July 2008 First Thursday: Let’s get ready to rumble 02 Jul 08
I know you’ve all been diligently pouring over your cookbooks and magazines to find THAT PERFECT RECIPE, and now it’s time to let loose! Tomorrow is the first Thursday of the month, so whip up that meal and get your post on.
Complete instructions are here.
If you’re one of those folks who likes badge-y type things, this is for you. Now go! Go! Go!
Thursday Night Smackdown: Not it. 26 Jun 08
There’s been a loss in my family, so I regretfully must announce the cancellation of tonight’s smackdown. Go freeze yourselves up some beer to drown your sorrows.
ETA: Thanks for the good wishes, everyone, I really appreciate it.
ANNOUNCING: First Thursdays! 12 Jun 08
There comes a time in the life of many blogs when they reach the 5 month, 9 day mark. Today is that very special milestone for TNS, so I thought it only fitting to mark it with a grand announcement.
Start your engines and get ready to smack it on down: First Thursdays are upon us!
An Indulgence, a Farewell, and Some Udon 08 Apr 08
The Udon.
That’s some slightly sub-par takeout udon. I didn’t make it (if I had, it would be better). I don’t particularly feel like eating it either, because when I got home from my shitty day at work I ate a bag of cheese popcorn while I watched American Idol. And you know what? I feel better, although I’m not sure if it’s because of the popcorn or Jason Castro’s intoxicating, ukelele-accompanied version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” And if you want to judge my low-browitude, I respectfully suggest that you attend to the beam in your own fucking eye.
You may be wondering why I’m berating you in a post about takeout noodles. I would be too, if I were you.
Rock the Vote 02 Mar 08
Anyone who participates in the forums over at the Leftover Queen’s, head on over and vote for the March Foodie Joust. Gild the Voodoolily picked pork, citrus and pink peppercorns as this month’s ingredients, and my spice-crusted tenderloin with blood orange gastrique is in the running.
I’m not suggesting you have to vote for me, but it would be nice if, you know, you voted for me. So go vote. For me.
WELCOME TO THE NEW DIGS! 01 Mar 08
Let us rejoice with hummus and half-eaten falafel.
There’s still a little cosmetic work to be done, and I’m not totally sold on a theme yet, but welcome to thursday night smackdown’s new permanent home! And all completed with no casualties except for three missing comments: sorry Catherine, Jenny and Rattling the Kettle. Please come back!
The thursdaynightsmackdown.wordpress.com site will stay up but won’t be updated anymore, so be sure to point your bookmarks and feeds to www.thursdaynightsmackdown.com.
Also, to avoid confusion I’m officially changing the name of the site to thursday night smackdown, so adjust your blogrolls accordingly please (those elite few of you who have granted me that honor). Half of you were going with TNS and the other half with Us vs. Food, so now we’re all on the same page. Plus, now I can call it “TNS” for short and feel like a cool kid.
