So, as mentioned in my previous post, the anniversary of our first date was February 7th. When Zeke proposed to me on Christmas Day in 2003, he invited me to New York on this date to go pick out the diamond for my engagement ring.

Happy Fourth of July!
4000 weeks. That’s the book Jeff Bridges, one of my favorite actors, is reading and it’s the amount of time we have in our life if we live until 80. It seems like a lot and, then again, not enough. Today would have been my Dad’s 87th birthday. He died at 67. At the timeContinue reading “Happy Fourth of July!”

There’s just one little problem- I like bread. Eating breadContinue reading “My B(re)ad Problem”

Balsamic Brown Butter Ravioli
If I had to pick my favorite pasta, it would have to be filled pasta, whether ravioli, tortellini or agnolotti. This is probably some kind of sacrilege to my Italian heritage, as I never remember eating any of these at my Nanny’s house for Spaghetti Sunday’s, but there you have it. Apparently I’m an ItalianContinue reading “Balsamic Brown Butter Ravioli”
