Signature Shari: March 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. Tourist in My Own Town - Part III. Sunday morning and we are up and at 'em for dim sum! We arranged to meet Chris and Sharon at a place in Millbrae where none of us had been before. With a name like "The Kitchen", we were skeptical about the dim sum part. "Sounds like Denny's", I remarked to Chrissy, but we headed out anyway, excited to see Chris and Sharon (whom we had randomly tracked down in Sevilla, Spain a couple of years earlier and whom Chrissy hadn't seen since). The food ...

Signature Shari: June 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. The government is after me. (No, not like THAT - I'm transitioning from legit visa holder to legit greencard holder as we speak! The government is after me to fill out a 28 page form that I believe is technically for the census, but it's actually cleverly called "The American Community Survey" - cozy, huh? And mostly, since I'm not a citizen and don't get to vote, I figure this is the closest I'll get to having some input on things for a while! And now they are peppering me with l...

Signature Shari: August 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 29, 2009. A magazine (that shall remain nameless, but note that it is not one of the titles published by the media company for whom I work) keeps sending me emails saying "Shari, we want you back! On its own, it's quite a flattering statement (especially with the emphatic exclamation point adding just that extra bit of well,. They want me back) and when I opened up the email, the line that immediately jumped out at me (because it was bolded) was "we want another chance". This past Saturd...

Signature Shari: Chocolate Ice Cream or "Like Water for Chocolate"?
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009/01/chocolate-ice-cream-or-like-water-for.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Chocolate Ice Cream or. Like Water for Chocolate". I am a constant reader, so it's not unusual for me to have a few books on my nightstand at any given time, but even Special K knew that something was a little odd since I literally had books. And in almost every room. I hadn't thought about it before, but when he pointed it out, I blurted, "They make me feel good! And that's when I realized it. books are my comfort food. I walk into Costco with a list (and coupons for those lis...

Signature Shari: The Future of Comfort Food
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009/08/future-of-comfort-food.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. The Future of Comfort Food. A few months ago, I wrote a post. Describing how books are my mashed potatoes, my mac and cheese, my triple chocolate layered upside down cake (wha? In short, they are my comfort food. I have loved to read since I, well,. Well, comfort food has just been taken to the next level! Of books in one. (Knowing my addiction to the printed word, you will understand how happy this makes me! And now, when I read in bed at night before lights out, Special K gig...

Signature Shari: February 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2009. In the Eye of the Beholder. On a bit of a whim today, I decided to go to the San Jose Museum of Art downtown. My Fodor's guide to NoCal uses a star to indicate that it's one of their recommended picks and suggests that the SJ Museum doesn't try to compete with the larger art museums in San Francisco, but rather that it "does its own thing". And then I entered the gallery where the permanent collection was housed. I kid you not. I read a bit further to find out that the dried ...

Signature Shari: July 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Mad About, Well. Men. And who wouldn't be? I openly admit it - I'm obsessed with the AMC darling "Mad Men", the series that chronicles the personal and professional trials and tribulations of a group of advertising men (and women) on Madison Avenue during the 1950's and 60's. So, when Sarah forwarded a link to "Mad Men Yourself". I was all over it like a dirty martini. Look out Don Draper - there's a new mad woman in town! Sunday, July 26, 2009. Keep it Down Up There! They just bo...

Signature Shari: April 2009
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. It's Not Kidnapping if He Comes Along Willingly. As we gathered our wallets and sunglasses, we polled the rest of the office to see if anyone else wanted to join us. but alas, no takers. Down in the parking lot, as I backed out of my spot, I spied our principal scientist coming out the front door of the office building and I rolled down the window, leaning across Jessica in the passenger seat to yell "Hey, Magnus! Get in the car! Sunday, April 5, 2009. The Opposite of Lent.

Signature Shari: An Evening with the Masters
http://signatureshari.blogspot.com/2009/08/evening-with-masters.html
Monday, August 17, 2009. An Evening with the Masters. This past Saturday night, Special K and went to see the renowned Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach (thanks, LLW, for the tickets! The Pageant bills itself as a place "where art comes to life" and this couldn't be further from the truth. It's so hard to explain, but you will be absolutely awed. At one point about 20 minutes into the show, they bring up the house lights and actually deconstruct how the tableaux are put together. Even when y...An Ev...

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Taking a Stroll at MoMA. For those of you who immediately honed in on the image to the right and wondered, "OMG, is Shari not telling us something? The answer is NO - I'm not in any remote position to even. Actually having a stroller in my possession. Ok, now that we have that cleared up, I will tell you how the picture of this particular stroller came to be on my blog. On display in MoMA. And before those women could give me a look just dripping with disdain, I quickly explai...
