snow, ode to winter part 2

Until I started snowboarding, a few short years ago, fell head first in love with it – and usually head first down the mountain too, winter to me was just one big snowy annoyance and it kinda is in NYC.  Unless you can get out and enjoy it how mother nature intended it to be, […]

bonanza

My beloved no nonsense Nan had the coolest name, Zeta.  Don’t you wish your silver haired, 4 ft tall grandmother was called this? How many Zeta’s do you know, coz other than her, I’ve never heard of any, and Catherine Zeta Jones does not count!  But my Nan was always Bonanza to me, I used […]

grillin

Mr Weiss and I have been dying to bust out and do some grillin.  Even though there is still snow on the ground and ever since I bought this bad boy for part of his birthday prezzie, (and if my friend Maggie makes one more “bowling ball named Homer” reference……)  we have been itching to […]

ricotta

I was in the middle of chewing down last nights dinner, yes yes I know pizza again, by default this one was a little different thank you very much, but after explaining to Mr Weiss why there was a lack of mozzarella (funky) and ricotta (again funky… there’s generally at least one science experiment being […]

ice storm, ode to winter part 1

You may remember this past late October there was a freakish ice storm,  in some parts it knocked out power for 5 days or more.  We missed out having to heat up the food on the fisher wood stove, (which is actually a bummer) but we did get an amazing ice display.  Apparently it was […]

wonder bread?

Ah white bread the bane of my youthful existence….. the staple of the 70′s diet, the words “I’m hungry”, the answer “well have a piece of bread then”.  I think I can also remember going through a phase where I used to turn my entire dinner plate into a giant sandwich,  and when I wonder […]

more words about toast

What my husband said to me this morning shocked the pants off me and I don’t believe that was his intention!  When I handed him his breakfast of avocado on toast, he quite matter of factly stated, “you should write about this, I don’t think Americans typically would put avocado on toast, I haven’t had […]

who wants to whip up a pav?

Since it was someone’s very big special day yesterday and that special someone loooooves pavlova so much he may or may not have named his company “Pavlova Systems”, okay so the cat’s outta the bag and let’s say he did…. and that special someone wanted his favorite dessert which leads me to now…. teaching you […]
