YUMMALICIOUS! A margarita may well be my favorite food group, especially if it’s my favorite margarita on National Margarita Day. Here’s my secret recipe for a pitcher of Jalapeno Margarita I used to serve at my Mexican restaurant (imported from Oaxaca!) In a blender combine 2 cups of tequila, 1/2 cup of Triple Sec, [...]

Some days–like rainy days in New York City–I need a little something to make my toes tap, my blood pump, and my spirits brighten. Like today for example. I’m working away on deadline and wanting a pick-me-up. Enter the Hotel Nacional, Gloria Estefan’s new music video. If this doesn’t get your toes tapping, blood [...] Meet Best in Show at the adorable Go Dog Go show this weekend. The show, sponsored by Rhinebeck’s Pause Dog Boutique to benefit HeARTs Speak, was absolute FUN. My fellow judges, Kathy Stevens from the Catskill Animal Sanctuary and Dr. Pia Salk of adoptapet.com, and I picked him in the “cutest” division and he [...] Oh, love. Or, as Billy Crystal put it, “I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” That’s love. I’m wishing you and yours love today. That you find it, feel [...] This weekend Westminster and I will be in Red Hook, New York for the “Go Dog Go!” Show. In this month of the Westminster Dog Show, the people at Pause Dog Boutique thought that every dog should have its day and are having a show to celebrate our best friends regardless of pedigree – [...] Go ahead and friend me on Facebook and see what happens if you de-friend me. Nothing. Some people take Facebook way too seriously. In unbelievably tragic news, a Tennessee man is charged with murder after killing a couple who deleted his grown daughter on Facebook from their friends list. According to police, Marvin Potter’s [...] Yesterday’s post revealed my Hamadryas baboon science fair project, and I got an email asking why I hadn’t become an animal behaviorist. Well, here’s the rub. I love nature. I love animals. And if I hadn’t become a writer, I think I would have become Jane Goodall! So, I was excited to learn about [...] In 11th grade my study of the Hamadryas baboon won the behavioral division of the state science fair. I introduced toys into their African environment at the zoo and charted the effects in the “big love” baboon society. (Male leader controls up to 10 females and their young.) I was thrilled today to [...] I just did a Skype talk with writing students from the Department of English and Journalism at Western Illinois University. Their professor, Magdelyn Helwig, went to Brookland-Cayce High School (my alma mater!) and brought me into the class to discuss writing as a career. They asked some great questions, but I thought I’d pass [...] Have you heard about the “Cinnamon Challenge”? (Maybe you’re trying it this weekend?) This popular Internet meme is a dare game in which a person tries to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without vomiting or inhaling it. Thousands of videos of people attempting the feat have been uploaded on YouTube — few succeed. I’ve [...] |
