I wish I could give you all free cheese. I am a sucker for it myself. Free samples at the grocery store tempt me every time. So, when I spotted the Tillamook Loaf VW Bus, I nestled right up to the cheese bar. The girl manning the bar told me she had grown up on [...]

On the GoGo
Posted in Carpe Diem, Food Culture on April 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
You have not heard much from me because I’ve been trying to fit second tier jet-setting in with doing five days worth of work in only three. The fun part is—I’ve been traveling a bit which, like cooking is something I find myself prioritizing into my life. This usually means that I sneak in long [...]

Posted in Recipes, tagged easy recipe, Jam Today, parsnips, produce, soup, Tod Davies on April 21, 2010 | 3 Comments »
This is about the eighth week in a row I’ve received parsnips in my CSA box. I usually roast them and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar. This week I wanted to stretch them into something delicious that would keep in the fridge to pull out this week when we needed something. Inspiration: I just finished reading [...]

An astute friend recently told me that finding a mate is a lot like ordering at a restaurant. It is easy to get your heart set on a certain dish (read person). You peruse the menu (read dating) and, after some time to consider all the options, you know what you want. You are eager [...]
What Not to do When Thinking About Starting a Food Blog
Posted in Blogging About Blogging, tagged blogging, perfectionism, procrastination on April 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
So, say you were thinking about starting a food blog, like a couple people I know did last year. You may begin first to discuss at length with the people you dine with. Beware of advice from those that you cook for: their words will likely be self-serving. If the advice giver thinks that by [...]
Share Your “House Wine” Picks

My husband and I find ourselves buying this Spanish wine often. A lot of stores carry it and it’s a good value red that retails around $12 – $15. You can probably find it cheaper online. We like it. Juan Gil. Jumilla, Spain. Grape Varietal: Monastrell I’d love to hear your recommendations for inexpensive wines [...]

The photo below shows me taking a picture of me standing in front of Langer’s Delicatessen in Los Angeles. (I was looking rather cute that day and I wish you could see just how cute but it’s not a great photograph.) If you look at the reflection in the glass, you can see that this [...]
A Sentimental Life
Posted in Carpe Diem on April 4, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The night had not started out well. I was tired, pushed beyond my comfort zone in the corporate world and just wanted to be home. Once there, I was listless, a bit distracted and definitely not ready to dirty a single extra dish or pan but not ready to leave the house to eat something [...]
