Lasagna Sandwich 2.0

Last week, a lasagna sandwich in the U.K. made headlines here in the U.S. And it got me thinking…what other main course meals would make good — or at least potentially lucrative — sandwiches? I personally think you can’t do … Continue reading →

My Top 15 Wacky Cookbooks (With Bonus Optimistic Prologue!)

I love wacky cookbooks. And, strangely, despite the carnage of last week — that left me sans part-time fake-gambling gig *and* full-time job prospects *and* hope — I’m feeling rather optimistic now. I’ve been kicking around an idea for a … Continue reading →

Bad Boyfriends and The Lone Wolf: Or, What I’ve Learned from Amy Adams, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Whitney Houston, Theodore Roosevelt and the Wizard of Oz.

I’ve already more or less shared my Bad Boyfriend Theory of Freelancing…but since some time has passed, it may be worth revisiting (…at least briefly)… Let’s say for the sake of argument that I got a call a few weeks … Continue reading →

New York, We Have to Talk…

New York and I have had a good run. For more years than I’d care to admit, we’ve been really happy together. I’ve had plenty of those Only-in-NY Moments. Take, for example, the homeless guy who peed in an empty … Continue reading →
