This week, Marie Claire, unleashed another gem of journalistic wisdom in hopes of letting us all know that fat people? Kind of make them want to barf. Which is weird, because the article was couched between a slightly pornographic Kim Kardashian ad for QuickTrim and a link to another post entitled “The New Diet Pill: [...]

The Bareass Contessa
Posted in the sizequeen cooks, tagged cooking, Project Tasteless on October 24, 2010 | 14 Comments »
At first glance, Ina Garten and I have a lot in common. When our husbands head off on business trips, we hang with our gays, we’re all about getting “back to basics” and using “good” ingredients, we both have a deep appreciation for dark-wash denim shirts. But sadly, Ina and I are different in one [...]
Two Birds, One Stone

While I have a moral aversion to the literal meaning of the saying, I’m a huge fan of situations that are the essence of “killing two birds with one stone.” Picking-up ass-expensive prescription dog food while on our way to try a new restaurant near our ass-out-of-the-way vet? Awesome. Celebrating my mom’s birthday at our [...]

It’s Kind of Like High School Graduation…But Better!
Posted in Uncategorized on October 7, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Remember when you graduated from high school and you promised all of your high school BFFL’s that you’d be, well, BFFL’s for life? We all know that it didn’t exactly work out that way, because you know what? Everything changes. And, so, just like your relationship with your “best friend,” who totally ended-up sleeping with [...]
Wine Tasting for Schmucks
Posted in life in the big city, Wine, tagged chicago, wine on October 7, 2010 | 6 Comments »
I love wine. My husband loves wine. I like to think of us as the poster-couple for Wine Spectator‘s younger, urban cousin. But then I realize that I oftentimes describe my ideal wine using terms like, cheap, high alcohol content, and preferably a screw-cap and I am quickly reminded as to why I am so [...]

Oy vay. So unless you’re living in a Twitter-free, non-health-blog universe, you’ve probably heard about the Marie Claire debacle, or as I have affectionately named it, MC-gate. The full article can be found here. In a nutshell: Marie Claire contributor, Katie Drummond basically read the riot act to six of the healthy living blog community’s [...]
Sunday Funday: I Might Actually be “a Runner”
Posted in life in the big city, sunday funday, workin' on my fitness, tagged chicago, road races, running on October 3, 2010 | 7 Comments »
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Sunday Funday post but today was just too fun to go undocumented. I got started bright and early so that I could run the Bucktown 5k. I’ve never run it before, but every year, when I roll out of bed at 10am the first Sunday in October, [...]
