08.27.09Thursday Night Smackdown: I was hoping for a little more redemptionLast week's Smackdown - AKA The Aspic Incident - was a creamy horror. Whenever a Smackdown is a true culinary Ishtar, it's time for reparations the next week. What to better counteract a creamy horror than a creamy bowl of risotto love? Continue Reading...

06.08.09Cheap Ass Monday: Belated RoundupExciting news, everyone: I ate a bowl of Rice Krispies tonight! Of course, it wasn't all that long ago, so there might still be gastro-intestinal repercussions. It goes without saying that I'm not cooking tonight. Unless you count opening bottles of Gatorade as cooking, in which case I've been cooking up a storm. (Also: Gatorade is VILE. How do they fool so many people into buying it? Do people really drink it, or is it used mainly as an industrial solvent?) Instead, I bring you the Hobo Monday roundup that I was meant to have brought you on Saturday morning except ...

06.01.09Cheap Ass Monday: In the style of OJ SimpsonThat is to say: I didn't do it, but if I had, here's how I would have. Is that too many commas? I've been debating for 45 minutes, and I'm actually starting to get a little dizzy. Continue Reading... No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

05.11.09Cheap Ass Monday: Deja vu is tastyOkay, yes, I've made pancakes for dinner before. On a Monday night, even. But these are DIFFERENT pancakes. So there. To be more specific: buttermilk pancakes with pine nuts and citrus, topped with ricotta sweetened with candied pineapple and ginger, with a raspberry-orange coulis to cut the richness. Yeah, I know, it sounds kinda like dessert. It tasted kinda like dessert too, and I am not complaining about that. Who complains about dessert for dinner? I mean, I'm certifiably insane and even I'm happy with dinner pancakes. Continue Reading... No related posts. Related posts ...

05.09.09May 2009 Cheap Ass Hobo Monday: The RoundupOkay, so turnout was pretty crappy, which you gotta expect when the organizer herself wusses out on the event. And then one person completely neglected the whole "theme" thing - is there something about my readership that renders you congenitally unable to read rules? - meaning a full 20% actually weren't participating at all. So the maddest of props to the five of you who churned out some cheap-ass food, with slightly diminished props to the person who didn't follow the rules I mean, I let that one in, but with the full awareness that we're totally going to talk ...

04.30.09I’m not dead yet….I think I’ll go for a walk now.1. Hell's Kitchen tonight. You should watch it. Because I watch it, and I write things, and I suffer, and no one likes to suffer alone. 2. Hobo Monday remains on in the style of Donkey Kong. It's next week. Get you chickpeas ready. Related posts:Not a Supermom Okay, fine, so technically I’m not ANY kind of mom....

04.11.09April Hobo Monday: The RoundupHEY YOU! If you didn't see yourself here right away and you sent your entry to firstthursday@, that's why. In the future please send everything to michelle@, as the guidelines state. As we see, dual addresses cause confusion and ft@ became a refuge for ebay and Nigerian scammers, so it's being shut down. (Plus, this isn't a FT event anyway). Sorry for any confusion. Moving on. My poblano empanadas were obviously the best of this month's entries, but I guess the rest of you did a decent job and only 2 people flouted the rules, which I think is a ...
