Egg Whites, Please?
Sitting with some friends at brunch the other day, I silently discovered a deep seeded problem I have. I am terrified to ask for what I want. Not simply, "I am a little nervous to voice my desires" but rather, "if I say what I want people will hate me and reject me and I'll… Continue reading Egg Whites, Please?

The Cheese That Makes The Man – Part 1
For as long as I can remember I have had a ritual on first dates that helps me figure out if a guy is right for me or not. I ask what his favorite cheese is.
