  • Winter Banner 2013

    |

    Hey, Thanksgiving’s over…which means it’s time to shed the autumnal theme and to face winter head-on. Thanks to Lindy Groening for another brilliant banner and to Raphael Brion for finally teaching me how to upload the image myself. To see an archive of all our previous banners, click here.

  • Eat Pie, Say Hi

    |

    Hey New York, guess what? On December 5th at 7 PM, I’m hosting an event at The Strand bookstore with Emily and Melissa Elsen for the launch of their new cookbook The Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book. Click here to buy tickets (only $15 or a copy of the book); rumor has it, there’ll…

  • It’s Autumn After All

    |

    At least my new banner thinks so! After my last post where I made a summery dish in October, it’s time for a seasonal intervention and what better way to do that than with an autumnal banner image by the brilliant Lindy Groening. It’s been a while since we rotated the banner–over a year, in…

  • Your Perth and Sydney Recs

    |

    [image via Wexas Travel] You guys: I just had a moment where I glanced at my calendar and saw that two weeks from tomorrow, I’m flying to Australia. I mentioned this to you before but the trip seemed so far away when I wrote that; and now the trip is right there on the horizon…

    While Craig was gone these past nine days, I found myself watching a lot of True Blood on HBO Go. I’m still finishing up Season One, so no spoilers please, but I found myself quite choked up at a moment that was a subtle one, as far as the series goes. Sookie, the protagonist, is…

  • Beating Jet Lag

    |

    Here’s some great advice on Kottke.org about beating jet lag by changing your diet. This will come in handy in five weeks when I make the 19 hour journey to Perth!

  • Let’s Talk Breaking Bad While Looking At Pictures of Food From The Oinkster

    |

    What you are looking at is a pastrami sandwich from The Oinkster in Eagle Rock. I’ve been meaning to blog about it for a while. I started a post about it on Friday, but kind of lost my motivation; then, this morning, I started to write one again but found myself reading Breaking Bad recaps…

  • November Down Under

    |

    It’s time to spill the Marmite: in November, I’m headed Down Under to Perth, Australia to be a featured speaker at the Eat, Drink, Blog conference. Then, for three nights, I’m skipping over to Sydney (I just booked my hotel) because I figured I should see it before heading back across the ocean. Am I…

    |

I realized, though, in having this…
