It’s Memorial Day weekend, and barbeque is king. No doubt you’ve seen more than enough burger recipes in the past 48 hours; don’t worry, that’s not what I’m sharing today. No, no. I’m here for the vegetarians and the newly-minted lessmeatarians. Let’s make sure they (um, we) are well cared for this holiday weekend. And, [...]

A Corn Soup for Summer or Winter

First, dear readers, a housekeeping item. The spot of press that I’ve gotten over the past couple months was truly unexpected; I’ve spent a couple years in this here little corner of the web, so when people started to take notice, I wasn’t quite prepared. But as of yesterday, I’ve got a shiny new press [...]

I find it hard to put a finger on what makes vanilla so special. It’s the girl next door to chocolate’s cheerleader popularity, the “best supporting actor” to every winning cake.

When I was a kid, my mom and I baked brownies about once a week. My mom had her homemade recipes, which of course are excellent — but as a kid, all I ever wanted was Duncan Hines. I would always make sure I was on my best behavior throughout, so that when we were [...]

A couple weeks ago, a bunch of us went to a newish restaurant in town. Within days of the restaurant’s grand opening, word of its 19-ingredient Singapore Slaw had spread like wildfire. If there was a gold medal for slaw affection, I’d have it. So naturally, I needed to go check it out. I’d pretty [...]

Crescent Cookies

May 14, 2010

Either my blog has secretly been hoarding some of my recipes for its hungry self, or I’m dreaming. I could have sworn that I waxed poetic about these cookies last July, when I made them as the finale for a balcony barbecue I had with some friends. But I’ve searched — in the archives, in [...]

This isn’t the recipe I planned to share with you today. There’s a recipe for a cookie that I absolutely adore, that I was sure I posted last July. Thing is, I’ve been searching and searching for it on this site, but it seems either to have gone missing or to have never been posted. [...]

My beverages of choice? Water and wine. Every once in a while I can get into a good beer, and I’ll drink pretty much any cocktail mixed by the geniuses behind the bar at Restaurant Eve. But when I grab something to drink, it’s almost always either a tall glass of ice-cold water, or a [...]
