I realize I should have called months ago, but I am the Queen of Procrastination.
Gabe is taking me out for a fancy dinner for my birthday. I am having issues with reservations.
They wait-listed me for CityZen for Saturday night. Marcels (I won’t link to it because the website has really loud cheesy music, sorry Marcels.) is all booked up too. I got a reservation for 2941, but it isn’t until Sunday night. I’ve got babysitters for Saturday night.
Do any of you know anyone who can get me in?
(Yes. I admit this is pathetic, but it couldn’t hurt to try, right?)

Besides just having fabulous metabolisms and growing up as well as out, I have often wondered how little kids can eat so much garbage (Claudia pretty much exists on a diet of pasta, grilled cheese, cereal, french fries and goldfish - Dr. Atkins is spinning in his grave) and stay so thin.
Today it hit me. If you dance around like a lunatic every time somebody gives you a graham cracker just because you are so excited to eat that graham cracker you probably won’t be gaining a bunch of weight.
I’m starting a new diet plan today. Every time I go to grab a beer I’ll do a little happy dance. This way I figure:
1) I’ll burn off the bonus calories.
2) It counts as cardio.
3) It will please the beer Gods.
What do you think? Who is in?

My rice cooker overcooked my rice.
Two nights in a row.
I feel - betrayed.
I mean, isn’t that why I bought the stupid rice cooker in the first place? So that I wouldn’t end up overcooking my rice?
Should I buy another one? Or will this one just disappoint me too?
Or do I just suck at using my rice cooker?

Dear Food and Wine Magazine
My mom got Gabe a subscription to you for Christmas and now I can’t put you down.
I want you to know that I am not a magazine person. I am a book person, I am an internet person. I only read the paper online, but it’s not like that with you. You give me pictures and recipies and pairings… I never set out to be a food and wine snob, but you are making it so easy!
All I ask from you is that you find a way for wine to have less empty calories. Any chance of that happening? If not, I understand. I will take your pairing suggestions anyway.
The wine store near my house wanted me to thank you too. They are making a killing off of me.
Love,
Sarah
(Nobody asked me to say any of this or paid me to say this. I didn’t get anything for free - unless you count me usurping Gabe’s Christmas present as free. That being said, I will always accept free wine in the future if anybody wants to send me some. Seriously, anyone? Food and Wine? Wine Spectator? Mom? I am not proud.)
