I wasn’t at work that day. I had a doctor’s appointment. When I first heard the news I made a joke, saying “It’s a good thing I didn’t commute in.” It sounded like someone had mismanaged a stunt plane. My office was in midtown, but I knew the train schedules would be a mess.

I backed out of my parking spot so fast I almost hit an oncoming car, and drove home with the pedal…

What’s better than cooking, eating, drinking and talking food and wine with people who love (ok, are obsessed with) the subject as much as you? Not much! We had our first food blogger playdate back in September in the Martha Stewart test kitchens, so Chef Mark decided to arrange another because these gatherings are just so much fun. This time we headed to Chelsea, where our wonderful host Tommy threw open his doors so we could run amok in his beautiful kitchen. Our fellow bloggers and food friends arrived with cameras, wines and spirits (both physical and otherwise) ready for…
