Pardon me, but I vent for a minute or two.
I should have known better, really. Dining while vegetarian is enough of a challenge, even now when most restaurants have two or three vegetarian items on the menu. But dieting while vegetarian and on a diet can sometimes push the limit. Particularly when you add […]
Earlier this week, while surfing around on Linkfilter, I came across a site claiming to to reveal “The Myths of Vegetarianism,” I filed it away to read later. I though it might be worth posting, if i could find a context for it.
As we shall see, many of the vegetarian claims cannot be substantiated and […]
Not an actual homo, but a homo sausage. Wait. That still doesn’t sound right. When I saw this I just knew I had to do it for a lunchtime post.
Lost in translation, or intentionally provocative? There’s got to be a good story behind the name “Homo Sausage.” If you’re wondering, like I did, if […]
Years ago, I learned something about messaging: if you want someone to remember something, you have to repeat it about eight times. (Especially if that person is me.) To that end, I’m following through on John’s suggestion folks to keep quoting these sentences from today’s AP story on Rove/Plame.
For the better part of two years, […]
The more I learn about the Bush administration, the more embarrassed I am to be an American. Imagine, for a moment, having a classically trained, french chef at your disposal, to make anything that you wanted. What might you ask him or her to make? I’m willing to bet that roasted turkey brined in Coca-Cola […]
JW asked: “Post your favorite recipe using squash.”
Well, I’m not sure if this was a serious request or not, but I actually do have a favorite recipe using squash. At least, it’s my favorite that I’ve made. My mom, a typical southern cook, makes a mean squash casserole with summer squach, but I don’t have […]
A while back I asked:
If a sandwich were to be named after you, and could be made of anything you wanted, what would it be made of?
And I described mine:
Mine would be made of: sliced portobello mushrooms, marinated in herbs and balsalmic vinegar; black olive tapenade; sun-dried tomato pesto; fresh basil; and smoked mozzeralla cheese. […]
The response to the “Make Me A Sandwich” post has been so intersting that I think I’m going to borrow a page from the Amatuer Gourmet. Cooking is one of my hobbies, but I’ve never really blogged abot it. So, in my time off this Friday, I think I’m going to actually make the sandwich […]
I have not written a thing about the current cicada craze taking place here in D.C. These insects basically burrow into the ground, come out every 13 to 17 years, mate, and then die. Their offspring go back underground and bid their time before starting the whole cycle over again. People in D.C. have […]
We made brunch this morning for our houseguests and another friend visiting from out of town. My contribution has usually been french toast. But earlier this week we were watching the Food Network and saw a recipe on “Paula’s Home Cooking” that sounded even better: Baked French Toast Casserole with Maple Syrup.
What made it better […]
I don’t know that I’ve mentioned this before, but cooking is one my big hobbies; particularly baking. Desserts are a specialty of mine. I don’t get to do it as often as I’d like to lately, between work, parenting, and everything else. It’s even rarer that I get to combine my love of cooking and […]
Todays e-newsletter from Compassion Over Killing contains links to two editorials on Mad Cow Disease that are particularly informative in terms of how the disease is spread through factory farming and in slaughterhouses, as well as what our government is not doing about it.
