The night of our 4th anniversary (2 months ago today!), Jen and I celebrated by treating ourselves to dinner at the highly overrated French restaurant, Chez Sophie, inside The Saratoga hotel. We’d heard nothing but good things about Chez Sophie, so our expectations were high — as they should be when you’re paying upwards of […]

Inspired last night by Alex & Cati’s infamous pizza-ettes (see here and here), Jen and I decided to take a stab at making them ourselves (OK, well mostly Jen, but I did more than my fair share in eating them!). We made 4 of the wheat pita-based wonders — 2 with feta and artichoke hearts […]

There are a lot of reasons people don’t eat meat and each of us has his own: Maybe you don’t like the way animals are treated, perhaps you’re sketched out by the hormones with which animals are injected, maybe you’ve read Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation, or it could be that you simply don’t enjoy […]

To celebrate Valentine’s Day last night — something we haven’t always done — Jen and I hit Dine, one of the nicest restaurants in Saratoga Springs. Our first time there was last June and we were really blown away. The service was impeccable, the food out of this world; it was a rare and welcome […]

Most of you who know me know that I love Indian food. In San Francisco, Jen and I were fortunate enough to live a block from the most excellent Naan ‘n Curry (Inner Sunset edition) — damn good and damn cheap. The two of us could go there for dinner, bring our own beer, and […]
