You know how they say “better late than never”?
So not true for hurricanes.
So.Not.True.
I need a crash course in natural disaster survival skills.
The earthquake a few days ago? That was a close call.
By which I mean, I thought the girl sitting behind me in lab had moved her brand new super huge Mac desktop, which would obviously cause the entire lab (and the building across the street) to shake. (Neurons – WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE???)
You see what I mean? How can I survive a natural disaster if I’m not even aware that it’s happening?!?!?
I’m doomed.
There are big decisions to be made in this world.
Is it better to sleep with your contacts in? Or take them out after you’ve cut two jalapenos and still have burning fingers even though you’ve showered a grand total of five times and may or may not have dipped your fingers in a bowl of bleach?
Exactly how immoral is it to “borrow” a box of rubber gloves from lab for jalapeno-cutting endeavors such as this?
How immoral is too immoral?

I was recently contacted by the awesome folks at Buitoni letting me know about a contest they’re hosting and as soon as they did, I knew I had to let you guys in on the details. Buitoni is the official pasta sponsor for the New York City Wine and Food Festival. I got to go to one of the tastings at the festival last year…let’s just say I should have worn stretch pants and not skinny jeans.
Anyway, to celebrate, they are giving away two tickets to the festival as well as a trip to NYC for two, including travel and accomodations to one lucky grand prize winner! In addition, 5 first prize winners will win a prize pack of 5 Buitoni VIP coupons!
So now I know you’re asking…how is this possible and how can I make this happen for me. For a chance to win, Twitter followers just have to tweet @Buitoni, tag #NYCWFF #BuitoniTonight and tell or show with a picture how they beautify their meal time. (I’ve seen your posts…I know you all have beautifying skills.) Anyone who does so will have a chance to win! The contest runs from now through August 26th and winners will be announced on September 5th, so get tweeting! You can read and link to the official rules here: http://www.buitoni.com/

You know things are bad when you find me eating mozzarella sticks at 2AM.
In a diner. Across the street from a Doubletree Hotel. In Tarrytown, New York.
Like. Really bad.
French women don’t get fat. That’s, like…a law of nature, right?
So when Patricia Wells, who is basically the queen of Provencal cooking, was next up on Gourmet’s 50 Women Game-Changers in Food (which I am cooking through with a bunch of fabulous bloggers). I had expectations.
(By which I mean, I wanted her to tell me that eating bread and cheese all day every day for the rest of my life was absolutely the way to go.
Sometimes. I only hear what I want to hear.)
