Dried pasta from a box used to be my entire personality — boil water, dump noodles, call it dinner. Then I made fresh pasta once and literally could not go back. The texture, the taste, the way it holds sauce — completely different food. If you've been curious but intimidated, this is everything I actually use, and it took me a year of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

What to eat on the go in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

Being born and raised in NYC food in Orlando is hard to find. Trust me my big back knows what’s up.

Every party I throw turns into a standing-around-the-kitchen situation. Nobody sits at the table. They hover, they chat, they graze. I spent years fumbling with plates that needed forks and dips that dripped everywhere. This is the gear that finally let me pull off one-hand appetizers people actually grab without breaking conversation. If your hosting style is more cocktail hour than sit-down dinner, save yourself the trial and error.

Took two years of trial and error so you can skip straight to the part where it clicks.

When I was growing up, I was that kid who was wide awake at 6am and with full-blast sunshine energy, ready to go for school. As a *gasp* middle-aged adult? Not so much. So here are some of the coffees I’ve discovered in the past few years. These, for the most part, will be for a Keurig. During the first year of Covid, I honestly tried with the type of drip brewer that I grew up with as an 80s kid (Mr. Coffee). But because I’m a klutz, I ended up breaking two in a month. (Maybe I should make a separate list of the objects I’ve accidentally destroyed in oddball ways.)
