I don’t know why National Grilled Cheese month is in April. Grilled Cheese (and tomato soup) reminds me of chilly autumn days when my dad would make my sister and me rake leaves on Saturday afternoons. We loathed this chore and practically loathed him by the time we were called in for lunch. Nine […]
Asparagus and I haven’t had the best relationship over the years. I think it was mostly a misunderstanding on my part. Because I really wanted to like asparagus, I did what I usually do with foods I’m trying to get used to: combine it with a food that I absolutely adore. In this case, […]

Two weeks ago my husband and I moved into a new apartment in Manhattan. We love everything about our new place, but (there’s always a “but”) the kitchen is tiny. I mean really tiny. I have about two square feet of counter space and I can’t open my oven and dishwasher at the same […]
