Fishing in Bear Mountain and Other Things

May 17, 2012

  Last weekend was very exhausting for me. When I feel like that, I just want to be in peace and do sports. I would do anything to release some tension. Fishing is one them. I like to go to Bear Mountain. Yes, the name says it all. There are bears up there. I have never seen one myself, and…

Fresalina TV

January 3, 2012

Ever since I started working in television, I fell in love with the idea of directing and creating more than being in front of the camera. That is why I created Fresalina TV, to experiment with my creativity with the production process of editing the video and audio or each webisode {Web + Episode} or I secretly wanted to design/code…

Merry Christmas

  Merry Christmas to all of you. Let this be the season to be with the ones you love. Here is a picture from the past, 16 years ago to be exact at a Christmas play. I would never forget it. Love, Katherine Aucena

Ten Years Ago vs. Now

December 15, 2011

When I look back, I suddenly realize that it is true what people have been telling me: My face has not changed much throughout the years.   This photo was taken nearly ten years ago yet it looks to me like if it was yesterday.   This picture hangs in my hallway, so I do pass by it everyday. It…

Treat Yourself For Free On Your Birthday!

August 15, 2011

I have been wanting to share this post with you for quite some time, 30 days to be exact. I have been completely disconnected from the site because my graduation from The French Culinary Institute is days away. I am nervous, excited and happy at the same time. I need a post just to tell you how I feel and…

Two Horses and a Donkey

July 7, 2011

  Aren’t horses beautiful creatures? I spent most of my weekend at this farm. There is nothing better than getting away from the city and heading to a far, far away farm to enjoy the nature and what it has to offer.   This guy saw me and wanted to get closer.   Too close I would say. At least…

      I am so happy that I am working with a wonderful team at a TV show for an outstanding well-known chef. The show will premiere in the fall. More details soon. In the meantime, just because all of the above, I am going to give away a book full of…   This…   And This…   It…

Charm

March 28, 2011

  While I was at a mall trying to hunt down for my concealer, I happened to pass by the Hello Kitty Store and I couldn’t resist going in. Before I went in I said to myself: “I am not shopping, just looking”. But then I found this and by this I mean look above.   Isn’t this the cutest…

Rainy Day

March 6, 2011

  It’s been raining for the past 18 hours. The soils is so saturated that it is starting to get muddy. 80% of the snow is almost gone. It feels kind of warm. It is definitely not cold outside, but the water is cold. Ginger and Brownie broke the record for the least amount of time spent outside doing their…

Two In The Bush

October 31, 2010

        This was a unique weekend. Like never before. Weird but good things happened. This is one of them…   Over the weekend we had to take many trains to go everywhere. In one of those trains stations, New Jersey Side, we found a very tiny bird on the ground. It looked like he couldn’t fly. He…

Au Revoir Summer Part Deux

September 29, 2010

        Today, like any other day of this week, has been raining non-stop. Maybe that is why I felt the need to take so many shots of the garden, knowing that it would be like this: Rainy and grey! Summer is flying away, far, far, away, but she will return in about 10 months.   I couldn’t…

Au Revoir Summer Part Un

September 28, 2010

        Summer is officially over. Days go by and you need a sweater most of the time. I love summer because of the colorful flowers around me, the hot sticky weather, me wearing shorts and enjoying the tan my legs will get out of it. I must say this summer was hotter than last year and longer….

The First Time I Bought a KitchenAid Mixer

September 10, 2010

        The anniversary of my relationship with one of my best sous chefs in my kitchen is approaching soon, very soon. I can still remember the day I received it in the mail. I couldn’t wait. My armpits were wet. After a long time with a hand-non-electrical mixer I was finally getting it for myself. Nobody else….

Five Things I Can’t Live Without

June 26, 2010

It’s not that I cannot live without them, instead they follow me everywhere, or at least that’s what I tell myself to cover it. Fair enough. First: My Homemade Pillow This is more of a tradition. Since they day I was born I had pillows and blankets handmade by my mom. I blame her for this one. Until this day…
