Never Seen Snow: APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES FOR UNCONVENTIONAL CHEFS...
http://neverseensnow.blogspot.com/2014/04/appropriate-activities-for.html
Wednesday, April 9, 2014. APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES FOR UNCONVENTIONAL CHEFS. I am a a terrible cook. It's one of those truisms I just can't deny.

Despite all of this, I continue to believe in miracles. I've always been most intimidated by tomatoes. Whenever I try to dice one, it turns into a mushy mess. The woman...

Friday, May 16, 2014. Through the magic of Twitter, I happened upon a cool new project called BREATHER. It's a program created by Julien Smith that rents out little rooms in big cities for short breaks. 8230;and when I say short, I mean hours - not days. Yes, I've rented a private room by the hour. In the middle of New York City. When I told my friends about it, they suggested I'd be wandering into a no-tell-motel…but so far this seems like a sweet little sanctuary in the midst of midtown mayhem. I Contr...
