Nibbles
– First a purge then we’ll binge. I just watched “Celebrity Duets” and seeing and hearing Xena The Warrior Princess sing a duet with Michael Bolton for judges Marie Osmond and Little Richard makes me want to purge. (Though I did enjoy it when Hal Sparks, who sang a duet with Gladys Knight, rebuffed Marie…

Fame, I Wanna Live Forever…in the USA Today
Thanks to site reader Lauren H. for sending along this link to USA Today’s food blog article. Congrats to all the other food blogs listed and for the record I was never an attorney, I just played one on TV.

Tapas
Diana came over last night and helped me make a mini tapas dinner out of some Farmer’s Market finds, including Pimientos De Padron which Calvin Trillin writes about in his most recent book, “Feeding A Yen.” Neither of us were prepared for how spicy they were. I ate a few and thought they were fine…

MFK Fisher’s “The Gastronomical Me”
On my night table sat two new books, purchased–somewhat irresponsibly–in hardcover: “Heat” and “The Omnivore’s Dilemma.” My rule about hardcover is this: only buy something in hardcover if you’re going to read it right away. Well I read the first few chapters of “Heat,” thoroughly enjoyed them but felt that because it was based on…

Give A Howl For The Little Owl
It made no sense to wind up at The Little Owl after attending the Mostly Mozart festival at Lincoln Center, but somehow we did. Diana’s youngest brother Brian was in town and we thought it would be fun to get rocked by Amadeus at Avery Fisher Hall. Our plan was to see the concert and…

A Say, Say, Savory Onion, Cheese and Bacon Tart
If it’s fair to mock Diane Keaton for ordering pastrami on white bread with mayo in “Annie Hall,” then it’s fair to mock me for not knowing much about savory tarts and quiche-like items. In my Jewish upbringing both in New York and Boca Raton, Florida I never encountered a savory tart or a quiche.…
