First, apologies for YOLO. I've never used that acronym before and I promise to retire it immediately. The term, that is. The sentiment? Not likely. I've got a little trip planned with three of my besties - a long weekend in New Orleans. I'm rather ridiculously excited. I've never been to this city before, but … Continue reading YOLO – NOLA

Beans & Greens, uncountable variation
If you've been around here for a while, you know that I love beans and greens. I've been known to make it with a variety of different varieties of greens, including broccoli rabe and escarole but generally I go with bacon as my salty, meaty addition. Recently, though, I had a hankering for sausage, which … Continue reading Beans & Greens, uncountable variation
Where’s the (better) beef?
Can we take a brief turkey time-out and talk about beef instead? Here's the deal - the boys and I have developed a routine when it comes to meals - Tuesday nights are generally simple, Thursdays seem to have evolved into cleaning out the fridge leftover smorgasbords, Fridays are take-out (or worse) and Saturdays we … Continue reading Where’s the (better) beef?
Remember that day I wore leather?
To the VegFest? Yes, that was me. In case you missed the APB from the nice vegan folks, let me tell you about it. It was a busy day, filled with errands and chores. I had committed to shooting the 2013 Albany VegFest which was being held at the Polish-American Community Center out on Washington … Continue reading Remember that day I wore leather?
It’s like apples and squid?

We have a regular semi-secret spot down in Greene County that we’ve been going to for years, but something told me to call prior to hopping in the car this year. Good … Continue reading It’s like apples and squid?
Fly me to the (Jake) Moon
For this year's birthday dinner, I wanted something lowkey. I simply wanted a good meal in a place I could enjoy with my boys. After consulting with The Wine Consultor and talking tables with Table Hopping's Steve Barnes, Clarksville's Jake Moon came out ahead as the crowd favorite. I made a reservation. On Saturday evening … Continue reading Fly me to the (Jake) Moon
Tortilla Flats aka as the place with a waiter who must have flatlined
We stopped in at a little joint Sunday afternoon down in the West Village, Tortilla Flats, hereafter referred to as the place with the worst service. Ever. Our party of three arrived at what I think of as the "shoulder season" of dining hours, around 3:30 or so. There was a distinct lack of greeting … Continue reading Tortilla Flats aka as the place with a waiter who must have flatlined
