Despite having studied abroad in Ireland for a semester in college, I have some sort of mental block when it comes to Irish food: I utterly lack the ability to think beyond corned beef and cabbage. Even if I were, I’m not creative enough to think of interesting ways to prepare the dish (which, to […]
Debbie says that her gourmet mesclun salad is the world’s easiest. And don’t get me wrong, it looks quite easy. But my salad greens are even easier. I’d be shocked if it took five minutes to put them together, ten if you’re washing and tearing up the greens yourself. But let me back up a […]

Honestly, the antics are all a bit silly, particularly in NYC. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the Irish. Some of my best friends are Irish. […]
