3000 Miles Til Dinner: Master list of recipes to... →
Well, I’ll be in Cannes and then Italy for the next two weeks. Why not do a little cooking while I’m away? Send you attempts to 3000milestildinner@gmail.com and we’ll feature them on the site. Oui!
Au revoir!
AICP award show at MoMA.
It was fun and it was fancy. Followed by 11:30pm dinner reservations (cue the “that’s the thing about new york” comment) at Monkey Bar. Also fun and also fancy. Then late, late night drinks at Ace. Theme of the night? Fun. And fancy.
SATC2 at the Ziegfeld!
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going to see Sex and the City 2 at the Ziegfeld in midtown. In New York. With real New York friends. YES.
First, we met at a the London for some cosmopolitans. Yes, it was cheesy but the cheese did not stand alone. We were all in it to win it. We ended up at a not-so-fancy hotel for a second cosmo. Cue the seedy photoshoot…
We walked...
“How you do anything is how you do everything.”
– This morning’s bikram instructor. (I’ve been taking sweaty yoga almost every morning at 6:45 for a couple months now. But the Tues. instructor? She’s wise and she’s an ass kicker.)
Celeb sighting: part twenty-nine
WHO? Louis C. K.
WHO IS THAT? Real funny redheaded comedian guy
WHERE? In my hood walking around with his cute redheaded daughter. And I was with cute redheaded friend Laddie. It was like they honed each other.
WHAT? Eh, just Wiki it.

(1) Caesar Salad ~ Mock Caesar & Homemade Croutons

East Coast Magic.
I have really good news: Magic is real. And it comes in the form of fireflies. They’re basically fairies that don’t require arguing over their existence. And, as a previously West Coast gal, I saw one in real life for the first time last week. I was walking with Ashley and Jaclyn in Midtown when one of them said “Cute, a firefly”. They kept walking and I was all, exsqueeze...
Celeb sighting: part twenty-eight
WHO? Abby Elliot, redhead on SNL
WHERE? At Marie’s Crisis Cafe in the West Vil with A. Coll. It was one of those things where you make awkward eye contact with someone over and over because you know that you know them from somewhere, yet can’t put your finger on it. High school? Hot yoga? Bank? Then you put your finger on it and it’s super embarrassing. Insert glass of scotch,...
Yes we Cannes.
Dear Snack Readers (aka, my mom, my uncle, three girlfriends),
Oh, what amazing news I have. Next Sunday, Husband and I are getting on an airplane and going to the Cannes Advertising Festival in the South of France. FOR ONE WHOLE WEEK. There will be sunshine and cappuccinos and film and champagne and art and fancy food and fashion and there will be parties. Beach parties, villa parties, yacht...
weekend recap attack: 6.6
FRIDAY
I got my hair did and if there is one rule in our household, it’s that Husband takes Wife out the night she gets her hair did.
It’s a good rule and I stand by it.
Cyrus took me to a brand new Yakiniku place that just opened on Hudson called Yakiniku Takashi. We give it two thumbs and two peace signs up! Meat heaven.
Also, at one point the waiter came up to our table and said...
mt. snow, vermont.
For Memorial Day weekend, we were graciously invited by the Crowleys to go to Vermont with two other couples and stay in their cute vacation home. I came home early from work and Walter helped me pack.
Then the six of us going in one car got some ice cream and hit the road. It took about three hours to get there and we listened to jams the whole way.
We woke up to a view of the mountain so...
WatchFriends at my work made this. It’s good.
A must-read review of SATC2. →
“When viewed as a romantic comedy, Sex and the City 2 is terrible and crappy and a horrific inversion of everything the show once was. But when viewed as a science fiction film, SATC2 is subversive, stylish and chilling.”
Lost Series Finale Party: a pictorial.
A couple weeks ago, the Mr. and I hosted a get together with some other Lost die-hards to watch the final episode. The final, like, ever episode. There were eight of us Losties and we asked everyone to bring a Lost-themed edible. Let the nerdery begin.
There were Dharma beers. BEER, Stout and Amber.
We had Dharma Diet Cola, Red Wine, White Wine and a nice bottle of Dharma vodka.
In case...

WHO? Seth Meyers from SNL (weekend update + head writer)
WHERE? At Hudson Bagel, my favorite bagel shop in the West Vil.
DID YOU DO WHAT WE ALL THINK YOU DID? Oh, you mean casually drop my sketch book at his feet, feign surprise, introduce myself, shake his hand a little too hard, refuse to let him hand me my sketch book back and run away in hopes that he will give it a nice read and some big...
World Cup Fever.
New song from Eux Autres (aka drum teacher/insta-soulmate/SFBFF Heather and her bro). I’m just trying real, real hard to restrain myself from having one of those sassy Oprah-esque “You go, girl!” type outbursts. Straining.
Download it for free here. Happy Wednesday to all of us!
She's officially SanFramanda.
Sending lots of snack love westward as she starts her first day on the job and her new life adventure in San Francisco. Go, Amanda, go!
All hail Lord Lucas.
A couple of weekends ago, we celebrated Husband’s work partner Luke’s birthday.
There was a tambourine playin’, whistle blowin’, menthol smokin’ limo driver driving what felt like 30 people happily crammed into his 8-seat limo to New Jersey. Oh, he played LL Cool J the whole way there and back. “Doin it and doin it and doin it well”…He’d...

WHO? Ana Gasteyer (from sunnier and funnier days at SNL)
WHERE? In the audio recording booth at my work.
WHAT? Work partner and I recently wrote and sold a little kids song that we ended up shooting a music video for. I sang the demo so that, while shooting in LA, we would have music to work off of. However, I always imagined that we’d have someone famous sing it. Like ANA GASTEYER.
