Dining Tables

February 26, 2012

Since we moved five years ago into our 1920s Dutch-colonial house, we’d been dining on the same small cherry-wood pedestal table from our Brooklyn brownstone.

Food Trailers In Portland, Oregon

September 17, 2011

We recently spent a few days in Portland, Oregon for a wedding. This was our first time. It’s a wonderful city with a lot to love — beautiful scenery, progressive green town, art, music, history, breweries and coffee shops. But one thing I especially love: the food-trailer scene.
