Oh, Chinatown.

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Just when I thought you had shown me everything — from the most delightful dumplings ever to old men horking up unnameable globs onto the sidewalks — I though I had become inured to your myriad charms.
And then, I found something and fell in love all over again.

Thai Pocky.

My ham will devour your soul!

Friday, March 28th, 2008

As I was uploading photos this week, I found a picture of my dynamite Easter ham.
Y’see, it was still in the oven, and I had a hard time getting a good photo with the flash off, but with the flash on… well, you should be sure all small children are out of the room […]

Don’t fear the yeaster.

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I am constantly surprised by how many food bloggers are afraid to try yeast baking.
“Just try it!” I urge. “Yeast breads are so forgiving! Just try it! Trust me!”
I guess I’m going to have to just show you.

It must be spring.

Old Man Winter’s almost dead.

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

So far, more than half of you responded to this month’s poll saying this winter was worse than last year.
I know here in NYC, this past winter was just so… gray. An all the color had been drained out of the world kind of gray. I think the fact that there was no snow […]

Internet = full of fail

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I just spent far too much time looking for a clip from “Annie Hall” in which they all eat Easter dinner together. All I can find is the screenplay, which I’ll get to in a minute. Woody Allen proclaims that Grammy Hall has made a “dynamite ham” — and I think of that every […]

Make Your Life Gezellig with… science

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I was cleaning out a cabinet when I found a folder full of random magazine pages. Most of the pages were apartment decoration ideas when I was going through a phase where I thought I’d actually ever do anything like that.
Anyway, one of the pages had photos of stuff like this:

You’ll have to envision […]

Feature idea:

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I’ve been collecting a number of odd foods to start a feature called something like I eat it so you don’t have to.
Should these posts be:

b.) audio with photos?
c.) video?

Let’s all go to the lobby!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Tonight (presuming there are no small-child meltdowns over darkness and/or loud noises) my kid is going to see her first movie in the theater:

And, of course, we will buy about $14 of very bad, greasy, salty popcorn.
What do you buy at the concession stand? More importantly, what do you wish you could buy […]

Why I Am A Bad Food Blogger: Part II

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

I have kept a draft titled Taste of Chinatown: Spring 2007 since, well, spring 2007.
Doesn’t seem especially blog-worthy now, does it?
Here’s the draft’s one highlight:

Tasty Dumpling. Five completely perfect dumplings for one whole dollar.

And that is why I live in the best city on earth.
