You know what is a total buzzkill? Fitting triumphantly into your skinniest pre-pregnancy skinny jeans one week and the next having someone ask you if you're pregnant again. You know, because of your belly? Zing! Yes! (I mean Yes! that happened. Not Yes! I'm pregnant.) Urgh. It's okay, I've mostly gotten over it and I…

Sometimes I think I feel about cookbooks the way other people feel about abandoned kittens or small dogs left by the side of the street. If I see one, neglected and forlorn, it requires real willpower not to take it home with me. I don't want to be found dead at an advanced age buried…

I woke up last weekend with a craving for pancakes. So I dutifully marched into the kitchen with Fannie Farmer stuck under my arm, whipped up a half-batch of serviceable buttermilk pancakes and tucked in, putting three aside for the next day, because it is my opinion that cold, day-old pancakes crisped up in a…

I love you all so much, I really do. Thank you, thank you, for your fantastic, encouraging comments. I'm feeling all energized and excited. Did you know that would happen? I didn't! Hooray!

I always have to read a little before I go to bed. I get all ready – brush my teeth, wash my face, put on my cashmere bed socks (the best birthday present a girlfriend ever gave me) – and then I get in bed, adjust my pillow, fluff the blanket and open a book.…

You know what's funny? It just occurred to me that in a little less than 24 hours, I'm going to be on my honeymoon in Greece. What's not so funny is that that sounds terrifying. Because in the meantime, sometime in the course of this day, I have to attach the manuscript of my book…

Yes, I know it's Friday and not the weekend, and I know that pancakes are a weekend food, but I've been thinking a lot about living in the moment and gratitude and the fleetingness of life lately and so, when I woke up this morning wishing for pancakes, I decided I should be grateful for…

Hey, so, I kind of need you to do me a favor. It's no big deal, really. Just a little favor. Leetle. What are you doing Sunday morning? Want to come over for breakfast? Please? See, the thing is, I just figured out how to make bagels. I spent my whole life convinced that they…
