Earlier this week as NYC braced itself for a historic blizzard I decided to use the downtime to bake. I had fond memories from last summer of Brooklyn bakery Ovenly’s near infamous salted chocolate chip cookie that totally hit the perfect balance of salty-sweet and moist at its center.

As early as December 26th and reaching a pinnacle in the days following January 1st, carcasses of Christmas trees start to appear on city sidewalks.

Tuesday night I went to see M.Ward at Celebrate Brooklyn. I got there early to claim our blanket real estate then enjoyed a few illicit beers that my friend snuck in, (even I enjoy the occasional champagne of beers) while enjoying the show and the sweet smoke that wafted from nearby and across the crowd.
I spent my Friday night with my best friend and her daughter and it was awesome. Getting to catch up with my bestie, enjoy play-do popcorn and watch her daughter feed ‘Robot’ as she’s taken to calling their cat was just what I needed after a long work week. We enjoyed a bottle of wine … Continue reading
