Here I am!

Monday, April 30th, 2007

So, I just managed to eat something that was not saltines and/or ginger ale for the first time in almost a week.1
I don’t know what I had — virus, bacteria, or other — but it kicked my ass up one side of the street and down the other. At least I was the only one […]

Good news/Bad news

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Good! Saturday’s Taste of Chinatown was as excellent as ever, and I have photos (although less than I took last time) to show for it. Meanwhile, you can read my post about Pinkberry (where we went after ToC Saturday) on Accidental Hedonist.
Bad! I’m not going to do the Eat Local Challenge — not this week, […]

Taste of Chinatown tomorrow!

Friday, April 20th, 2007

The tasting map is up! [PDF] It looks like there are slightly less places participating this time around — 48 this time, and I think last time it was 55.
If you want to meet up with the Gezellig-Gang, we’ll be at the information kiosk (the i in the top left corner of the tasting […]

If it’s not sloppy, is it just a “a joe?”

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Simplicity is the essence of the sloppy joe — meat + canned product + bun = done — and there’s something slightly pompous about a sloppy joe made from scratch.
Still, when I saw a FreshDirect One-Click Recipe for Not-So-Sloppy Joes (and seeing as No matches were found for “manwich” on FreshDirect1 ), I decided […]

Taste of Chinatown 2.0!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

It’s back!
I don’t care if it is overrated/overcrowded/brings out the tourists in swarms — I freakin’ love Taste of Chinatown.
Here’s a series of posts about last fall’s Taste of Chinatown:
Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Who’s coming with me this year? I’m gonna have a stack of singles on me like an ugly bridesmaid at a […]

Eat Local: Test Run

Monday, April 16th, 2007

After spending six hours of my Saturday hearing how totally awesome (and spit-take expensive) The New School’s programs are, I ran a little reconnaissance mission through the Union Square Greenmarket, seeing as I was just a couple blocks away anyway. It being Saturday — the day when the most vendors are there — I figured […]

Broccolini, my new vegetable love

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I don’t even remember why I bought it. Maybe I was going to buy broccoli rabe, but it was more expensive, or FreshDirect just had it on sale last week. Either way, I recently bought two bunches of broccolini. Or Broccolini® as I’m sure Mann Packing, its distributor, would rather I refer to it.
It looks […]

ham hammity ham ham

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Evidently, I learned absolutely nothing from this year’s 10 pound Thanksgiving turkey — also known as Turkey ‘Til Your Eyes Bleed ‘06 — because I went and cooked a seven pound ham for Easter.
Seven pounds. For two adults and a four year old. Even assuming there’s a pound’s worth of bone, fat, and other […]

Eat Local? Uh…

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

I’m starting to get a little uneasy about the the Pennywise Eat Local Challenge.
For starters, look at the Harvest Calendar for the Greenmarkets. Go ahead, put your finger on April and trace it all the way down.
Root vegetables and apples.
And maybe mesclun.1 Great.
So, I did some looking around on the Eat Local […]

Don’t call it a comeback! I’ve been here for…

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Six months!
Six months today, in fact.
In honor of this half-anniversary, I’ve added a lot to gezellig-girl.com.
Specifically:

New site design! Let’s see how long it take for all of us to tire of seeing me chug chocolate syrup straight from the bottle.

Improved comments. You can now preview your comment before posting it as well as subscribe […]
