Roquefort Day

Finally the land of the free has lifted the de facto embargo (300% import tax) on Roquefort! To celebrate the ocassion, I direct thee to this Herbed Mashed Potatoes with Roquefort recipe from the NY Times. Happy Roquefort Day!

Confession time

I cannot stand the acronym/buzzword/stupid-ass pseudoword “EVOO.” There, I said it.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

What the hell is up with all the pro-Carla people lately? Seriously? I mean, seriously? I get it, she’s cooky and probably entertaining to some (I have to keep reminding myself that hurling a book at my LCD TV would make me want to hang myself every time she goes on about how she “puts [...]

Are you ready for Super Sunday?

You probably think you are, but let me tell you something: You are not.

Finish all your vegetables… and don’t forget about the dirt!

I had my lovely family over last week, and I made dinner for them once (Hey, there were lots of awesome restaurants to sample from!). And I bought this most decadent cheese I’ve had before. Unsurprisingly, they loved it. Brillat Savarin, the cheese, was named after Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a man who loved food and [...]

Somebody stop me!

One of the health concerns for veggies (comme moi) is getting enough protein in your diet (and btw, most people nowdays eat more protein than they need). Luckily for me, I’ve been eating protein-rich chickpeas lately. A LOT. I cannot stop eating delicious Chickpea Salad (mock Tuna/Chicken Salad style). It is delicious. Too delicious. And [...]
