A Happy Place

A Sunday night steak and potato dinner
I have been writing a blog post for the past 2 days that was nothing more than a cranky rant about things that just aren’t important. This holiday is almost behind us and I am ready to forget it for another year. Im ready to move [...]

It’s Still Hannukah! That Means More Potato Latkes

Festival of Lights

Or, as Mark Bittman says, it’s the Festival of Oil. See, the holiday is about the rededication of the temple. It’s a happy holiday. A festival — a Festival of Lights and we celebrate the miracle of the little bit of consecrated oil that was left, but ended up burning [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons

What a Glorious Day!

Why, you ask? That’s easy. I was home relaxing, not on my feet for 9 hours in the midst of retail mania. Sure I’ll be back to it tomorrow until the big, fat, holiday, but for 24 hours I reveled in nothingness.

Is My Karma THIS Bad? Seriously! and a Childhood Memory

Are You Kidding Me?!!?

I came home to another shock tonight. Yes, I am officially a deliverer of downer news with some horrible karma! There’s no other way to look at this. Those of you that have been following the floor saga won’t believe what you are about to be see.

One of the Justopia.com regulars — a constant, a welcome [...]

Culinary Travels

Moving to Asia
No, not really moving! I wish I was moving to Asia, but what I am talking about here is the fact that we moved from the bistros of France and the Trattorias of Italy to the culinary excitement of Southeast Asia tonight.

A Thing of Silken Beauty and a Trip to 1975

Another Bistro Night

I’m not sure why I get so single minded, so focused on one thing, but for the past week it’s been all about Thomas Keller. First it was the All Clad waffle maker and the beauty of Huevos Rancheros Cornmeal Waffles and then Souffléd Waffles with Strawberries and Cream.

A Nod to Williams-Sonoma and My New Love for French Food

Welcome Comments
I was surprised to see a comment in the old Living the Justopian Life blog the other day. I’m not sure what’s still bringing people in, but once in a blue moon there’s a comment waiting for me. This was an interesting one that bears highlighting.
