Anne Nodar-Stesney is a writer and improviser living in New York City. For about 5 minutes in 1997, she was a dainty size 2. It was an insult to all deliciously edible things, especially butter. She wised up, starting eating and with the exception of a few cheeses, stopped buying anything emblazoned with the word lite. She adores good food, but also Cheetoes. She is married and has the Williams-Sonoma bounty to prove it. You can read more about her wedded culinary bliss at goodamericanwife.blogspot.com.
