leftovers

Yip, I LOVE leftovers…. I may even like them better than the original meal, and as of today I am working on 5 straight days of turkey leftovers.  Mr Weiss’s very small family gathers every year in Southold, Long Island, for the thanksgiving festivities and for the past 2 years the turkey has been made […]

happy thanksgiving

proud to be a child of the seventies…

Those were the days… School in 1970s  vs. School in 2000s Scenario: Johnny and Mark get into a fight after school. 1974 – Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up best mates. 2009 – Police are called; Armed Response Unit arrives and arrest Johnny and Mark. Mobiles with video of […]

banana bread 2.0

I’m baaaaack!

Did you miss me?  No I thought not! Anyway Vegas was fabulous, the epitome of luxury, even when you’re not doing anything remotely BAD ASS, it still feels like you’re the naughtiest person on the planet for being there.  Although Mr Weiss and I might have been the only creatures lurking around that DID NOT, […]
