Brave New Food
« Previous EntriesAn old foe, vanquished.
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008About six years ago, I had just moved into in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood and before I’d even unpacked all the our boxes, I signed up for Urban Organic’s home delivery service.
The first week’s delivery sat at the wrong door of the brownstone in 93° heat all afternoon. I called and gave them […]
Genius.
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I am generally pretty anti-frozen foods, because it uses all that energy to freeze it and ship it frozen and keep it frozen in the grocery store.
I’m usually anti-individual packaging, because it’s just so much waste to be thrown out.
Yet, I still think this is so brilliant:
And if it makes people say I think I […]
Why haven’t I been posting about food recently?
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I can sum up the reason in two words:
Wii. Fit.
Here’s a little film1 of how it works, if you’re out of the video-game-peripherals loop.
Upon buying the Wii Fit, which is basically an oversized scale with a bunch of really fun games, we learned a.) my kid was solidly in the underweight category, which I […]
Brave New Food: Bubu Lubu
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008“I Eat It So You Don’t Have To” was too long, so until I think up something better, I’m calling this segment “Brave New Food” which I’m not 100% happy with either, but at least it’s shorter.
Here’s the first item in this new series:
Right on! Mysterious Mexican candy bar!
Say, what’s in it?

Oh, Chinatown.
Monday, March 31st, 2008Just 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.

Don’t fear the yeaster.
Thursday, March 27th, 2008I 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.

There better be a front-runner for the nominee soon…
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Because at this rate, I may forget how to cook.
First, my mother-in-law was here.

My Anglophilia returns, sort of.
Monday, January 28th, 2008I really enjoy BBC Radio 4, and, more specifically, I love The Archers. In brief, it’s a twelve-and-half minute audio soap opera that’s been on for, I think, forever. Or since 1951, which is pretty much the same thing.
Anyway, a character recently said something I’ve been thinking about ever since:
“Could you pass the lime marmalade?”

Belgian… spaghetti.
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008Yeah, not waffles, not chocolate. Belgian Spaghetti — Student Style, specifically.
I adapted the recipe just slightly from Everyone Eats Well In Belgium. I got the recipe from FreshDirect’s collection, and let me tell you, if all recipes are as good as this one was, I’m going to have to buy the book.1
Oof! Maybe not […]
The aforementioned best cookies.
Friday, December 28th, 2007I’m not generally a chocolate chip cookie lover. I’m just not. They’re either too thin, too crispy, too doughy, too something and never in a good way.
But it was Christmas and we heard Santa only really likes chocolate chip cookies, so I went looking for a recipe.
Now, I love AllRecipes. Love it. It’s the […]
