Darlene Wilson, today’s Guest-clacker, grew up as a very picky eater (and she hopes her mom forgives her for that!). She started developing an interest in cooking after working at several top NYC restaurants. As a mom, she loves introducing her children to new foods and flavors, but she is not above nuking frozen chicken […]
As a current resident of a certain Mid-Atlantic state that I won’t mention (though Del is aware of it) I don’t get into New York City too often. When I do I like to take in some of the foods that I normally don’t see in the suburbs. Whether it be from a street-side vendor or a […]

It’s a good thing I know how to make the world’s easiest sushi, because my kid loves it. Ever since he turned a year old, when “they” tell us it’s OK for our kids to try raw fish, he’s been eating sushi and telling people it’s his favorite food. We even whipped some up for […]
I’m always shocked, and a little appalled, when I start talking about Nutella and someone doesn’t know what it is. How can someone live their life without knowing about the existence of this amazing chocolate and hazelnut spread? It’s sweet, creamy, with chocolate overtones and hazelnut undertones.
