Wednesday, April 11th, 2007Evidently, I learned absolutely nothing from this year’s 10 pound Thanksgiving turkey — also known as Turkey ‘Til Your Eyes Bleed ‘06 — because I went and cooked a seven pound ham for Easter.
Seven pounds. For two adults and a four year old. Even assuming there’s a pound’s worth of bone, fat, and other […]
The downward-facing dog pose of food.
Friday, March 16th, 2007I 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 […]
I now enter Phase II of Learn to Bake.
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007When I set my “learn to bake” resolution, I wanted to be able to bake a cake, a pie crust, and a not-cake-or-pie dessert. I’m pretty comfortable with cakes now, having made a two-layer birthday cake as well as vegan cupcakes recently, and I think I’m about ready to learn the intricacies of pie […]
My secret food shame:
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007I really love olive loaf.
What’s your secret food shame?

And yes, that photo is my grocery list. One of them. God, I love lists.
Thursday, February 1st, 2007Between yesterday’s post (regarding my sudden inability to work with what I have on hand) and this week’s What’s In Your Basket? round-up, I’ve been thinking:
Do you buy what looks good (and/or is on sale) and then make a meal based around that? Or do you make a specific list of what you’d like to […]
Strut your stuff, cake bakin’ babies from home.
Thursday, January 11th, 2007You guys were so helpful with my rosemary issues, I’m back for more!
As you may or may not know, I’m making a cake for the kid’s 4th birthday this Sunday. I briefly considered buttercream frosting until I remembered none of us really like sugary frosting. I thought about Rachel’s fluffy white frosting, but, I admit, […]
I clean, therefore iPod.
Monday, December 11th, 2006In the past couple weeks, between Thanksgiving and my mother-in-law’s arrival (and departure), the majority of my time in the kitchen has been spent cleaning — or so it seems.
(Yes, that was my actual sink — after doing the Thanksgiving prep work.)
Here in NYC, an apartment with a dishwasher…? Let’s just say, if you want […]
Candy cane update:
Thursday, December 7th, 2006Whole Foods does, in fact, carry all natural candy canes under the Ashers All Naturals label. I stopped in the Union Square Whole Foods this past Saturday night (while out on a semi-annual date with my husband), where a very nice young man named Will brought us an assortment of candy canes from the back, […]
Um, little help over here? …Guys?
Monday, November 20th, 2006Oookay. Starting to get a little anxious about cooking a Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, yes, yes — I know it’s just me, my husband (who will not care), and my kid (who only cares about having hot chocolate with marshmallows for breakfast on “Big Balloon Day”).
My questions and concerns are as follows:
1. If I just took my […]
Startin’ the week with two holiday questions:
Monday, November 13th, 20061. FreshDirect is running a promotion: an order of $40 gets you get a free 10-14 lb. turkey. Now, did you really think I could turn down a free turkey? Of course not! Why would I pay to have a nice relaxed Thankgiving in a restaurant when we could all stay home while I […]
