Funchilde

I struggled for months to think of how to re-approach this blog, my blog, a summary of some of the best years of my life, in words. And finally, I am just going to start. Again. No grand entrance, no re-cap of the last 18 months other than to say that I worked, I played, [...]

Today is my 35th Birthday. Maybe if I say or type that enough times it’ll sink in. Today is my thirty-fifth birthday. Nope. It’s still surreal. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that I am 15 years from 20 years old and 15 years from being 50 years old. I’m closer to middle-age [...]

Despite the fiasco that was The Oyster Incident of 2008, I ventured forth and took another cooking class (#247) with two of my favorite colleagues, CJ (Left) and Bubbles (R). This class was “Pot Pies & Meat Pies” and it was deliciously fun. We made little pot pies full of all kinds of goody goodness [...]

One of the BEST gifts I’ve gotten recently is a Harry & David’s gift box! The box was too much for me to consume on my own and it came at the PERFECT time. I brought the box into the office of my New England client, and shared it during a recent all day staff meeting. AND, we polished the goodies off with a [...]

  *click on photo to see “notes” If this wasn’t so funny, I’d probably be more embarassed. Because I like to cook, and I like to take cooking classes, I have a repuation as a good cook. Which, of course, I am. However, every now and then, something goes horribly awry. A couple of weeks [...]

No rest for the weary. I am headed to Atlanta for a major event for my NY client. If anyone wants to catch up while I’m there, e-mail me at funchilde@yahoo(dot)com. Among other things, I am looking forward to being warm(er)!

My world has been Baracked. Hat tip to Erica. I too, have contributed to a political campaign for the first time ever. I was compelled to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, because really? It is time for a change, and we ARE the ones we’ve been waiting for. My good [...]

1. We got 6-8 more inches last night. Of snow, you pervs! I basically just gave up and went into the office an hour late in jeans and a sweatshirt. 2. I pulled a muscle in my thigh/groin. Unfortunately, not via any activity that would make such pain worth it. 3. I’m going to the [...]

  Let me just admit that I am flabbergasted. Really, just not even able to process the amount of snow there is up here. Inches, feet, piles and drifts. Blankets of snow, hiding sheets of ice. I never thought I could be tired of snow, but I am.so.ready. for spring. Bygones.  

Happy belated Valentine’s day yall! I was up to the usual ridicularity. I had hibachi with KJ, Charles and Papaya, drank some beer and fell asleep with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head (or maybe I was drunk!..just kidding). In a fit of unmitigated domesticity I baked mini-cupcakes for friends and colleagues! I [...]
