I got off the plane and basically went straight over to church to help decorate. How gorgeous is that!?!Continue reading Christmas Cauliflower-Crust Flatbread!
Lessons in da Club
OK, you seriously can’t make this stuff up, guys. ANOTHER weird incident happened at church yesterday. So, as you may recall, the last four Sundays, something peculiar has occurred at Mass. This time, it involved me calling 9-1-1. To refresh: #1: The homeless man who chugged the communion wine and exited with a ruckus. #2:Continue reading Lessons in da Club
Cherishing Time
It’s 7:30 am. In typical New York City fashion, there are sirens going outside. Nothing unusual. I woke up to snow blanketing the sidewalks and the streets below. It makes NYC seem softer. Less like the intimidating, eat-you-alive city that it is. My mom is visiting. We’ve been shopping, eating and enjoying our way thoughContinue reading Cherishing Time
Too Close for Comfort
Lately I feel as though I’m attracting some really bizarre situations. Everything from the homeless man that disrupted Mass after chugging the entire chalice of wine, to the literal miracle that took place last Sunday, and now to tonight’s caper…for some reason, weird stuff seems to follow me wherever I go. First, quickly, I justContinue reading Too Close for Comfort

Walking the Talk
I had a pretty unforgettable experience the other day. It was a Friday afternoon. I had a free hour or so, which hardly ever happens, and so I thought I’d go to evening mass. And I decided to go to a church I had never been to before in midtown NYC. Like I mentioned previously…I’mContinue reading Walking the Talk
