Tuesday, March 25th, 2008So 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 […]
Feature idea:
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008I’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:
a.) text with photos?
b.) audio with photos?
c.) video?

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?”
Having […]
Dear Brita, it’s over between us.
Friday, November 30th, 2007I hate my Brita water pitcher so much I would rather destroy the planet with bottled water.
There, I said it.
A little background info: before we moved to New York, when we still lived in the suburbs and had access to a Costco, we bought a bulk pack of Brita filters. Twenty filters, in fact.
Let me […]
New York bloggers! Assemble!
Monday, November 26th, 2007Does anyone know when we can expect the return of Veselka’s fabled Christmastime-only borscht? Is it there already? Someone find out for me!

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?

2 down, 1 to go
Monday, November 5th, 2007Last December, I made a seemingly simple resolution: learn to bake. I decided (quite arbitrarily) that I needed to make a cake, a pie crust, and something else before I decided it was done.
Since then, I’ve made a (quite good) cake, (kinda horrible) frosting, and a pie (bad filling but good crust).
To consider this […]
Rice with stuff.
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007That’s becoming our kitchen’s standard I-don’t-feel-like-cooking-but-let’s-not-get-pizza meal: “rice with stuff.” It’s sort of a half-assed version of a donburi or a bibimbap — which are, as I said, a bowl of rice with stuff on top.
I know the traditional way to make rice goes something like this:
Put the rice in a bowl and […]
A confession:
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I have never, to my knowledge, actually eaten a fresh fig.
So, to remedy that — and to make #29 on the list — I bought some of these:
Now I have a whole freakin’ quart of them. Suggestions for the rest?

Some thoughts on ELC before I start
Sunday, May 20th, 2007While I was cooking just now, I realized why $121 seems like both too much and not enough to spend on food for the week.
It seems like far too much because I never spend anything close to $121 on groceries every week — $75, maybe $95, but not as much as $121. But, then […]
