Herb Phyllo Tomato Tart
This is my absolute favorite-ist thing on the whole planet to do with tomatoes in the summer! It takes a little work to put the layers together, but it’s worth it when you literally layer in the flavor. A very addicting, tasty treat – delicious straight from the oven, room temp or even cold. It…

MegaDon: The Surprise, Part One
For the next six months, we had our little Covid sex bubble. I went to his house frequently where we did more of the delicious, pleasurable same – Negronis, cooking, eating, drinking and fucking. As the weather warmed into spring, we moved some of these activities outside. We’d take our Negronis on a stroll through…

25
July 12 – this year would have been 25 years since my first date with PhD. That’s just an insane statement partly because I don’t feel that old, but we did meet when I was 22, and partly because we’ve been broken up for nearly 8 years. 2015 feels like so many, many life times…

Thanks, Mom
I watch a lot of true crime and prison shows. It’s always an exciting surprise when I click through episodes of Forensic Files and randomly come across one I have not yet seen. Spoiler alert…the husband did it. 60 Days In. Cold Case Files. Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons. Jailbirds. The First 48. I Am…

Tomato Peach Panzanella Salad
I had my first peach of the year yesterday and it was divine! Perfumey, juicy, soft – I could have eaten a bushel. It reminded me of this salad that is just the best of summer in a bowl! Peaches, tomatoes and basil are wed with shallots, fresh mozzarella and a light vinaigrette for a…

MegaDon: The Kitchen Table
The holidays and my annual trip to the East Coast and Don’s to Japan for skiing meant for a bit of a break before our next meeting. But as soon as we were both home, he was eager to get back together – as was I. It was early February 2020. When I arrived, he…

Self-Love
There is a very strange phenomenon I’ve noticed about myself in the last few years – the morning after a heavy night of drinking, enough that I feel the hangover effects, I’m horny. Anyone else?? Such a weird development – I guess my brain just wants the fun to continue! On this particular morning, my…

Hot Artichoke & Beet Green Dip
I planted one artichoke plant in my garden bed a little too early before the summer was over last year and I’ve been struggling to keep it alive. I had hoped I might get an artichoke or two this season, but it just wasn’t strong and mature enough…sigh. I was riding my bike around town…

MegaDon
I met MegaDon on an online dating app that predominantly attracts older men and younger women. It works equally well for 40-something men and 20-something women as it did in my case – just add 20 years to both parties. When he sent me his photo, he looked familiar, but I couldn’t place how or…

…Because I’m Awesome
If you’ve read a post or two on here, you may have noticed I like music. Well, I actually love music and I think I have quite eclectic taste, which started I believe at about age 4. I vividly remember listening to The Nutcracker while learning to dance ballet and Chaka Khan in jazz class…
