Oh, the webbernet! It gets me all riled up with dire news and mainstream idiocy, then blammo! it hits me with something so awesome, it must be shared. Dear friends, welcome to this week’s colle...
Before we jump into the good news, admit it: You are totally jealous of my mad Photoshop skillz. I mean, look at that totally awesome low-rent graphic up there. You guys, it might be time for me to s...
Seriously, I thought my birthday was a week ago, then I looked at the calendar and realized it’s been two weeks. This is my life right now: time disappears. But stories about books and food are...
Sometimes, when I’m sitting in my office in the morning, ready to apply fingertips to keyboard, I wish that I could simply sit down with you instead. We’d have a nice hot cuppa joe (decaf...
I have a thing about my teeth. I had braces when I was 12, and since then, I’ve been a little distracted by keeping my chompers as white as possible and free of embarrassing bits of food stuck ...
One of my favorite word nerd activities is making up new words. Where would we all be without frexcitement, fouscous, opkeptical, and now: jicamadas. What the devil is an jicamada? A tostada made of ...

The volume of the buzz about the dangers of sitting has been gradually increasing over the last few years. Now, it’s less like a gnat and more like a giant cicada for me, especially as I start ...
There is no doubt about it: Robb Wolf is the man. He’s fit, funny, and damn smart about why we should be eating paleo. Now he’s published an ebook (that’s so much more than an ebook...
Well done, friends! When Dave and I cooked up the idea of Well Fed, we decided that we wanted to donate $1 for every PDF sold to an organization that teaches kids about healthy food. As usual, when I...
Let’s get (word)nerdy up in here! I love the Guardian’s collection of the 10 best first lines in fiction — and not just because Jane Eyre shows up in the #3 spot. The write-ups that accom...
I’m not going to sugarcoat, friends: I’ve had a terrible two days. Or, more accurately, life has been normal, and I’ve been unable to effectively manage my perspective enough to sto...
As much as I enjoy playing in the kitchen, I like to balance “project recipes” (I’m looking at you, Paleo Chicken Bastila.) and dead-simple dishes that require almost no work with a...
