My First Time
« Previous EntriesIn which I make a bread pudding.
Monday, April 21st, 2008Despite being a food blogger for… how long now? A year and half? I have something to admit: I have never cooked another food blogger’s recipe. Ever. I don’t know why; I just haven’t.
So, when I saw this post on what to do with old bread, I thought, huh, that sounds pretty good, then filed […]
Meet the humble ham hock.
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Kinda gruesome, isn’t it?
A ham hock is the end of a smoked ham where the foot was attached to the hog’s leg. It is the portion of the leg that is neither part of the ham proper nor the foot or ankle, but rather the extreme shank end of the leg bone […]
Brining the Thanksgiving turkey.
Monday, November 12th, 2007Show of hands — who’s done this before?
On a scale of 1 to 10, what’s the Pain In The Ass factor for this?

Yatta!
Friday, February 23rd, 2007I did it! I cooked fish — my final food frontier! Here’s a somewhat crappy photo to prove it!
That is a piece of sesame-(semi)crusted tilapia. It was great; the fish was firm and flaky, and the sesame seeds took on a lovely toasty flavor.
The best part, though? The wasabi-ponzu sauce. Sweet sassy molassy — I’m […]
Why do so many nerd kids grow up to become Anglophiles?
Thursday, December 21st, 2006Do they have a special affinity for the absurdist humor found in the Monty Python reruns on every PBS station? Do they just listen to The Smiths and The Cure too much as awkward, pimply teenagers?
However it happens, I’ve got that nerd-Anglophile combo — as does my husband, otherwise we wouldn’t be married, I’m sure. […]
If you are my mother-in-law, stop reading now.
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006You don’t have to, but I am about to divulge the dinner menu for tomorrow night, which I’d prefer to surprise you with.

Thanksgiving: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Saturday, November 25th, 2006The Good: I gotta say, almost everything was pretty good. The turkey was — and I mean no disrespect to anyone who’s fed me Thanksgiving dinner in the past 30-something years — was probably the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. It was not the least bit dry, probably because I kept pacing around the kitchen […]
Well, it’s officially official.
Friday, November 24th, 20061. My first offical Thanksgiving dinner was actually really quite good.
2. My first official post as a guest blogger on Accidental Hedonist should be up tomorrow morning.
I am fairly proud of both.

Live-blogging the day before Thanksgiving:
Wednesday, November 22nd, 20068:44am: I should not need a degree in agricultural science to order sweet potatoes from FreshDirect. I ordered sweet potatoes, because I was like yams? the hell?
Yeah, turns out? That’s what I should have ordered: the yams. Because ordering sweet potatoes got me some kinda crazy ass yellow things that ain’t going in my sweet […]
