Two posts ago, I talked about paying my taxes. Now, I’ll be talking about what I ate before I paid my taxes. Again, I hit up Midtown Lunch for the area’s possibilities because although I ate yummy oxtail the last time, I wanted something new, and I found… Where: El Camioncito Truck – 31st St. [ READ MORE ]
I was very sad when I realized I didn’t participate in this year’s Earth Hour, which took place on March 27th. Yes, yes, I understand that I can just leave lights off any other time (as my wisecracking coworkers pointed out), but I think there’s something touching about the entire world sharing an effort to [ READ MORE ]
2009 taxes…done! A week after the fact and I’m still celebrating. I can’t even explain how much aggravation paying the IRS has caused me in the past 6 months. Sure, some of it was my fault. Okay, fully my fault. But what happened was, I was on a four month vacation (visiting my dear parents [ READ MORE ]
I’ve been scouring everywhere for all things QLC. I’ve found interesting books, articles, movies, songs, videos and such about the topic – some funny, some obnoxious, but others that are actually worthwhile. Stay tuned as I drop them here and there. I think the person that wrote this has more to worry about than QLC. [ READ MORE ]
Where: Carribean Kitchen – One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10001 (between 33rd & 34th St. in an alley between 7 & 8th Avenues) Occasion: I had to go meet with my tax person. (Ugh! Yes, it’s that time of the year again, and it sucks!) Since our meeting time of 2:00pm was right around [ READ MORE ]
I don’t know if it’s because I served a lot of idiots at work today (sometimes, I just HATE people). Or maybe because I HATE men (highly likely). Or perhaps because I wanted to sleep easy tonight. But I decided, I wanted to get drunk. Not wasted, just…you know…feeling nice to unwind after a hard [ READ MORE ]
Sitting on our kitchen counter yesterday were baby kiwis. No, I don’t mean those flightless hatchlings and I certainly don’t mean infants from New Zealand. (Although, I have been known to joke once or twice about kidnapping and/or eating newly borns…*nervous laughter*…I was just kidding, people!…I’m not sick like that!)[ READ MORE ]
FINALLY!!! I’ve complained about how I can’t eat this meat, I can’t eat that meat…all because of Lent. But now, Christ has risen, and the veil of meatlessness has been lifted. Come Easter, this was the first thing I ate: Crispy Pata – crunchy skin, buttery fat, tender and juicy pork meat. This is one [ READ MORE ]
A huge part of my culinary adventures since moving to NY seven years ago, is the Orden family – Tito Manny, Tita Gloria, Vina and Corinna. We’re related on my father’s side, and my bond with them started and continues to grow over birthday dinners, artist dinners, Thanksgiving dinners, Chinatown dinners, Christmas dinners…you get the [ READ MORE ]
Feast your eyes on these (and click on the photos, if you please!) Oh! To be across the pond on Easter Day, to have these Tesco goodies and eat away! HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE![ READ MORE ]
