When A Man Thinks Outside the Box for His Lady & Hires Me = <3
Most of my clients are women.
To date, I’ve had 3 men. What is it with that? I thought fellas were into shaking things up and being inventive in keeping romanticism alive in a thriving (or not) relationship?

Well, I say the same about said men.
I like to be properly courted. Yeah, open the door for me every time I get in…

I had the fun chance to speak with Chef Tracy Griffith just a few days ago. I won’t tell you who she is, so you’ll have to listen to the podcast. You’re in for a treat! This is a time sensitive podcast because of an event she’s hosting tomorrow in Manhattan.
I will say she had me salivating the entire time we were talking and little did she know I was in a daze at times, just thinking about…

Star Anise
Really native to China and India, Star Anise is an evergreen seed we use in our foods to give dishes a distinct flavor. Its licorice aroma and taste definitely makes for a unique flavor. Our primary use though is to alleviate stomach pain and gas associated with acid reflux. I grew up drinking anise tea my mom would make if any of us felt sick. So today I make tea when I don’t feel so well. It really does help! Stick a few stars in boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes. I also have started using it to make drinks and dessert. A new fave spice in my rack!
