Dear Gwenny,
You really do make it too easy to pick on you. You can’t help the fact that you are genetically blessed, so I won’t hate you because you’re beautiful. I also won’t hate on you for your career success (truth be told, I really enjoyed you in View From The Top and I was [...]

A good amount of the disk space on our Tivo gets taken up with cooking shows. Food Network, PBS, I like to mix it all up. When I watch them, I frequently experience kitchen envy. Seriously, have you seen Paula Deen’s or Ina Garten’s kitchen? Dreamy. Multiple cooktops, deep fryers, and refrigerator drawers. Best of [...]
Weird Science

Remember how you were always told in school that math and science were important in life? Me, I didn’t believe it for one second. I think my response was something along the lines of “yeah, whatever”. But if I could, I would go back and tell my adolescent self to sit up and pay attention [...]

Problem Solved

It didn’t take too long for me to turn to Google in search of ways to use those kumquats. Most of what I found were sweet dishes. There were a few pickled/preserved applications that looked interesting, but I wanted something that would give me instant gratification. So when I clicked on over to Epicurious, I [...]

Spend enough time doing anything and eventually you find what works for you. From the way you manage your finances to how you cook a pork chop. For as long as I can remember, I only ever knew two kinds of chops. They were either tough and dry or gummy.
More Cowbell

I love the Saturday Night Live skit with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken about the rock band and the cowbell.
The point is that while what the band was doing was good, it would have been even better with more cowbell. Do you ever have days like that? Days where you’re in a groove, doing your [...]
Real Simple

I love the idea of leading a simple life. I just wish I could figure out how to go about doing that. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Sure, there is an entire industry of lifestyle guides and magazines that want you to think that if you buy their products then [...]
Rushed
Posted in Cooking, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, South Beach Friendly Recipe, tagged Bon Appetit, Broiled Shrimp on 27 May 2009 | 5 Comments »
Despite my best efforts to the contrary, there are just days when time is not on my side. I’ve got too much to do and not enough time to get it done. Or cosmic forces conspire against me and suck huge chunks of time out of my grasping hands, never to be seen again. A [...]
Semi Homemade
Posted in Cooking, Food, Main Course, Recipe, tagged Cooks Illustrated, Meat Sauce, Semi Homemade on 20 May 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t understand people’s obsession with homemade tomato sauce. Never have. When I make sauce from scratch, I end up feeling that my time has been wasted and I should have just opened a jar instead. Especially meat sauce. For years, and I do mean many years, I convinced myself that I could not make [...]
