TREATISE ON YOGA PANTS
Yes, the most comfortable pants in the world are yoga pants. But they were made to be worn to yoga class. Or at your own home, when guests are not coming over.

FOR THE LOVE OF BIVALVES
Of all the bivalves out there (clams, scallops and mussels, to name a few), oysters are my favorite. In general, I prefer the briny East Coast varietals but on the other hand, the sweet Kumamotos from Pacific Northwest are equally delicious (albeit in a completely different way).

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS (FRENCH EDITION)
Sleeping in. The hot shower/cold beer combo. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of strong coffee. Long brunches that include Bloody Marys and Eggs Benedict. Tulips. Falling asleep in a hammock. Playing Banagrams with my friends (and winning, obviously). People watching. This is the short (and PG-rated) list of a few of my favorite things. The list changes seasonally. ... Read More » -
