It would be something of an understatement to say my cupcakes were a success. Im not a big braggart (ordinarily), but I have irrefutable evidence that my cupcakes were a hit - 3 previously cupc...
So, Ive been thinking of baking on and off for a couple of months. Obviously, the best time to do so is during the first May heat wave in years. Lets back-track, though.A few times recent...
Pardon me. Have you seen the movie "Crash"? Very much the way it starts by flashing around to seemingly unrelated stories, I am going to start with two apparently independent vign...
Bacon. Its kind of like The New Superfood except that itll kill you, not make you stronger. In addition to its high fat and cholesterol content, there is a carcinogen in bacon that is act...
I know, I know - how many posts can I really devote to brown rice?At least one more.I am just so pleased with myself at the moment. Tonight I made the Seitanic Jambalaya from Veganomicon&n...
Do you ever have those moments, normally in the midst of some utterly mundane activity, when all of a sudden you are completely at peace?I may be sending women back a few decades when I share this, b...
When I was a kid, there was a guy on TV that could probably be called a comedian. His name was Rodney Dangerfield and in a trademark act, he would make his eyes all big and bulgy and indignantl...
Im sure this will come as a surprise, but it hasnt actually warmed up since I last wrote - todays high didnt breach 30 degrees. I think tomorrow we might hit a balmy 38 as the high. Who c...
No matter how vigilant you are about your health, no matter how healthy you eat, no matter how many toxins you avoid, when you come into contact with 100+ people a day, you will get sick. Its u...
Well, its a new year so I get to start my HolyCowItsSoCold posts all over again with a brand new quotient of times to bitch about the weather. Keep in mind - I love Philadelphia, I love Philade...
Okay, so clearly (in Philadelphia, at least) we did not have a White Christmas. No, definitely not - it was gorgeous, though - around 50 degrees and sunny! Nevetheless, I felt like the ti...
Its a thing of beauty, isnt it?That, friends, is the All-Clad d5 Stainless Steel 4-qt Saute Pan after which I have been lusting for the better part of 18 months (at least). Ive had a longi...
So, despite last nights relative failure (not really, but it didnt live up to my hopeless perfectionism, so...) I strapped on my holiday-appropriate red-n-white striped apron again. I guess its...
I know youre not expecting this, but OMGMyHomeSmellsSoGood!Twas the week before Christmasand all through the house,not a creature was stirringcause Angst killed the mouseI suppose I could probably re...
If you look back over posts from Decembers Past, youll find I dont usually have time to enjoy The Most Wonderful Time of the Year due to working like a maniac. Since I find myself working a ret...
What is up with kids these days???Yes, Ive become one of those stodgy old geezers that says things like that. Hear me out, though - in the "olden days," stodgy old geezers were called b...
Yes.... I know I suck at posting recently. Im sorry. But youre tired of hearing me apologize for sporadic posting anyway, arent you?I could babble about why I havent been posting but it c...
Everyone have their Flashback Hats on? Okay, hold on tight - here we go!It was sometime in the autumn of a day in the mid-1990s. I was in college, sitting in my dorm room. It was la...
You would think I didnt know my way around a kitchen. Youd think Ive never cooked before... or measured anything... or stirred a pot. If you havent been following this blog for the last c...
I know other bloggers have gone far longer than a week without a post, but I am not normally among them so it feels like forever. I hope youll excuse my absence, considering how busy Ive b...
When I first started cooking from cookbooks, I was strict to the letter. As time went by, I found I had to tweak things a little, either because they contained onions (which make my breath sad)...
So, tonight was the Midtown Village Beaujolais Nouveau festival, honoring the third Thursday of November, when the Beaujolais Nouveau is introduced to the waiting (and aware) world. It involved...
Last Christmas [I gave you my heart - come on, sing along!], my sister(in-law) gave me a wonderful gift. Its a gift I get to enjoy every single day, and Im not talking about her brother. &...
I truly dont know how these things happen. I thought I was finally finished my food shopping when I walked out of Trader Joes this evening, only to get home and start making Granada Paella ...
I never realize how many e-magazines and other lifestyle websites have my email address until this time of year. This past week, Ive been bombarded with emails from Real Simple, Martha Stewart,...
Its a pretty safe bet that Mister and I eat olives almost every day. They are nearly always an accompaniment to our primarily Mediterranean dinners, so the only times I can think of that we don...
When I was a kid, my mother and I had a continual struggle over one particular breakfast cereal. My sister was frequently my accomplice and when we teamed up, we frequently won. We wanted...
Exactly two weeks ago was Misters and my 4th wedding anniversary. It was also one of the nights I worked until close (9pm) so we just ate leftovers and sniffed pretty roses and gave each other ...
So, last night Blogger was being mean (or it might possibly have been Comcast, who apparently felt like last night was a good time to mess up our whole connection) and I couldnt post pictures of dinn...
Sometimes I think Mister is just a little bit looney. Tonight was absolutely one of those nights. I made Pasta Con Broccoli from Appetite for Reduction because I knew it would m...
