I’m halfway through the 92 days of walking 10,000 steps (aprox. 5 miles) a day challenge and, according to the pedometer, I’m at a total of 464,427 steps. Not bad.
I’d love to be further ahead but considering our busy schedules (work, french classes, presentations) and how hot it’s been lately, I’m satisfied with just keeping up.

Finally a did an extensive...

I didn’t expect much from Julie & Julia.
I recently read My Life in France and felt giddy and inspired by the tremendous discovery that is Julia Child. I don’t even like cooking all that much, but Julia’s slow bloom as a writer and chef was really comforting to me—a 26-year-old who’s yet to find that thing that I really, really love and can’t stop...
Best of this summer's desserts (so far)
Matt and I have been trying a lot of new, delicious desserts around Park Slope and beyond over the past several months. Here are some of the most memorable.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the screening of Twin Sitters last night at 92YTribeca—thank you to the audience for laughing so heartily and being supportive, and to our wonderful Flophouse co-hosts (Dan, Elliott & Stuart) for making a terrible movie that we’ve already seen several times before seem new and as ridiculous as ever.
Matt and I are still learning how to...
