Bungalow Revival

For REALTOR, the magazine for the National Association of Realtors, I wrote about my favorite housing style -- bungalows -- and how they are making a comeback.

need travel tips for Pittsburgh?

Then look no further than the city's residents! For the July 15, 2009, issue of American Way (the inflight magazine for American Airlines), I talked with some of Pittsburgh's movers and shakers about the best places to hang out.

organic baking: mmmmm!

For today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel I chatted with Sarah Magid, a custom-cake decorator and baker in Brooklyn, N.Y., who is a fan of using organic ingredients. Her new book, Organic and Chic: Cakes, Cookies, and other Sweets that Taste as Good as they Look, tells you just how to make them!

touring Milwaukee's beers

Milwaukee is considered the "city of beer" for its many microbreweries -- all of which produce beer of excellent quality. For Wine Enthusiast's web site, and to coincide with this year's Summerfest (the world's longest-running and largest music festival), I wrote about how to taste your way through the city's breweries. http://www.winemag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=48AEE06B2A1E469783008B2C2FDF6227
