  • Canada Wendy’s Pieplant (Rhubarb) Pie

    And now for the luscious Wendy with a glorious recipe from Canada. The recipe involves mutants, half-dressed boyfriends and alliteration. What more could you ask for?Today was a lovely/sweaty/muggy/energy sucking day in Toronto. So I did what any person in their right mind would do in these conditions…pre-heated my oven to 400F to make a…

  • Christine’s New Zealand Autumn Sauce

    Wow, did you know that in New Zealand it’s Autumn? That’s whacky. The following post, by Christine, is great but I have one question: what’s a capsicum? It sounds like an animal (“put it over a flame until the skin blackens evenly”) and since this is New Zealand I’m beginning to worry it’s an Orc!…

  • The Fridges of our Lives

  • Frustration in the Face of Incredible Kindness

    I received so many great reader submissions today–three fridges, a pie and a sauce—and I’m DYING to post them but my stupid computer is irritating the Inferno out of me! It has decided that I am not allowed to upload pictures anywhere. One might think that: “Oh, Adam, it’s an issue of space” but it’s…

  • Shari Got Her Prize

    For those who remember the contest I threw a few weeks ago, it was won by Shari and her glorious hamsters. Her prize was Diane Kennedy’s “My Mexico” and I am glad to hear that today she and the hamsters received it. Hope you enjoy, Shari! (And Mazrim, pictured below…)

  • Help The Amateur Gourmet

    Friends, I thought I could pull it off but my balance is on the wane. Yes, my bar-study is suffering and now I need to cut back a bit from this site. I’d really like to avoid going on a “hiatus,” so I developed a little plan. The plan is pretty simple. Are you ready?…

  • Wonderful, This Class Is Full

    Thank you for participating in “Class Attendance, Take 2.” If you’re coming late to class, you may need to see the registrar and sign up for an alternative class like journalism with Professor Drudge at The Drudge Report. Ha! Journalism at the Drudge Report. As if!If I had the time I would compile all the…

  • Class Attendance, Take Two

    Back in March I took class attendance to get an idea of who was reading the site. Now that we’ve had a media blitz (that’s a fun thing to say: media blitz), I’d love for conspicuously quiet regular site readers to come out of the woodwork. New ones too. So, if you don’t mind, can…
