My Gluten Free Middle Child

I have three daughters, and my middle one was diagnosed with celiac this Summer. She wasn't feeling especially well, but nothing dramatic, and nothing that seemed to me to be connected to food. She had her yearly check-up. The doctor ran blood tests, and she had some vitamin deficiencies, so... Continue reading

It's my birthday, and I'm really thankful to be alive. I'm 48 years old, and some days, I feel every single day of it and more, and some days, I feel like I'm 15. And you know what? It's all... Continue reading

Spring Has Sprung in Austin

The wildflowers are blooming all over, and one of the best things about Austin in the Spring is that, even when you are driving on the many highways, you've got something pretty to look at: Then there are these flowers,... Continue reading

On December, 28th, 2014, we picked up our family and moved halfway across the country from suburban New York to Austin, TX. I had not even set foot in Texas before we moved, but my husband got a great job,... Continue reading

Papalote Taco House Texas is well-known for beef and barbecue, but it's actually pretty easy to find good vegetarian food. I'm not fully vegetarian, but I am definitely leaning that way, and I love finding great vegetarian options when I'm eating out. Yesterday, I had lunch at Papalote Taco House... Continue reading

Topo Chico Means Seltzer

I've learned that asking for seltzer in a restaurant usually elicits a very polite blank stare or confused look, and that the way to get seltzer is to ask for Topo Chico. Topo Chico doesn't actually mean seltzer--it's the name of a mountain in Mexico--but it might as well. Even... Continue reading

Dinner Outside at El Sapo

One of the nice things in Austin is that there are so many restaurants with outdoor seating. We had dinner at El Sapo on Saturday night (3/7/2015). Yummy burgers and excellent company! It was slightly nippy, but there were heaters and blankets, and family members for snuggling. And, of course,... Continue reading

I Woke Up This Morning

to frozen tomato plants! I left the poor things outside, and it dropped over thirty degrees last night. Boo! I'm not going to complain about the weather, because I know it was 1 degree this morning in Katonah, and Boston has had enough snow for ten Winters, but the wild... Continue reading

is a real thing, and, coming from New York, it feels more than a little weird to see images of Texas and the Texas flag EVERYWHERE. I know, because India did a report in 3rd grade, that New York does have a flag, but I swear I've never seen it.... Continue reading
