Why I Am A Bad Food Blogger: Part II

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

I have kept a draft titled Taste of Chinatown: Spring 2007 since, well, spring 2007.
Doesn’t seem especially blog-worthy now, does it?
Here’s the draft’s one highlight:

Tasty Dumpling. Five completely perfect dumplings for one whole dollar.

And that is why I live in the best city on earth.

Hiatus: over.

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Do you know how much stuff I’ve been doing lately? It’s crazy. Let me sum up, list-style:

I got sick. For like, a full week. This never happens.
The house fell into a shambles.
I started tidying up and the kid got whatever I had.
She got over it, then I had to embark on mad cleaning spree.
My mother-in-law […]

Taste of Chinatown 2.0!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

It’s back!
I don’t care if it is overrated/overcrowded/brings out the tourists in swarms — I freakin’ love Taste of Chinatown.
Here’s a series of posts about last fall’s Taste of Chinatown:
Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Who’s coming with me this year? I’m gonna have a stack of singles on me like an ugly bridesmaid at a […]

An Open Letter

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Dear Korean Food,
I still remember the day we met; I bought some mysterious pickled cabbagey thing I’d never heard of from the local Wild Oats. I brought it home, popped it open, and as soon as that fermented smell hit me, I knew we were gonna be friends. Remember that? I was living alone and […]

What I Did On My Christmas Vacation:

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

When I visit my mom, there are a few foods specific to the North Shore of Massachusetts that I must eat. When we went for a visit last week, I missed out on going to Betty Ann’s Subs (home of the greatest sub pretty much anywhere, for reasons I’ll detail some other time) but I […]

Dear Á Châu Deli guy, do you like Kristen? Check one: [ ] yes [ ] no [ ] maybe

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

This started out as a comment on The Porkchop Express’s post on Á Châu Deli in which he noted the surliness of the kids working behind the counter. I started to protest but then my comment got pretty long-winded, so I thought it best to turn it into its own post on the matter.
So, […]

I’m resisting the urge to call this post something cutesy like “leftovers!”

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Thursday is Target day (and when you live NYC, just getting to Target is a project requiring a good chunk of your day), so I’m going to glom together some of the little things I forgot to mention elsewhere:
I: I never mentioned I’ve started hitting up Chinatown’s beef jerky palace, New Beef King, as recommended […]

A quick update:

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve just been so busy reading the news online all day, I haven’t remembered to post until now. It’s all just so depressing, and yet I can’t stop reading about it. What’s going to happen next? What is this country coming to, anyway? I mean… Britney is getting a […]

Post-Birthday Wrap-Up

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

For starters, check out this Smitten Kitchen post about the pickle tasting party. I can’t even read it without salivating. I’m going to have to buy several jars of pickles now, just so I can see what I missed out on.
As for my birthday… I managed to not take one single photo. Not one. Brilliant, […]
