Sweet Designs by Amy Atlas

In addition to cooking, entertaining is another passion of mine and I'm always looking for a bit of inspiration when I am entertaining in stilettos.  When I heard Williams Sonoma was hosting a book signing for "The Sweets Stylist" Amy Atlas' new book, Sweet Designs: Bake It, Craft It, Style It, I immediately placed it on my calendar. See, Amy Atlas is a gal after my own heart – a legal eagle who can cook and entertain like a rockstar. Her book is gorgeous (like that was any surprise – have … [Read more...]

Lidia-ItalyInAmerica

Have you seen Lidia Bastianich's latest book, Lidia's Italy In America, yet? If you haven't gotten a copy - you really should. Not only does it have fantastic Italian American recipes (she is the queen of Italian cuisine after all), but also gives a glimpse into Italian American life.  She spotlights various Italian shops, people and places here throughout the U.S. and guess who is on that list - Philly's own Italian Market. I was leafing through the book and noticed that one of my fave spots, … [Read more...]

Shopping In Stilettos: Fab Monday – The Big 4-0 Edition

November 7, 2011 By 16 Comments

Yes, you guessed right, this gal hit the big 4-0 late last week and, I swear, with age comes memory loss. It's been chaos this weekend in between a retro Dancin' on Air taping for a special that will be airing this Thanksgiving on PHL17 to getting the SousPug ready for his stitch removal (hopefully this is the final stretch with his major health issues and he can just rest for a change). I definitely foresee some Cruzan in my immediate future after this roller coaster of a year. Over the … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Hurricane Irene Edition

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When I moved up north, it was the implied understanding that Mother Nature could send all the Nor'Easters, Snowmageddons and all that fun wintery crap with the agreement that I was never to deal with earthquakes or hurricanes ever again. Tropical storms - meh - they happen - but when both an earthquake and a hurricane impact Philadelphia within a week, I want the number of the fool here who irritated Mother Nature so badly she's changing the scheme of the weather. So - let's jump to a few … [Read more...]
