It’s been a great week visiting Andrew’s parents in the Phoenix area in Arizona—the weather has been in the 70’s all week long so we’ve enjoyed a bunch of hikes and outdoor jogging as well as some al fresco dining. We’re headed back to Brooklyn and some single-digit temperatures tomorrow, and while I’m not very … Continue reading Happy New Year from Arizona!
This was our extra-hearty Christmas morning breakfast today, prepared by Andrew’s dad. Delicious! We’re in Phoenix with Andrew’s family for a week, and the weather will be in the low 70’s the entire time—I’m so excited. Here we are on our post-breakfast hike today. For the rest of the day we’re planning on reading (I’m … Continue reading Biscuits & Sausage Gravy
Milos (All the Feel-os) Like any Greek island version of a wild, post-apocalyptic Martha’s Vineyard with beaches from space would, Milos completely captured my heart. Also the food was amazing. The traditional Milos fried cheese pie, pitarakia, though delicious, was not all that photogenic and its photo didn’t make the blog post cut, but many … Continue reading Milos (All the Feel-os)
Sampling Santorini In last week’s post, we were just leaving Crete via the Heraklion port, on our way to Santorini! Even if you’ve never been there, you’ve definitely seen the pictures—the iconic white cube houses clustered all up and down the cliffs. It really does look like that, and it’s even more beautiful in person! … Continue reading Sampling Santorini
Cretan Eatin’ Crete was stop two on our honeymoon, and we stayed mainly in Chania, with a day trip to Elafonisi Beach and one day spent in Heraklion, where we caught our ferry to Santorini. Our two main takeaways: Crete is beautiful and the food is SO GOOD! Here’s a photo from Old Town Chania … Continue reading Cretan Eatin’
Exploring & Eating in Athens We had a feeling we would love Athens, our first honeymoon stop, but people kept telling me how “gritty” it was, how we should just use it as a stopping point on our way to the islands, how we should really avoid spending much time there. This was not our … Continue reading Exploring & Eating in Athens
Happy October, everyone! Andrew and I just got back from our honeymoon in Greece last week (it was so beautiful and the food was delicious—I’ll do a post on that soon! And yes, I’ll share some wedding photos too!), and I’m really excited to be cooking and blogging again. We tried so many tasty foods … Continue reading Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad
I just got back from visiting my parents in Pennsylvania for the weekend—it was a quick trip full of antiquing and cooking a bunch of vegetables. We visited several shops in Columbia, including Burning Bridge Antiques Market and Anderson’s Bootleg Antiques, both of which I absolutely loved. I didn’t find any food photo props this … Continue reading Clove-Spiced Red Cabbage Salad with Stilton, Dried Cranberries, & Pecans
Have you read the Neapolitan Novels yet? I just finished the 4-part series by Italian writer Elena Ferrante, and I’ve been recommending them to everyone. (Find the first book, My Brilliant Friend, here. Just try not to judge by the cover!) Some of my favorite authors mention food (and fashion!) often, and Ferrante is one of … Continue reading Neapolitan Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
Chatham Lobstah Long Weekend I’m spending this holiday weekend with family on Cape Cod in the town of Chatham, trying to eat as much seafood as possible, swim in the ocean without burning myself crispy (difficult!), and make a serious dent in my current read, Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko, which I absolutely love so far. … Continue reading Chatham Lobstah Long Weekend
