I spent my college years watching Sex & The City with my girlfriends. SATC night was a bonding session that involved food and lots of laughter. Those were memorable times. :-) It shouldn’t be a surprise that I watched it the first night it came out, and I dragged Dan to the show, too! [...]

[Side note: I can't believe I forgot the "You" in the title!]
Are you a big snacker? What do you snack on?
I’m a certified snacker. I don’t eat really big meals, but I eat little bites throughout the day. I get hungry every 3 hours, up to midnight. It’s my body’s functional flaw. [...]
