TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Since it’s been rather cold here in Los Angeles, hitting lows of about 68°, I felt it was imperative that I cook myself a hearty meal for dinner last night. Plus, it was the perfect opportunity to use my new food mill. The menu: red wine braised sausage over a celery root puree. Needless to …

In an attempt to spur on continued growth, I aim my parsley in the direction of a man next door who’s tending to a rooftop garden. Hopefully this glimpse of homegrown horticulture will inspire my sprouts to grow faster. Developing…
I’m happy to report that my parsley is apparently sprouting at a rapid rate. This bodes well for my desire to use fresh, home-grown herbs sometime in mid March. Thanks to Jash for the photo…

Last week, I brought you tales of Franco-Mexican fusion with my controversial brie quesadillas (with corn tortillas). Many close-minded people were shocked at the combination, and while not everyone can be as adventurous as I, surely there won’t be as much of a massive outcry about my chocolate cheesecake, which has been a tried and …

Back in the fall of 1997, I received a nifty bottle-opener keychain at Dartmouth orientation. It was a stellar addition to my burgeoning key ring as it was both very practical and completely free. Oh, how I enjoyed those heady days of popping the caps off beer bottles without a care in the world. Over …
