Dirty Sugar Cookies and Vegetarian Dim Sum
When Ayun Halliday asked me to participate in her Dirty Sugar Cookies virtual book tour, I began to question how best to host someone virtually. Would I build a virtual platform and invite a virtual audience? Would there be a virtual punch bowl and virtual karaoke? No, this didn’t seem right. So I turned the…

The Mother’s Day Meal We Cooked Last Week
We are now entering the phase of this website known as “the phase in which Adam juggles writing his blog and writing his book.” I have decided that when it comes down to choosing the best place to share new material–the blog or the book–the best choice is the book because the book is more…

Lisa and Olives: Round Two
A Message From Lisa G:”Adam – i find it highly offensive that at no point in your attack of the great and all-powerful lisa g did you mention that i was temporarily unable to connect to the internet and that the lack of olive-talk was explained to you in full. Furthermore, i find your spelling of Cincinnati…

Lisa and Olives: Round One
My friend Lisa G. of Cincinnatti, Ohio currently resides in Manhattan, NY and enjoys a diet of vegetarian hot dogs, couscous and little chocolate penguins that I bought her for her birthday. Disturbingly absent from her diet is, to quote Thomas Edison, “the richest gift of heaven”; the sacred staple of Mediterranean cuisine and Martini…
