It's been an eventful year at my place. For one thing, the place itself has completely changed: My husband and cat and I said goodbye to our tiny apartment in Hell's Kitchen and bought (bought! I still can't believe it!) a not-huge-but-nowhere-near-as-tiny apartment across town, on…

I've always snickered at (or been mildly offended by) commercials that make finding the right cleaning product seem like a conversion experience. Can extra-special soap really make the world feel new? Is it even possible for the tile in my bathroom to sparkle like the tile on TV? (My tile is…

The weather here in Manhattan has been all over the place: In the space of just an hour yesterday morning, we had bright (albeit gray) skies, a delicate snowfall, an apocalyptic dump of snow (we couldn't even see the building across the street!), and dismal rain. The common…

Years ago, during my first marriage, my then-husband and I worked our way from white wines to red, learning as we went. After a time, our "house wine" became Ruffino Riserva Ducale chianti, which…

When my guy Rich moved into my home, Country Crock moved into my fridge. I am a strict butter girl, and always have been in fact, when I was in middle school my mom went on an I Can't Believe It's Not Butter kick and I rebelled, to the point where she made me submit to a blind taste test…

I've spent all of my post-college life living in old city apartments. In many ways, the details have been lovely: Our first place in San Francisco had a working fireplace and a window seat in the bedroom, our sublet loft in Brooklyn had a sky-high ceiling, and we've now got ornate wrought…
