For this week’s Bit by a Fox Podcast, we dive into Mezcal, the wild and smoky and often misunderstood cousin of tequila. I spoke with Cecilia Rios Murrieta, founder of Oaxacan brand, La Niña del Mezcal. Cecilia established one of the first blogs about Mezcal and the culture that surrounds it. She is a certified Mezcalier, and a proponent of preserving […]
Sunsets seem to get all the glory, with all their Instagram ‘likes’ and devoted hashtags and people gathering at piers and promenades to ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ and clap like dorks (I’ve totally done this, btw) when that fiery ball of light finally disappears on the horizon. But there’s something particularly magical about a sunrise – the birth […]

Cinco de Mayo is the best. I mean it’s basically a holiday that has been hijacked by margaritas and guacamole, and, with all due respect to Mexico’s victory in The Battle of Puebla, I think we’re all ok with that. Because…margaritas. I celebrated early this year because I got a little party pants care package […]
Just in time for the holidays, Patrón has released its first-ever 1-liter Patrón Silver tequila bottle. This limited edition, larger bottle is decorated with the iconic bee design made from pure pewter, and is topped with an elegant glass stopper. In the spirit of the Art of Patrón program, to help celebrate this launch, I created another DIY spin on this […]
I love this time of year: crisp, clear, sunshine-y days, the fiery yellow and gold leaves underfoot, and, because…HALLOWEEN(!), we can finally allow ourselves to indulge in obscene amounts of candy. Peanut butter cups have always been one of my all-time favorites. When you’re a kid and you hit a house with full size peanut […]
Remember all the way back to the middle of May when I put the call out to all the boozy crafters in the world for the Art of Patrón bottle art contest?! And then I made my own piece of “art”, and was pretty proud of myself… Just look at that little fox! (I’m clearly still pretty […]

If you live in the New York metropolitan area, including parts of New Jersey, Connecticut and Philadelphia, you know ALL about FreshDirect, an online grocer that delivers fresh and prepared food to your door. It’s pretty much a godsend for anyone entertaining, cooking for a group or planning an event, because no one, and I mean NO […]
You guys! I crafted! I may have had a few sips of Patrón while I transformed one of their bottles into a little, portly fox…but it didn’t turn out horribly! Ok, I know it’s not NEARLY as impressive as some of the other creations that have come out of the Art of Patrón contest in year’s past, but I’m pretty […]
