Last Sunday morning I went to Sur la Table with my friend, Allan, to take a coffee class. One of Allan’s new year’s resolutions is to learn more about food and its preparation so he asked me where he might take some classes. I had read about Sur la Table’s new course schedule in the [...]

Beginning: I Don’t Bake
Posted in cooking, food on December 5, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I have tried my hand at baking. Dessert is my favorite course of any meal. I once read that the body needs something sweet at the end of every meal to know it’s time to stop eating and start digesting. That’s all the motivation I need to give a hearty “Yes!” every time a waiter [...]
Beginning: Professor Cupcake: Teach What You Know and Make Some Money in the Process
Posted in business, cooking, finance, food, teaching on November 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We could learn a lot from a cupcake. Last week, I wrote a post about the point of all teaching – to help others rise. That statement can be taken literally and figuratively, as I recently found out through a cupcake baking class at Butter Lane Bakery. Joe, our teacher and cupcake baker (and frosting!) [...]
Beginning: May 20th, pizzelle cookies, and my Grandmother, Sadie
Posted in cooking, family, food, grandmother, memory on May 20, 2011 | 2 Comments »
May 20th is a date that has a lot of significance for me. It’s the date that I graduated from college and from business school, two enormous milestones in my life. More importantly, May 20th was my Grammy’s birthday. She passed away 11 years ago, 2 weeks before my birthday, and every day since she [...]

“People are at their best when they eat together.” ~ Matthew Sanford I heard Matthew Sanford speak at the Yoga Journal Conference in New York this past weekend. I recently finished up his book Waking, about the car accident that left him paralyzed at age 13 and his yogic path that truly created his healing [...]

Yesterday I read the transcript of an interview between Brian Clark of Copyblogger and Jason Fried, Co-founder of 37Signals. The interview is part of a series that Brian is using to kick-off his initiative Lateral Action, a program to support would-entrepreneurs as they take the leap into their own businesses. Now that I’ve started Compass [...]
My Year of Hopefulness – Charm City Cakes
Posted in business, cooking, food, television on February 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
President’s Day was a company holiday. Hooray! So how did I spend it? I slept in (a little), did a couple of errands, some writing, some research, watched the Ace of Cakes marathon (for 5 hours) on the Food Network, and met my friends Linda and Monika for a glass of wine at City Winery. [...]

That delightful time of year has arrived again: the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and we can stuff our faces with the sweet, yummy goodness of cupcakes while doing some good in the world. The annual celebration of Cupcakes for a Cause kicked off today to benefit Cancercare for Kids. For the remainder [...]
I understand Rachel Ray and Hillary Clinton
Posted in cooking, holiday, New York on December 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A number of years ago, Hillary Clinton was criticized in the press because she said she was not a woman who was going to stay home and bake cookies. On her cooking shows, Rachel Ray continually talks about her inability and lack of interest in baking. I totally get it – I’m not the kind [...]
