Shira, Etc.

Oh, my pooooor nose! I have officially gone through over 150 tissues in the past three days. Heellow. Can we say “not fun”. Yes. Yes, we can. Friends and co-workers alike have willingly provided me with their amateur diagnoseeees. Most are convinced I have allergies–apparently everyone not from the area magically acquires allergies in March after living here for a while. Some think my recent illness is a reaction to the major sunburn I got last weekend–a sort of sun poison cold paradox, if you will.

Which reminds me, the funniest thing happened the other day. I was walking down the steps on my way home from school when I ran into Concierge Chris and New Media Computer Guru Chris. I stopped to chat and Concierge Chris noticed that I was peeling a tiny bit on my forehead. He immediately rushed to my rescue, saying “Oh, let me get that dry skin for you” and started peeling the skin off my forehead!!!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!! 🙂 HAHHAAHAH. At which point Computer Guru Chris replied “OH, let me get in on that action!”. It was really quite hilarious–an impromptu skin-peeling party at the front entrance of CIA Greystone. Thank goodness I didn’t show them my arms or stomache (which are peeling in huge sheets now, isn’t that nice?), or we might have had to break open a bottle of Continuum and settled in for a real hoe-down.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Everyone! I wish I was going home for corned beef and potatoes and Irish soda bread. Man. It’s so easy to get out-of-touch with the legends and excitement of holidays, isn’t it? I found this interesting article about how to catch leprechauns today. It sounds like a real art–takes a lot of patience. But if you want to give it a go, here’s a good place to start!

Moltenchocolate is back–sorry for the interuption, I know you’re waiting in great anticipation to hear what’s been happening in my life the past few weeks! The most exciting new development is a new gig working in the kitchen with Michael Chiarello of the Food Network’s Easy Entertaining with Michael. It’s just for a few days (for right now anyways, I’m sure when they meet me tomorrow they’ll be so awed by my talent, beauty and charm that they’ll immediately sign me to a five year contract for my own show, What’s Shakin’ with Chef Shira. I’ll be sure to keep you all posted (and send you autographed recipes whem I’m famous…).

Can we say “brrrrrrr”?

Hey everyone! Long time no blog, I know. Let’s break it down:

Things here in the SH are hot and going well–I’m having a big fat superbowl party today!

Jen and I have been hooking up regularly with Cindy Crawford and her professional European fitness trainer, Radu, and as a result we can barely use any of our appendages anymore. No pain, no gain.

I’m very excited for all my peeps coming to visit in February (Carrie and Caitlin all in one month–Can we say “Ding!”)

There’s a line of people behind me, waiting to use this computer, and I need to go whip up some guacamole (one of my new favorite food groups!). Happy Superbowl Sunday!
