Need to chill on the produce

The weekly Andersonville farmer’s market is today and as I gathered up my lucky shopping bag and started to hatch my plan it dawned on me that I still have a fridge full of produce from last week. I guess it has to do with being prettier than flour and milk, but there’s just something... Read more »

What I'm missing out on: fire throwers at the beach

When I heard raising children is a sacrifice, I thought it was a hit-to-the-career, tiny-waist-is-history, become-poor-stay-poor kind of thing. It turns out I was only half right. Raising children also involves sacrifice of the more subtle variety, the kind parents get so used to they rarely think to complain about anymore. What with the drowning... Read more »

Professionally tailored sweatpants?

I’m married to a shiny guy. He carries a man purse and secures the crisp in his shirts with personalized brass collar stays. This is why I was very amused this evening when he announced he had purchased sweatpants. Sweatpants? We’re just not casual people, see. Yoga pants are as low as I go and... Read more »

Museum of Contemporary Art, Chowin' down

Since we’re all about the two-parters around here let’s talk about the Museum of Contemporary Art and then feast our eyes on the eggplant parmesan I made tonight. First up, MCA. I’ve been here a million times, but hey, it’s free on Tuesdays and there is a farmer’s market out front. I really needed a... Read more »

Glasses? Sexy? 60's Secretary specs to the rescue!

My usual glasses became a casualty of a hotel vacuum cleaner this weekend. In the mean time, I’m stuck with my contacts and a predicament: what am I supposed to buy? The last time I got new glasses, I had a job to answer to. $400 for Chanel frames? Sure. But now I’m not constrained... Read more »

LIVE! From Canada!

Up here in the land of hammy bacon and Frenchie people, the internet connection is spotty. I’ll be back with a full update on my northern adventure in a day or so. Hints: weird notes from the maid, mosquito immunity, the “Swiss Chalet”. Later taters.
