Oooooo just had a pint of Prince Pücklers ice cream that was half pistachio almond, and half strawberry. It was a perfect pairing!

Have you seen my cat butt mug? It’s one of my favorite coffee cups. As any owner of a black cat knows, they have prominent tushes that they like to show off. I bought this mug about a year ago at the Sur La Table up in Portland near Powells. Having lived with it for [...]

The online food forum, eGullet recently put forth the postulation that the average cookbook will only have 7 recipes make its way to its owners table. Fondling my newest cookbook, Alice Medrich’s Bittersweet, I can count off three recipes I’ve made in the last two weeks, and I can easily think of four more that [...]

You know what’s cool about receiving PR when you have a food blog? They usually follow up with yummy stuff!

Megan of Not Martha just posted some fabulous April Fool’s food projects up on Ready Made. Reading over these fantastic recipes for vanilla pudding dessert pot pie and mashed potato cupcakes makes me even more sad that this sacred holiday is on a Saturday. My poor co-workers will feel so left out! The family fun [...]

My neighborhood grocery store carries many socially responsibile/ambitious items. My latest find to realize I’m fondly attached to are Eco-bags, unbleached 100% natural cotton draw-string bags. In particular I have a couple of their Produce & Grain bags floating around the kitchen. These bags are great for storing vegetables, and for use in draining items [...]
