Thursday Night Smackdown: The second-best way to blog
As previously established, the best way to food blog is to write about food and how you might have prepared it without actually producing any food. The second best way, as it turns out, is to have your husband do the actual cooking while you sit on the couch with your new MacBook Pro – ...
Cheap Ass Monday: Trois Varietes de Nourriture Surplus
Sometimes I’m amazed at the brain’s ability to retain information. Like this: the last time I studied or spoke any French was my sophomore year of college. That was roughly 12 years ago.* Yet I only had to look up 3 of the 5 words in the post title, and I’m almost 70% sure it ...
Waterloo du patisserie, le premiere part.
It’s so nice to officially be on vacation, to be able to stay up late, sitting by the twinkly Christmas tree, taking the time to reflect on a day spent puttering in the kitchen with Christmas baking – I cozied up with the KitchenAid, sifted and whipped and piped, sang along to the best version ...

Can you really have a feature called “Cheap Ass Mondays” without featuring rice and beans at least 30% of the time? ...
Let’s appropriate others’ cultural heritages: Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Speaking of appropriating: currently on my TV is a commercial for the Mohegan Sun casino with a jingle sung to the tune of “My Sharona.” Clever, or harbinger of the end of culture? Cinco de Mayo: A day where office workers everywhere can gather at Mexican chain restaurants for happy hour and get smashed on ...
