Taking Flight with Aerial Silk Classes at Espana-Streb & The Muse
I started taking aerial silks classes earlier this year. Like many of us, I first realized that these things existed when Cirque du Soleil hit the American stage, sometime in the late 90s. I figured that these were all Eastern European and Asian wonderkind who had been training in this type of thing since they were born, and that this type of stuff was closed off to anyone over the age of 10.

What Would Butter’s Alex Guarnaschelli’s Last Meal on Earth Be?
I for one, am a huge fan of Alex Guarnaschelli in many different aspects. Her presence on The Food Network showcases her as a culinary badass with a heart of gold, especially on shows like “Chopped” and “The Next Iron Chef”, to which she won the latter years ago. She also has an amazing restaurant called “Butter”, which I had the utmost pleasure to review and had an amazing time at. Alex has let us in to her favorite recipes on shows like “Alex’s Day Off”, but one recipe she has yet to let us in on is what she would like her last meal on earth to be? The answer might surprise you. [Read more…] about What Would Butter’s Alex Guarnaschelli’s Last Meal on Earth Be?
