Save The Toast?

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

So, I got this email today via the contact form on my site:
Hi Kristen,
I thought you might be interested in checking out www.savethetoast.com as
it could provide some fun foodie fodder for your blog. It’s really
lighthearted and I hope you find it to be as cute as I do. Please let me
know what you […]

A year later.

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

As of this week, this blog is one year old — only I don’t really feel much like celebrating.
Recently, my husband and I were on the Upper West Side and he saw an ad for some upcoming food festival. He asked me if I knew what it was. “Ugh, I don’t know,” I said. […]

But I don’t!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

I just noticed this blog is currently the top Google result for: i hate padma.
I don’t hate Padma! In fact, I rather like her. I even like her big weird scar that I never noticed until last week and now I can’t stop looking at.

That Gail, though…? Her, I could do without.

ELC Day 3

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I have just returned home from the Union Square Greenmarket with the following:
- another Fizzy Lizzy soda ($1.69 at Whole Foods)
- a loaf of bread ($4.00)
- dandelion greens and spinach ($5.00)
- turkey sausage because the turkey thighs were so good ($9.20 for about 1.5 lbs)
- grape tomatoes ($3.50)
- cheese (about .3 lbs for $7.00)
- a […]

What am I, Job?

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

I think my last post must have deeply offended Tron Guy, Mighty Lord of the Internets, because he smote(? smited?) my sweet defenseless cable modem.
So now, not only is my blog still awry, I’m also without internet access until sometime Sunday. And let me tell you, the library frowns on patrons bringing in batches […]

Wait… what?

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

This just landed in my inbox: FreshDirect is offering a premade Passover seder plate and $20 gets you a platter, prefilled with all the necessary items.
To wit:

Why schlep all over town? Our seder package includes an attractively blue-scripted white platter full of all the essentials: a cooked lamb shank, a hard-boiled egg, parsley, romaine hearts, […]

The downward-facing dog pose of food.

Friday, March 16th, 2007

I had a yoga instructor who used to tell her students everyone has one pose they find effortless on their very first try*, and one pose they will always struggle with. As for me, like the title says, downward-facing dog is my yoga nemesis. No matter what I do, it just doesn’t work out for […]

In Praise of the Fluffernutter

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Last night, as I was reading Fashionable Food: Seven Decades of Food Fads, I found (on page 301), Sylvia Lovegren has listed Fluffernutters (alongside utter crap as Screaming Yellow Zonkers and and Harvey Wallbangers) as near-inedible foods given ridiculous names in the 1970s.
I am here to publicly state: Ms. Lovegren, you are wrong.

First off, the […]

And now, an outtake from tomorrow’s Accidental Hedonist post.

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

I live in New York City and I am therefore obligated to wear black clothing, which I love.
I also own many aprons, in various retro mémère-chic styles, all of which I love.
So, why do I never think to combine the two?
