Food. Stories. Drinks. Film Reviews. Scripts.

Welcome! Being a writer, cineaphile, and foodie, I wanted a place to bring all of my loves together. Stories and the breaking of bread and sharing of wine are what bring people together. Here are some of my favorite places, recipes, memories, stories, scripts, and film reviews. I hope you enjoy!

Feast: Friendsgiving 2014

Like some of my other meals, Tomatonista for instance, this is an annual event. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, so why limit ourselves to one? I try to host a friendsgiving every year. One or two I don't have photos for. But here is 2014.
