Carving a Turkey with Craig Feld


Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday.  I spend it with the people I love in my hometown and it’s always filled with love and laughter.  This Thanksgiving, my family friend, Craig showed me how to carve a turkey.  I went into this not knowing a single thing and now feel like I could take over the job next year.  But let’s be for real, I’ll probably go back to drinking, eating and gossiping while Craig carves the turkey with my dad assisting.  Thanks Craig for showing me your master carving skills!  I think the next stop for you is the Food Network:)

Watching Football with Andrew Teie

My friend Andrew taught me all about football on Sunday at a bar in the East Village.  Andrew and I work together at LivingSocial Adventures and he is an avid football fan.  This FWB was so fun to make and I’m confident that it will definitely benefit me in the future.  There is a lot of good info, so you’ll basically be an expert in football when you’re done watching this including how to maximize your experience at the bar.  Thanks Andrew for being so down to make this video!  Much appreciated;)

Flash Mob with Stephanie Carino

Flash Mob.  Probably one of my new favorite past times.  My very talented friend, Stephanie Carino, is a pro at choreographing and executing a perfect flash mob.  In this FWB, she teaches me and the rest of the ladies of LSA: NYC dance moves for our latest flash mob to surprise the guys at the ECAs.  And yes, I am a bit toasty in this video and the day long hangover was totally worth it.  Thanks Carino for introducing me to flash mobs as well as always bringing your positive energy.  I had the best time!  ps-The sweatband was the party favor for the evening and had to be worn.

BoardSnacks with Liz

Liz is on of my oldest and dearest friends.  She is basically the reason why I have lived in Brooklyn for the last two and a half years.  In this FWB, Liz teaches me how she makes her beloved BoardSnacks.  She has always been a whiz in the kitchen and knows how to put together such a good spread that I convinced her to start a blog to share her goodness with the world.  Check her out at BoardSnacks.com.  Thanks Lizzy for showing me your awesome skills and saying yes to being on FWB.  I really appreciate it and heart you big time!  xo

Making Grilled Cheese with Emily Stecher

My friend and former camper, Emily, teaches me how to make an insanely delicious grilled cheese.  Emily and I have known each other for 15 years (I was 14 and she was 10 when she started camp).  I love our relationship and it has been really special to watch someone grow up and then become equals.  She is such a smart and hilarious person and of course, makes a damn good grilled cheese!  Stech, thanks for being the little sister I never had.  xo

Flower Arranging with Rachel Mercier

Today my friend, Rachel, shows me how to arrange flowers.  I was really excited because Rachel is super creative and really knowledgeable.   I met Rachel when I first moved to NYC in 2008.  She was dating one of my really good friends from camp, Andy, and they have since married.  We instantly hit it off and I love hanging with her and of course, her pup, Frida!  Check Rachel out at RachelMercier.com to see more of her amazing work as well as her blog at mercierbeaucoup.com

We had a lot of fun filming as well as some technical difficulties as this was my second go at Friendships With Benefits.  Along with learning how to make an awesome arrangement, I also learned a lot of lessons for future Friendships With Benefits i.e.-make sure your phone has enough space to film, you can’t directly download videos off youtube and things cannot always be perfect.  Enjoy the video and going through the Friendships With Benefits process with me!  Thanks so much to Rachel for giving an awesome lesson and Andy for filming and dealing with our technical issues:)
