Norma’s at The Parker, they said. It’s a Parker Meridien, they said. Yea….well… This door is my dream… The bar was made of Quartz, just as the Delano or the Tides…. Ok I feel at home…I can work with this…. I made brunch reservations because I HAD to…. It was like Grandma’s living room. On…

Listen to This
A perfect start to a Friday morning, Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam. The Walkmen’s lead singer in the front, arguably one of modern rock’s sexiest voices, accompanied by some Vampire Weekend in the back. You’ll be listening on repeat.
Getting Lucky In Kentucky
I recently spent a couple days in Louisville for a meeting and tried to take in as much of the town as possible. While, it has it’s cute spots, really a couple days seemed plenty. Here’s what it looked like. DRINK: Proof at the 21C Hotel. Creative cocktails come to life with the help of burners!! behind…
Final Round & Closing Ceremony
Glad this project is over since I already won gold on day one. Taste: 2/10, Ryan Lochte peed on it Spread ability: 2/10, it’s a solid Texture: 2/10, exfoliant grit Great news! Just buy yourself some vanilla almond butter and make your taste buds happy. If you’re into deep facial exfoliation, try the others.
Round 2…
Today on deck: honey almond butter. Taste: 5/10, thick and not nearly as sweet as the last version. Spread ability: 5/10, more oily Texture: 6/10, less grit than a facial expholiant

The first specimen was… Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter…. Taste: 10, OMG! Tongue is…
Cheesy Pooooofs
I recently made these gorgeous creatures for a dinner party stater. So easy and quick, your spawn could do it! That is… If you remembered to thaw the puff pastry….which I didn’t. Thankfully, 30 minutes on the counter while showered and pulled an outfit together worked out just perfectly. Cheesy Poofs – Classy Edition One…
The Best Way to Cheat
Your Friday night side chick (or f*@k boy) is now a fake pizza. It’s like your main pizza, but offers you things he can’t..like…multiples…err multiple servings of vegetables and very few carbs. Maybe there could be a serious relationship here after all? I make this dish A LOT. And every time I make it, I…
I’ll Cut You
My new place is slowly coming together. It’s been quite fun to unpack and get organised and even bring a few new friends home to live in my kitchen. Let’s meet them now, shall we? First up are these lovely Laguiole steak knives. I’ve always admired this design and the rainbow of colours that this…
I’m in Love with the Coco
One of the most uplifting things about being single after being not for a while is that all of your friends want to help you move or feed you wine and make sure that you’re safe. While it’s hard to imagine little lady friends moving dressers and mattresses during my recent twice weekly moving debacle,…
