I Read A Lot of Internets

I must say, I was nervous about this whole giveaway thing but it’s been a pretty fun and pleasant experience, especially now that I get to announce the first winner.
Just a few minutes ago, I went to random.org and drew the number 10. The tenth commenter on the Sonoma Grille post was Alaina! Congratulations, Alaina! [...]
This is just a quick reminder that today is the last day to enter to win a $50 gift certificate to the Sonoma Grille. If you’d like to enter, simply leave a comment yonder.
I’m also giving away a $50 gift certificate to Seviche and you should enter that one, too.
So, here is the second awesome giveaway of the week. (If you’re wondering what this is all about, you can read this post for a little explanation.)
This past Monday night, the husband and I headed back downtown to Seviche, Sonoma Grille’s sister restaurant. I have had seviche once before and thoroughly enjoyed it, while the [...]
I’ve had a small handful of PR pitches to do product reviews and giveaways and/or to advertise on my site. I’ve turned them all down because the products have either been something I’m just not interested in or that are irrelevant to me or my readers (I don’t write here and you don’t read here [...]
This morning, I admitted something to myself: I’m neurotic about lunch.
And, like any good mother, I blame my son for this.
He’s a picky eater, though much MUCH better than he used to be. But at any given time, the list of things that he will eat for lunch is pretty short. So, I’m always trying [...]
I don’t know what I think about fate and powers greater than us and whatnot. I know that the universe is not something that I can comprehend but that sometimes it seems to work for a minute or two.
With me trying desperately to get out of the emotional k-hole that I had been in, the [...]
Failure One: Mousse
I made a cake for my co-worker’s birthday. Specifically, this Chocolate Overdose Cake. I’m not really exaggerating that the cake has made me something of a legend at the office. (And, perhaps, alienated my co-worker for stealing the spotlight on her birthday. Sorry. Am jackass. But with tasty cake.)
Also, Abby (I think) [...]
My mind is many places today. It flits back and forth from work to the ickiness that I’m feeling (sour stomach and slight headache, most likely due to wine from last night) to Haiti and especially the family members of a friend of ours. He hasn’t heard from them yet. There’s also some stuff brewing [...]
I just groaned imagining all of the times that that headline has been used for promoting or reviewing The Chief. But I’m unimaginative and I recognize this.
I bought the husband tickets to see the aforementioned one-man play about Art Rooney for Christmas. Because I am awesome, about two days after I purchased them, he spotted [...]
There was this skit on Chappelle’s Show that detailed some historic gang war that eventually brought about the advent of crack cocaine, with one gangster, played by Mos Def, advising his minions to get some cocaine and some “buh-king soda.” I can’t find it anywhere but now any time I say “baking” it comes out [...]
