Mango: The comfort fruit
Once during my brief stint in culinary school I applied for an internship at a New York food website. As a test, they asked me to write about a fruit or vegetable. I chose the mango and deemed it my comfort fruit. I wrote of memories of hot beach days biting into a ripe mango […]
My first slow food dinner
Last night I went to a Slow Food Miami dinner at North One Ten. I signed up not really knowing what to expect, but I had read about the slow food movement and was curious to find out more. Lucky for me, the theme of the meal was mangos — which reminds me, stay tuned […]

A lovely evening of dining with strangers
We arrived at the warehouse-type building in the Design District, where the offices of Metro 1 Properties are housed, at 8 p.m. sharp - bottle of wine and dog bed at hand.
The Ghetto Gourmet (GG) was serving dinner.
Greeting us at the door was Jeremy Townsend, one of the GG founders, and Alice, his wife. He […]

For all of you Tyler fans
This just into my inbox. Tyler Florence will be at Books & Books Miami Beach this Sunday signing his new book Tyler’s Ultimate. I, sadly, will be out of town but I know there’s at least one huge fan out there. Tere? The website says time is still to be determined. Calls to Books & […]
Food Destinations #4 round-up
Shortly after starting this blog in August of last year, I discovered so-called food blogging events. Assignments of sorts hosted by a particular blogger on a particular theme.
When I came across Food Destinations, an event created by Maki of I was just really very hungry, I decided to be brave and participate in my first […]
Spice it up at Penzeys (Houston)
For Food Destinations #4, a blogging event created by Maki of I was just really very hungry, I asked bloggers to write about their favorite gourmet gift shop. Even though there are many great shops in Miami, I discovered a wonderful store while in Houston, where I spent the last two weeks visiting family […]
Announcing Food Destinations #4: My Favorite Gourmet Gift Shopping Spot

Lick My Ribs!
Finally. After so long I’m making a moment for Mango & Lime. No, I’m not abandoning it for good and no, I haven’t stopped eating. The past two weeks have been a whirlind in every way and unfortunately I had few opportunities to sit and write. That is not to say that I have a […]

Announcement: Miami Cross Blogination
On Tuesday, September 19, you might stumble upon an unfamiliar sight on this blog. Why? It’s called Miami Cross Blogination, an event dreamed up by Rebecca of Greener Miami, in which 22 Miami bloggers swap blogs for a day.
Two for Tuesday at Perricone’s
I love good deals. At almost 29, I find myself in the same predicament as friends when it comes to money — we have to make an effort to make it stretch. Doesn’t matter how much we earn or try to save, we have to pay Miami rent prices after all. Among my money-saving strategies, […]
Eating for a cause
I came across another dining event for us Miamians: Restaurants for Relief 2. This one’s actually a nationwide event, but several Miami restaurants are involved. Here’s how it works: Dine out on Tuesday, August 29 at participating restaurants and part of the proceeds go to help victims of Hurrican Katrina. The list specifies what each […]
