Quote of the Week 9/16/13

September 16, 2013

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday special. It was a great weekend and I had so much fun! But now it’s back to the real world, which means getting ready to be a bridesmaid in 2 weddings in the next 2 months. Time to diet. Wooo.

This week’s quote comes from Jarod Kintz, author of “E-mails from a Madman.” Enjoy your week!

“I want to lose weight by eating nothing but moon pies, which have significantly less gravity than earthier foods such as fruits and vegetables.”
–Jarod Kintz

I know that feel.

Quote of the Week 9/9/13

September 9, 2013

It’s mah birthday week (Friday!!) It’s also restaurant week! Which means that my dieting plans have gone severely astray. On the bright side, that means lots of restaurant reviews for the next couple of weeks.

This week’s quote is in honor of annoying a bunch of restaurant people with my food photography. Enjoy!

“Food is to eat, not to frame and hang on the wall.”
–William Denton

I couldn’t find a picture of Mr. Denton, so instead I’m using this picture of me eating food so that we all get what we want.

September 3, 2013

I hope everyone had a very fun and eventful Labor Day weekend! Mine was very busy, but that’s how I like to live.

This week’s quote is from one of my favorite movies, and I attribute this quote to being the reason I wanted to open my own bakery. Enjoy!

“I just figured if I was going to make the world a better place, I’d do it with cookies.”
~ Ana Pascal, Stranger Than Fiction

Something about her just reminds me of myself.

Quote of the Week 8/26/13

August 27, 2013

This past weekend I went to Boston to move Naomi in, and attended the Feast of St. Anthony for the second year in a row. It was a gluttonous afternoon full of rice balls, pizza, and cannoli. It was amazing.

Naomi didn’t get the chance to enjoy everything I did, because she’s decided to be a vegetarian and forsake all things fun. Therefore, this week’s quote is in her honor.

“I didn’t fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.”
— Erma Bombeck

She’s waving goodbye to your social life, Naomi.

“Soup is just a way of screwing you out of a meal.”

But thank God for Jimmy Fallon!

How is it August already? Time is flying by. I can’t believe the summer is almost over!!

This week’s quote comes from the beautiful Sophia Loren. I chose this quote because dieting is hard and pasta is delicious.

“Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.”
–Sophia Loren

Never interrupt me when I’m eating pasta. via tumblr

Quote of the Week 7/29/13

July 30, 2013

Sorry I’ve been a little slack on the quotes this month. Things are finally starting to settle down, so I’ll be much more diligent (hopefully).

This week’s quote comes from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle In Time (among other things). This quote pretty much sums up my past couple of weeks. I may have been taking it a little too literally, and therefore am off to the gym. Ta ta!

“That’s something I’ve noticed about food: whenever there’s a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better. ”
–Madeleine L’Engle

If I’m ever in a crisis, someone should bring me mac and cheese.

This week’s quote is in honor of the brewery tour I went on Saturday with Lauren, Ben, Doug, Regina, and Regina’s mom and Brother AND our VIP friends John and Laura. Hope everyone’s having a great week! I know I’ve been slack on my restaurant reviews, but I’ll pick it back up on Friday, I promise!

“Beer is good food”
–Rita Rudner

Can your breakfast do that?

Quote of the Week 7/8/13

July 9, 2013

This past week saw a nice long road trip to Cleveland, OH with some of my bestest friends in honor of 4th of July and my cousin’s high school graduation (which explains why I’ve been so MIA the past week. Internet is expensive and I went over my data with Verizon). In case you didn’t know, 11 hours in a car is a mind-numbingly long time. Definitely not in a hurry to do that again. Road trips are overrated.

We did manage to eat some pretty delicious food while in Cleveland, so expect some Ohio restaurant reviews in the coming weeks. I looked up a bunch of restaurants in Cleveland that have been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and made a list of places I wanted to go. We only ended up visiting one (Lucky’s Cafe), which was delicious. Next time I’ll try to cross the others off my list.

This week’s quote is in honor my road trip and comes from journalist Charles Kuralt.

“You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.”
–Charles Kuralt

You gotta admire a man who can pose with a parking meter and still look cool.

Happy Almost-Independence-Day everyone! Hopefully you all have a short week this week and you spend lots of time eating and drinking and blowing crap up with people you love!

This week’s quote comes from Chinese writer Lin Yutang and is in honor of July 4th (hot dogs and hamburgers anyone?).
