I woke up just lying there. My hand searched for my underpants and I was still bewildered as to what had happened. I called over and over for my husband. He arrived by my side with tears shining in his beautiful blue eyes, kissed my lips and told me he loved me. Do you think …
Liquid Diet Liberation
I am not someone who follows any kind of specific diet. I’m not paleo, gluten-free or low sodium. I don’t watch my sugars or fat intake. Right now with the state of my Crohn’s, whatever doesn’t make me sick, is usually on my menu. (And keeps me a size 00!) But every now and then …
Dog in a Goat’s World
Do you prefer peace? Are you most comfortable at home? Are you artistic but resistant to change? If so, this is your year! It is Chinese New Year and the Year of the Goat…or is that a Sheep? I think people lean towards the sheep because sheep are so cute and cuddly. I like to …
Fact Checking Fat Tuesday
It is funny. Before I write a blog, I try to research the topic to make sure I am being somewhat factual. (Nope, that isn’t the funny part.) I mean, just in case my blog comes up in someone’s search engine on a topic, I want to be considered a good resource. (Still not the …
Foodie Fun Day: Ramen Workshop at The Chopping Block (and Guest Blog)
I have a confession. I cheated on Felt Like a Foodie this week. Part of me feels kind of dirty but I also have gotten a rush out of it. Don’t worry, I did it safely….I did spell check, grammar check and didn’t do it for a check. (I’m not that kind of blogger!) I didn’t …
For the Love of Pho
It is a week before Valentine’s Day so the time is right to tell you of my new love. My beloved is HOT, satisfying and good for me. I want every liaison to last forever and I long for it on my lips. It is something I dream about and is the base of many …
Am I Blue Pasta
Am I blue, am I blue Ain’t these tears in my eyes telling you Am I blue, you’d be too If each plan with your in-laws done fell through Was a time I was their only one But now I’m the sad and lonely one, lonely Was I happy till today Now they’re gone and …
Super Bowel 2015
Writing a food blog is more humbling than one might imagine. You get to have experiences with people and food that are unimaginable. And with each of these occurrences, I sit and wonder how did I ever get so lucky. (Kind of like how the players must feel when they get to a Super Bowl.) …
Getting to the Heart of Dinner
What should we have for dinner? I don’t usually ask my husband this question. It is not because I don’t want to fulfill his needs. (I’m still talking about dinner…not the other naughty stuff.) It is because his response is usually farfetched. He wants something that requires a major grocery shopping trip, hours in the …
A Toast To Vegans
If you put your friends into a Venn diagram, what would be the intersection? Would it be their looks or economic class? (That would be a little shallow!) Maybe it is their love of sports or the outdoors? It could be something as simple as the fact that you grew up together and you remained …
