While I know that blogging rule number one is to never apologize for not writing when life gets in the way, I’m just gonna go ahead and break that rule and explain myself. Here’s why I haven’t written a single word on this blog in more than ten months.
I would in no way classify my Semana Santa trip as a raving success. By the time it was over, I was exhausted, pissed at the world and in need of complete isolation. Of course, it wasn’t all bad. I saw some beautiful places and met some amazing people...
First, I must apologize for the lapse in posting. After arriving to Madrid from the US, I was hit with a heavy case of jet lag that left me disoriented and always looking for the next moment when I could sleep. Then I contracted some sort of stomach bug...
Alright. It’s time for me to cut the crap. While Spain is beautiful and my life seems completely together on paper, I would be lying through my key strokes if I were to sit here and tell you all that everything is as perfect as it seems on Instagram....

I just wanted to get that out-of-the-way in case you were worried. How was your Thanksgiving?? Mine was highly caloric and wonderful and I hope yours was as well. In my last post I discussed my extensive menu and I’m proud to say that I prepared almost everything on...
I’m hosting our Thanksgiving this year. Hence the title of this post. I will admit that I lucked out in the sense that I will only be cooking for myself, my aunt, and my mother (if you have no place to eat this holiday, come join us!), but the...
Oh November…you have been a super weird month and it’s only day 7. I must apologize to you all for disappearing for about a week, but us New Yorkers are still dealing with the effects of Hurricane Sandy. My roommates and I lost power last Monday night, finally got it restored on...
