When I was traveling abroad, in order to make sense of whatever countries’ currency quickly, I developed my own economic indicator. I used a can of Coke. However much it took to buy a coke, I would then scale that to grasp how much things could buy. That was back when you [...]

We’re Just Like Everyone Else
Last night, I went to my favorite bar Jimmy’s to hang out with Siobhan and when I walked in I saw this woman who looked really familiar. She was looking at me too so for a bit I thought I knew her. I felt her name was Gail. I don’t know why.
Then [...]

Pickle Day!
This was my second year going to the Lower East Side International Pickle Festival. It’s a fun little thing to do on a fall afternoon. There’s about 10 or so pickle vendors showing off their wares. I have to say this year was better than last year. I think there were some new entries.
This is [...]
Monstrous Creations
I played a bit of the Iron Chef alchemist the other night. I had some (hot) turkey sausages that were about to go bad so I decided I should cook them all up at once rather than risk spoiling some of them. So I browned them on a skillet. And then realized they were freaking [...]
TV Dinner
Dear Reader,
I forgot to post some thoughts on the finale of Hell’s Kitchen this week. Forgive me! I know you were curious. Last night, I watched Top Chef too so I can offer some thoughts about both. Double Bonus!
Okay, so it went as expected with HK. Who won? Rock did. [...]
I Am A Freaking Gourmet!
After thinking a lot about cooking for awhile now, I decided to actually do some last night. So I went to Whole Foods and I bought a bunch of crap. I went to the fishmonger. How many times do you get to say that in modern times? (The English major in [...]
Shrimp Takes The Cake
Last night was a bit of a tease. It wasn’t the REAL finale of Hell’s Kitchen but rather the first of a two parter. Not much happened either. They started designing their own versions of Hell’s Kitchen(Bonnie is going really ecclectic and modern with a lot going on; Rock is going very [...]
Hell’s Kitchen TWIB Notes
I don’t know if Ramses made the best cooking related decision last night, but he made the right ENTERTAINMENT decision. Of course, we want to watch the hotty nanny and Rock square off. No way do we want to see Jen still around.
Is it just me or does Jen really cry at the [...]
Smothered & Covered
It was going to happen. You knew it. I knew it. We all knew it. It was just a question of when. Well, last night was when. Julia, the Waffle House cook, was finally sent home.
But my beloved Ramses said he was going to send her to culinary school [...]
