What if Whole Foods is Really Whole Fibs

I just got back from a trip to Whole Foods and quite honestly, I was disgusted with the place.  It was immaculate with lots of eager help but they didn’t have asparagus! Really? It’s asparagus season! My farmstand in the Hamptons was riddled with asparagus – I couldn’t eat enough this weekend.  One would think […]

In the Merry Old Land of Oz

Ok, I have to admit that I watched that movie every year as a child.  I forget what time of the year it was always shown, but I just couldn’t get enough of the wicked witch flying on her broom – oh who am I kidding – it was always the ruby slippers. I wanted […]

Long Island…. Medium

So, I decided that I needed to get some new work-out gear for the city.  As you know, I recently installed a complete medical fitness facility in my office so my trainer, Shane, no longer comes to my home but we train at my office. While on paper, that idea seemed like a good one; […]

Keep On Trucking Baby

I am not talking about the first solo hit from Eddie Kendricks from The Temptations.  I am talking about the plethora of food trucks.  Are we that hungry that we can’t even go into a store to eat, but we have to eat at the curb?  Even Chick-fil-a is launching a food truck.  Can someone […]

Rage Against The Machine

I had a really good idea for a blog this week but it is going to have to wait until next week.  I guess even the Long Island Medium didn’t see this one coming.  I was watching 60 Minutes when this past weekend and they did a giant expose on sugar – discussing all of […]

The Hunger Games

Before I get into the obvious reason why this week’s blog is so entitled, I have been wanting to discuss the fact that 1 in 6 Americans go to bed hungry.  That is a shocking statistic when 2/3 of all Americans are either overweight or obese.  That would mean that there is only 1 in […]

The Best Part of Vacation

We all have our favorite part of being on vacation. My favorite part is when I get home because then I get to watch marathons of my television shows that are on my DVR.  I was so excited to come home and be able to watch Bethenny Ever After (5 episodes but I smell divorce); […]

Freedom Is Just Another Word

Freedom is that moment of calm before the fear sets in.  No matter what you’ve freed yourself from you only get so far down the road before you are forced to make a choice and sentence yourself to the next adventure. I wish I had written that because it so eloquently has meaning on many […]

The Four Seasons

While many of you may immediately think of the upscale hotel chain as I often do; or just the usual spring, summer, winter and fall, I am thinking this morning of the four seasons that occur in Los Angeles: the Rainy season (which often doesn’t happen), Pilot season (when all the new television shows get […]

Another One Bites The Dust…

Is it shocking to hear that Paula Deen has diabetes? It was officially announced on Friday but the National Enquirer reported it last April so if you ever doubt their stories again, you ought to think twice.  It comes as no surprise that the queen of carbohydrates stuffed with sugar, glazed with sugar and then […]

Back To Life….Back to Reality

Back to Life…Back to Reality Reality TV that is!  Mob Wives is back and I couldn’t be happier. There have been only two episodes so far and already someone has almost died and there was a bang down knock out cat fight.  Yum!!!! But, that’s not really my point.  I hope everyone had a wonderful […]

Yes Virginia, There is a National Cupcake Day

As I sit down to write this holiday inspirational, I can’t get the thoughts of the creepiest, most eerie season finale of Dexter out of my mind.  It was Dex-tacular.  And the reason it was so good, and probably the reason I watch television is because TV works on so many different levels – emotional, […]

Pain, Pain Go Away

It’s hard to believe the holidays are upon us.  At least for those of us in the northeast, we have had unseasonably mild weather and for the first time this weekend, it actually felt like December. I have been in the Hamptons for the past few days and if you’ve never been here at this […]

Faux-Giving

That is the holiday I just enjoyed.  This tradition started several years ago because in all fairness, it is next to impossible to work all week, shop for food and have it ready by Thursday.  So, a few years ago, I decided it would be best to just have Thanksgiving dinner on Friday and hence […]

Man Down in the Carbohydrate Aisle

This is what happened to me yesterday at Costco.  I was minding my own business taking pictures for this blog in the bakery section when all of a sudden – BOOM – I was almost thrown to the floor.  Really???? In your glazed over sugar induced coma, did you not see me standing there? Was […]
