Yay! Thanks readers of Creative Loafing for voting me Best Local Blogger! I love living in Atlanta and plan to live up to my title![Psst…nobody mention the whole I don’t live in Atlanta anymore I live in New York now thing, ok? That’s our little secret.]

Like angry bowling pins that refuse to topple they remain: Dallas, Harry, Andrea, Michelle and Nick. Who will be the next to fall? On to our next challenge…I like to call this challenge: “Missionary Veal.” (Get it? Like missionary zeal?) Anyway, here’s what you gotta do. Introduce us to someone you know who hates a…

Aww this one makes me sad. I’ll miss our friendly neighbor in the north… Farewell, Wendy! You’re my favorite Canook. (Next to Martin Short, that is.)Wendy –> Michelle (“If she goes, she’ll be missed…”)Dallas –> Michelle (“Roses are red/ violets are blue/ yams are veggies/ but tomatoes are fruit. You’ve been a tough competitor.”)Michelle –>…

Political intrigue and international espionage taint this round of Gourmet Survivor. For the specifics, read the comments to the last post. After much reflection I have decided to have the operation. You will now refer to me as Cindy.Harry and Dallas have immunity this round. I feel this is fair because Clotilde’s logic for choosing…

Murray’s Cheese Shop is awesome. There was a huge article about it in the Food Issue of The New Yorker a few weeks ago and I think it’s safe to say that Murray’s is one of our nation’s greatest purveyors of cheese.Of course, it’s rare to be walking through Greenwich Village on a hot day…

I hate this article that just came out in the LA Tmes about food blogs. Granted, I probably hate it because it doesn’t mention me, but that aside I hate what it says about food blogs and how limited they are. First of all, though I should put my anger on pause and congratulate my…

Last Sunday I noticed that there was half a bag of Ghiardelli bittersweet chocolate chips leftover from my mega-intense BC brownies and feeling a bit fried by my mega-workload decided to make the recipe for chocolate chip cookies on the side of the bag. I’d reproduce the recipe here, but that’s pretty unnecessary. Just go…

Yom Kippur is fast approaching (begins tomorrow night at sundown) and by fast approaching I mean Jews gots-ta be fasting. Saw a play tonight called “Last Easter” and there was a joke in it that I’d like to share with you now on that very topic.You see Ghandi, before he died, never wore shoes and…
