Coming up for air from the chaos of a new school year, I baked some “12 Men on the Field” cupcakes: rich chocolate cake (I used Chloe‘s celebration cake), vanilla buttercream filling, chocolate ganache-topped with a vegan royal icing football laces. 3 types of icings for every cupcake. I’m not Read more…

Before the baseball game, we hit the all-vegan bakery on Long Island, Sweet to Lick. I got the orange creamsicle cupcake. Then a vegan hot dog at Citi Field, with all the fixins. A delicious day topped with a free canvas of David Wright’s tongue.

Somehow the baseball season is now upon us! With 2012 lying fast and the spring sun shining strong, the second day of the Mets season proved to be the perfect day for a baseball. With nary a cloud in the sky, the Mets would continue undefeated. And for an exorbitant Read more…

Ever since Wok Man and I retreated to Western Massachusetts for some rustic living in October of 2008 (blogged here), we’ve wanted to bring a large group to Noble View‘s farmhouse. This past weekend, about 5 months since the initial plan was brought to court, a group of 15 intrepid Read more…

Today’s Mets vs. Marlins game may be the last game played in New York’s Shea Stadium. I say “may” because it is my hope that they’ll be playing the Milwaukee Brewers in sudden death as they’re both tied for the National League wildcard. This is exciting on many levels, mostly Read more…

Sure, I am a New York Mets fan. But even a Mets fan can enjoy free field level seats behind home plate at Yankees Stadium. Yes, home of the New York Yankees. And that superstar heart throb Jeter, all pompous and blowing bubbles with his bubblegum while he slides into Read more…
