Loading ...Confession time: I’m an introvert. It goes deep. I can’t stand parties. Gatherings of more than four people (myself included) terrify me. I don’t like to pick up the phone. I’d be absolutely fine if I didn’t talk to anyone for days at a time.
So on most weekends when all of you are out clubbing […]

Comments (17) Make Fabulous Fried Rice At Home
August 20, 2008 - 12:30 pm
Hit up any Chinese or Indian buffet and you’ll notice that a fixture of the line is fried rice — the kind that you can pile on your plate time after time and still enjoy with each new helping. It’s both delicious and addictive.
So wouldn’t it be great if you could make that rice in […]

Comments (0) 5 Best Things about My Long-Term Relationship
August 18, 2008 - 4:30 pm
When CC recently published a post about long-term relationships, I was really impressed by the lengths of time some of you guys divulged you’ve been with your partners. Rock on! I see how the single life can be fun, but as a girl who really would rather poke her eyes out with Popsicle sticks […]

Comments (13) Creatively Accessorizing
August 18, 2008 - 9:30 am
Consider this… would you rather express your style with a pair of earrings that no one can see or a gorgeous umbrella that all the damp people around you admire?
Let’s be honest: anyone can pop on a necklace, carry around a $500 hobo bag, and call it a day. To be a true pioneer of […]

Comments (2) My Experience at an Overnight Sleep Clinic
August 17, 2008 - 10:30 am
After suspecting for years that I have sleep apnea, I finally got around to going to a pulmonologist and discussing it with him. He agreed that my symptoms sounded apnea-ish and recommended that I do an overnight sleep study at my local hospital.
I wasn’t afraid to do the study or anything like that, but I […]

Comments (4) Dear Cheater, Please Come Back to Me
August 15, 2008 - 9:30 am
I have never gone out with anyone who cheated on me (to the best of my knowledge). Like most other people, I tend to think that cheaters are the scum of the Earth and that they should be ostracized from society to sufficiently pay for the way they deeply hurt their partners by doing something […]

Comments (16) Scones of Many Flavors
August 14, 2008 - 12:30 pm
I like to have some kind of baked good in the morning along with my cup of coffee, and honestly, there is nothing better than a scone to serve that purpose. Muffins are nice, but they’re too sweet (and often they are also the size of a man’s head). Biscotti go fabulously with coffee, but […]

Comments (1) Cooking Diva: Simple Substitutions
August 13, 2008 - 12:30 pm
I’m sure I am not the only one who knows how frustrating it is to find the perfect recipe, start making it, and then realize that I am out of a crucial ingredient. (What’s that? You don’t make recipes without double-checking that you have all the ingredients on hand? Well, aren’t you special.)
Because there is […]

Comments (2) Short Guys are HOT
August 5, 2008 - 10:30 am
You may have guessed from the title that I have a short boyfriend. He doesn’t like to be called “short,” but it can’t be denied—at 5’8”, he’s exactly the same height I am, and if I wear heels with even a little bit of height, he suddenly becomes a dwarf.
And yes, that’s OK with me. […]

Comments (24) Four-Ingredient Dinner, Coming Soon to a Kitchen Near You
July 30, 2008 - 12:30 pm
I don’t admit this to just anybody, but my favorite junk food is Mary Kitchen corned beef hash.
Yes, I know it is disgusting. Yes, I know it has 50% of your daily value of saturated fat in it per serving. Yes, I know it looks like dog food. But I still love it, even if […]
