  • Lisa and Olives: Round Three

    |

    I would now like to take the opportunity to reply to Lisa G’s devastating round two victory in the Great Olive Campaign.

  • A Mediocre Tropical Smoothie from The Barefoot Contessa

    |

    I have a love/hate relationship with The Barefoot Contessa.On the one hand, her recipes are wonderful. Of all my cookbooks, hers produce the best and most consistent results: a terrific roast chicken, a great recipe called Pasta, Pesto, Peas that is as heavy on the flavor as it is the alliteration. Her desserts are buttery…

    Thanks to my dear friend Josh, you can now download the Burrito song as an mp3. Thus you now have three entirely separate, entirely wonderful “Burrito Song” options. You may want to download all three and play them simultaneously. Just a suggestion.Download file
