Flavors: New Year's Eve
Well, Christmas has come and gone, and I’m bummed. There’s no more decorating to do, no more gifts to open, no Christmas carols on the radio and all the holiday shows are gone from the tv.
But wait a second……THERE’S STILL ONE HOLIDAY SPECIAL LEFT!!!!!
And now it’s time to ring the New Year in right! New...

Hope you all had a great Christmas! Matt surprised me with a Nintendo 3DS with my favorite game of all time- The Legend of Zelda- Ocarina of Time (in 3D!). I had no idea I needed this thing, but now I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT. So quick- to whatever needs to happen right now so I can get back to my game:
NEW YEAR’S EVE ORDERING! Now that Union is over I’m getting back to being...

Christmas Eve
We have packed up for the last time at Union Square Market and have gone home. I’ve just taken a hot shower, thrown on “It’s A Wonderful Life”, and am about to go pick up my kids and spend Christmas Eve with the best type of friends- the ones who have known me forever. We’ll soon put the boys to bed and set out apple juice and pretzels for Santa, and settle in...

New Post on Nona Brooklyn!
It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve written anything for Nona. I’ve got a whole bunch of essays half started, but then between work on the book proposal and the business plan and the running the business and taking care of the kids etc etc etc, my “writing for fun” sort of gets the shaft.
Last week, Peter Hobbs, the most understanding editor in the whole...

Who’s done with their holiday shopping? NOT ME! I spent so much time concentrating on what to get my kids that I totally forgot there are other people in my life I need to shop for. I’m sure there’s lots of you in the same boat, so I put together a little gift guide for you.

Flavors: Hanukkah-Monday, December 19th
Happy Hanukkah!!!
Before we begin today’s Tumblr, I issue an important reminder that I am not Jewish, but I love latkes. And since I’m Italian-Catholic, this means I have to live with an agonizing lack of latkes in my world. Therefore, I will gladly take all charitable donations of latkes, so if you have any lying around feel free to bring them to me in Union Square. Booth C34...

There’s a lot of stuff to go over right now, so forgive me if I don’t get into the jokes or small talk or have any sort of command of the English language. Thems got orders in the whonow to properfy!
Hannukah: We are not taking any sort of online orders for Hannukah, since we have never received a single request to make a Hannukah delivery, and thanks to my limited technological...

I know the Tumblr is crazy late today. Last night I came home, collapsed into bed and just watched the lights on my Christmas tree. Atticus was up, too. He said he stayed up in his bed til I got home because he loves me and he misses me. Of course, after he says this I start crying. Then he starts petting my head and saying “It’s ok Mommy! Don’t cry- I’m right here!...

Dear Santa:
How have you been? Did you have a nice summer? How is your wife? I have been extra good this year, so here is the long list of presents I want this year. Please note the size and color of each item, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money. How about tens and twenties?
1. Tickets to “Sleep No More”....

When I got home at 10:30 tonight all amped up to dive into a big pile of paperwork, I found Atticus (the four year old) not only up, but completely wired. I took TWO HOURS to get him down. Mind you, there was no sleeping late today, no naps- just pure adrenaline. Now it’s 2am, I’m ridiculously behind on my normal crap, and I need to be up at 7am tomorrow. Living the dream!

First off………..

Today we’re supposed to be debuting our “Gingerbread Man” cupcake, but we hit a bit of a snag……the gingerbread men never came. Now normally, we produce nearly 97% of the extras we use right here in the Robicelli’s kitchen- we make fresh fruit compotes, make our own cookies for toppings and crumbs, our own malted milk balls and candies and sauces and, well,...

Today we introduce the Hot Toddy cupcake, which I’m sure will be controversial since I put a call out for your best Toddy recipes on Facebook & Twitter about six weeks ago, and got about 100 different recipes. Some use whiskey, some use rum, some use both, some use cider, some use lemon, some use rocks. But they all have one thing in common- each person believes their recipes is the...

We’ve been at the Union Square Holiday Market for two weeks now, and I’m still getting lots of tweets from people who claim they’re there but can’t seem to find us. Apparently the map I made isn’t good enough for you guys!
How can anything of that caliber of quality be confusing?! Trader Joe’s, Upside Down Elephant, US! We even finally got a sign and a...
