i want to thank those that have been loyal devotees of taylorshocks and i also encourage people who want some frank insights on pretty much all things: food, pop culture, relationships, traveling and hotels to read through my blog — search in the tool bar things that interest you and i guarantee over the course of my blog career, i’ve bitched and ranted about it at one point or another.
please email me directly with any blog ideas or inquiries and or professional opportunities that you may see fit – i’m looking forward to it

Dearest Suzy Lu,
I’m new to all of this, so indulge me.
But when I clicked onto Craft and saw your
Sarah Jessica/Hamptons reference I chortled
aloud! Remember when you dropped a line
to one of the Spielberg kids from Camp Karol
and said something like “I saw you on page 145
of…” it was adorable.
And as for all this …whatever…to the right of
the blog page, I can still see in my mind’s eye
a crayon sheet you composed that listed some
of your favorite topics…went something like:
Peanut Butter The Hamptons Tanning
As your mom may’ve mentioned, we’ve had the
chance to get back in touch. Am delighted.
She sent me a snapshot of you and your brother
and parents, and until I zoomed in I mistakenly
thought that the younger female in the picture
was your brother’s Prom date. Don’t freak out…
I brought it into better focus and am stunned
(but not surprised) to see that you’ve become
the knockout I always knew you were.
And a CULINARY person, to boot!
I don’t mean to drag you through the foggy mist
of memories, but I can recall a time when you
observed me slicing/dicing and messing up the
kitchen floor on Princeton Lane and exclaimed
“Uncle Mick, how can you do all this? It takes so
much time!”…and here you are, barely a few years
later on your way to becoming the new Ruth Reichl
of the Cambridge/Boston circuit.
I’d enjoy nothing more than breaking bread with you
at some point in the not too distant future.
My loving best,
Michael
You are my hero. I’m obsessed with this website, it’s disgusting. Keep up the good work and the witty writing. Mama’s proud.
I love your website. Keep it up.
Hi Taylor, I guess we got invited to the same Botox party on FB, haha!
I saw you had a blog too! I just got started on mine. I started reading yours! Well done indeed! My boyfriend is a serious foodie and we will want to try one of your suggestions next time we are in NYC.
Hope all is well!

Oh! The goat cheese tart at Marseilles on 44th and 9th Ave. is divine.
