WatchNot able to get out of town this weekend? Make your own farm-fresh experience at home. Visit the farmer’s market and take the time to cook a real meal for friends. And maybe start an herb garden so next time you’ll have an array of natural spices handy.
I went back to the Outpost Inn to get Lenore’s tips on how to grow an herb garden…instead of kill one (which is what...

Delicious Dish - Oriental BBQ Chicken
This is one of my friends’ favorite dishes I prepare because the chicken is so tender, and the sauce so unique. You wouldn’t believe it, but a little of the sauce goes a long way.
Actually, I made this in Dallas and used the leftover pineapple salsa (that I made to top halibut the night before) over cold sauteed green beans (from Whole Foods).
Ingredients: 4 skinless boneless...

EAT YOUR WAY TO A BETTER PERIOD
—BY NUTRITIONISTA
Recently, reader Stephanie asked which foods she can incorporate into her diet while she’s on her period to help her beat the bloat and sluggishness that often accompany that time of the month. Eating during your period is tricky. I always crave carbs and sweets, but eating too much of those things while on my period never fails to make me feel worse. Rather than...

“Opinions should be the basis for discussion, not criticism.”

I have no issue with people writing their disagreements with my perspectives. But vindictive comments contaminate the content of MTM, and generate useless negativity.
I’m not telling you what to do/buy/wear, I’m just sharing with you what I...

Getting Out Of Your Head
Today’s TMI reminded me it’s important to do things that allow me to truly get out of my head and let loose for a while.
I’ve been in a funk for the last two days, and it’s been pretty difficult to shake. Not even 30/60/90 worked!
In the TMI episode, I explain why I think I enjoyed the sock hop experience, aside from just learning the steps.
This weekend, try to find...
WatchDance The Day Away
I would have never guessed I would have so much fun at a Sock Hop class!
If you’re in Houston, check out the SSQQ Dance Studio’s class schedule. They have beginner and advanced classes, and often hold parties for you to show of your new moves. The people are so sweet and patient (with those of us who have trouble), so don’t be nervous if you have two left...

WatchDriving the SmartCar for a few days was so much fun!
As you saw, it gets some serious attention, but what is it like as a car? Watch the video and hear about my favorite feature as well as the single drawback I experienced.

"You get a lot more room, safety and mileage for...
I have received countless comments and emails all reccommending the Toyota Prius. Not particularly instead of another model or brand, simply out of pure adoration for their own cars.
Reader Amy has the best breakdown I’ve recieved:
Hey Mary, Just want to let you know (if you haven’t already figured it out), that the Toyota Prius is the best buy.
I have the 2nd edition (2005...

“Hi MR CIMP!”
– Andy. (He just got home from a day of shopping with friends.)
MR CIMP = Mary Rambin Cookies In My Purse.
There was a time when I always carried around my new favorite obsession cookie in my purse for a post-meal treat.
A few of my favorite quotes from him showing me his loot follow. He NEVER...
“No, it’s not supposed to be white, it’s “sidewalk.”
– Andy on his new James Perse v-neck t. He has 1,000,000,000 v-necks from JP and American Apparel.
“I must have sandpaper balls.”
– Andy on why he has to patch the crotch of all of his pants! Which also leads to frequent panty purchases.
“I skipped lunch at the Ivy so I could go back and flirt with him.”
– Andy has a new crush on the guy at Ralph Lauren. Hence the new hoodie, jeans, and henley.

WatchI think this is one of my favorite TMI’s in a while. It’s informative, funny, and genuine.
Just this morning I went to the 99cent store to pick up some vases and votives for a house-warming party I plan on throwing when I get back to LA. I’ve missed my little dinner parites so much!
And I think now in my old age, I have learned to relax and not be the stressed hostess who is...
