When I was a kid I wanted to be a gymnast. I remember watching a movie on Romanian Nadia Comaneci and how she scored a perfect 10 on the uneven bars in the 1976 Olympics and thought to myself that I was born to be a gymnast. So my best friend and I started teaching [...]

Some Good News & Chocolate Bombe Alaska

It’s funny how some of the major decisions in our life are made on impulse. One weekend, over a month ago I was in the kitchen (where else?) when my husband walked in and mentioned that a house we had looked at four years ago was again for sale. “Which one?” I asked. “The one [...]

In the realm of shameless – this possibly sits in the top 10 for me. This is not a story of how my husband proposed marriage . But this is a story of how I faked a proposal to get into one of Neil Perry’s restaurants. A few weeks after his famed Spice Temple opened [...]

Just a quick note to let you know I’ve been banned from my own kitchen as the Blog Monster has officially taken over kitchen duties. “Trissa, you watch and take pictures while I cook” she told me. As many of you would probably agree, being prohibited from cooking in your own kitchen is cause for [...]

How important is breakfast to you? What do you normally have? Do you sit down with a great big bowl of cereal and milk to start your day? What about some toast with peanut butter? Or maybe even toast with avocado? Sounds like pretty standard breakfast fare to me… boring even… After trying Momofuku’s Cereal [...]
