Last Stop Short Ribs

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Those of you who read my Facebook fan page (check it out y’all! I try to post every day!) know that Bren and I are embarking on a cleanse of sorts for the next two weeks, starting today. We’ve both been feasting for the past few months, eating out, indulging our sweet tooth (teeth?), and [...]

Random acts of updates

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I feel like I’m all over the place at the moment, so here’s a bit of randomness for you! RANDOM UPDATE #1: I attended Suzanne Goin’s charity event, “LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade Stand” at Culver Studios last week. And I was moved beyond what I’d expected.

My Blue Period?

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

Hi guys! Well, I landed in New York a few hours ago, and now that I’ve had a little room service (oh man, I don’t think I’ll ever tire of how special room service makes me feel. Or how inordinately expensive it is; my dinner tonight cost over $50!!), and showered off that travel “stink,” [...]
