Sometime a year ago, I read an article or a blog post about preserving lemons, and the process intrigued me. A few days later, I bought a jar from Ikea and planned to pickle my own bundle of citrus, but as is often the case, extreme laziness overwhelmed me, and for many months now, the …

Bravo didn’t post any screen shots of last night’s Top Chef: Masters (an episode that featured a bride who looked like Carrie Underwood with giant boobs — or as I like to call her, Carrie Boobserwood), and so I figured I’d helm my own culinary minded post with yet another installment of Adventures in Domesticity. …

It’s been a while since I posted about a Fresh Cocktail Hour. In the past, my friends and I have conjured up Bloody Marys and jalapeño margaritas from scratch. At last I have a new addition to the canon. Last weekend, in a fit of impromptu citrus indulgence, I decided to buy some blood oranges …

I love many things about Los Angeles, but I can’t say I’m a big fan of the early-bird schedule. Once 7:30 rolls around, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t eaten dinner yet (or at least already made plans to). Imagine my unhappiness then Friday night when dinner plans had fallen through, leaving …

Apologies for the dearth of updates on the blog today. I spent a decent portion of the day working out my taxes, which is never a particularly fun experience. The good news is that I’m done (for now), which means I can turn my attention back here. As avid readers of this blog may remember, …

This morning, there was as wonderful confluence of events that led to an unexpected Adventure in Domesticity. 1) I ran out of my normal breakfast cereal that I eat everyday; and 2) I learned it was National Pancake Day, at least as declared by IHOP. What better way to fill the breakfast void than by …

Still trying to figure out what to make for Super Bowl Sunday? Perhaps you should take the lead of my friend Heather, author of Eat Your Feelings, who has made this instructional video in the effort to a) enlighten the masses on a possible game-time option, and b) promote her aforementioned book.
