Night
I’m all over the internets!
Did I mention that I'm contributing to one of the Times Union's blogs? You know, I had an extra waking moment or two and I needed something to do with my time.

Lark Street is for Lovers – and art and kids
On Saturday I actually was able to bring my youngest child to an event on Lark Street without fear that he would be visually assaulted by public urination (no, Quinn, it isn't ok for people to pee outside. Unless they're camping, of course) or intoxicated revelers. Yes, as you could probably tell by the rainy forecast, … Continue reading Lark Street is for Lovers – and art and kids
The Van Dyck
Last night, I met a couple of friends in Schenectady at The Van Dyck for beers and a bite to eat. I've been to the Van Dyck, in its various incarnations, a couple of times over the years and have always thought of it as a cool space not living up to its potential. After … Continue reading The Van Dyck
