TV. Food. Pop Culture.
It’s been a while since I’ve written about my cooking, but fear not, I’m still attempting all sorts of exotic dishes in my humble kitchen, and yes, most of them turn out bright orange. Case in point: this Brazilian Shrimp Stew recipe that I found on Epicurious. As most of my culinary adventures are inspired …

UGH. My quest for a free Angry Whopper has become a drawn out affair, no thanks to Burger King, which seems unwilling to hold up its end of the bargain. After four weeks had gone by since I’d dropped ten friends from Facebook as per the rules of the promotion, I decided to call up …

As you all know, I’m a huge fan of my friend Mark and Leslie’s cakes (they run the bakery Mark Joseph Cakes). They are most famous on this site for their R2D2 Cake, which still draws two hundred new readers a day, and now Mark has sent me this photo of an Oscar cake he …
Oops. I accidentally caused a minor conflagration in my toaster oven today when I took my eyes off some would-be pita chips for just a tad too long.

OH REALLY? Last month, I dutifully dropped ten people from Facebook with the promise of receiving a free Angry Whopper from Burger King. Much to my shock, when I had completed the deed, I received a message saying my gift certificate would be arriving in two to four weeks. I wasn’t happy with the lack …

Last time on The Parsley Chronicles, I took drastic measures to save my ailing parsley plant by engaging in some painful, yet necessary pruning. The hope was to clear away the dead, bad vegetation and leave room for the few remaining bright spots to grow boundlessly. As a result, I was left with a near …

Guess what? Today is World Nutella Day! That’s right, today is the day we celebrate Nutella, that glorious blend of hazelnuts, cocoa, and skim milk. The spread, which has been a childhood favorite of mine ever since I tried it at my friend Ed’s house, can be used in many different ways, but usually, I …
My recent adventures in domesticity have been rather complex affairs involving multiple exotic ingredients and often a few hours of cook time. That’s why I decided to simplify things with a less grandiose endeavor: hummus! This Middle-Eastern treat requires only a few elements: tahini, garbanzo beans, olive oil, salt, and garlic. How hard could it …
