Here's what I do when I see phyllo dough at the grocery store: I buy it. Then I go home and put it in the freezer and sigh contentedly. I'm weird like that. It's kind of like having an ace card in your back pocket, though. If you've got frozen phyllo dough then you just…

I'm sorry about dropping off the face of the earth last week. I really had no intention of going silent, but Hugo stopped napping – just stopped, yes, the horror – from one day to the next and the days went by in a blur. I was trying to keep things together while Hugo was…

The other day, I missed Hugo's dinnertime window by ten minutes. Ten measly minutes! By the time I sat him in his high chair, it was all over. He refused everything – even the yogurt, people, it was dire – so there was nothing left to do but put him to bed and then, do…

Thank you so much for all your cheers, congratulations and excitement! Sometime in the last few weeks, the little guy in my belly went from being a very abstract sort of thing to a real person who likes to wiggle around like clockwork at midnight (oh dear) and whose face I cannot wait to see.…

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, girl, of course you're posting about cabbage soup. It's January 6th, for Pete's sake, and we're all supposed to be on the New Year, New You! plan. You know, the one in which, just two weeks after Christmas, you swear to get up early each morning to sweat…

I wish this was my excuse for disappearing on you with nary a peep for the past three weeks, but alas, it's not.
