Welcome New DearSugar!!
Hey Everyone!
We just wanted to let you know that the new DearSugar has arrived!
The new DearSugar will offer you more choices, more ideas, and more fantastic features about life, love, and being happy.
Does It Annoy You When a Restaurant's Menu Is Not Online?
The other day DearSugar was complaining because she couldn't find a restaurant's menu online. While I prefer not to check out a menu before eating out, sometimes it's nice to look at the price range. And if the menu is not online, it can be annoying.
How to Tell When Lunch Meats Are Bad
The other day DearSugar dragged me to the kitchen and asked me to inspect her sliced deli turkey. It had been sitting in the fridge for more than a couple of days and she wasn't sure if the turkey was still edible or not. I explained that there are several ways to tell when cold cuts have gone bad: - Start by looking at the sell by date.
Let's Dish: What Are Your Culinary Routines?
Every Monday through Friday, at 11:30 in the morning, I like to eat a banana. I've been performing this culinary ritual for at least the past two years. I know I'm not the only one who has a food routine: for as long as I can remember, I've watched DearSugar eat a salad every day for lunch.
Come Party With Me: 30th Birthday — Invite
Whether you dread or embrace it, turning 30 is definitely a milestone worth celebrating. Later this month it's DearSugar's 30th birthday. To ensure she commemorates the occasion in style, I'm helping her plan the party.
What Are You Drinking With Your Thanksgiving Meal?
PartySugar and I have already planned our Thanksgiving menus, and now we're just eagerly awaiting the big day. To distract our giddy selves, we had a discussion about what we're serving to drink at Thanksgiving dinner. She'll be serving a citrus spritzer, Champagne, and Beaujolais, while DearSugar will be drinking red, white, and bubbly.
Gravy: Love It or Hate It?
I have a love/hate relationship with gravy. I love the rich, creamy flavor of it and enjoy pouring it over the entire Thanksgiving meal (minus the cranberry, of course), but I hate making it.
As you can tell from this snapshot taken at Thanksgiving last year, for some reason, making gravy seriously stresses me out!
Off to Market Recap: Immersion Blender
The immersion blender is a great kitchen gadget that's especially useful in cooler months when soup making is a frequent activity. Although I have an immersion blender I love, DearSugar does not.
I asked you to help me find her the perfect immersion blender.
Do or Don't: Putting Your Napkin on the Plate?
Yesterday DearSugar and I got into a debate about what you should do with your napkin when finished eating a meal. She said it was tacky and rude to put your napkin on the plate, but I told her I've done it before. What do you think?
What Would You Do?
We've all been in crazy situations, and I want to know how you handle entertaining fiascoes and bad restaurant behavior. I'll present a situation and you tell me what you would do. Here's today's scenario:
You're out at a popular luxury hotel's bar.
