Shameless Self-Promotion

Since I write about it so much here, I’ve decided to start an entire blog devoted to food.
The new blog is called she eats. and I’m pretty darn proud of it so far.  Hell, my first reader comment was from none other than Robb Walsh, so I guess that’s a damn auspicious way to kick off [...]

Guilty Pleasures

After spending a large chunk of the [rainy, cold and drizzly] afternoon watching “America’s Most Smartest Model” and then reading the recaps on TWoP (good gravy-fed God, I’m a dork!) I felt the need to purge some of my other guilty pleasures into the keyboard and onto the screen, in hopes that I’m not the only one [...]

Wine Tastes Like High School

My sweet Richard ran to the grocery store tonight to grab some fresh veggies and a bottle of wine to go with the lovely fat porkchops I had planned for dinner.  In a hurry to beat the impending thunderstorm, he grabbed the first bottle he saw that looked appealing.  It turned out to be something [...]

Thursday Tidbit

These two items from TWoP’s recap of last night’s “Kitchen Nightmares” episode cracked me up this afternoon:
In the kitchen, Brian knocks back a beer and brags about drinking Ramsay under the table. Whatever, Ramsay would be on his eighth glass of whisky and you’d be passed out from his fumes.
and
In the dining room, Ramsay critiques [...]

Manny Howard, I Salute You

If you’ve got time, listen to this great little segment from All Things Considered about a man who decided to create his own farm in his tiny Brooklyn backyard, complete with chickens, ducks and rabbits.
Man Lives Off the Fat of His Brooklyn Land
I can’t wait for the book to come out!

Random Sunday Afternoon Post

From the delicious shrimp curry I made for dinner last night:
 
I served the curry over some brown rice with a little dollop of the mango marinade on top (didn’t have any chutney, so this worked quite well in a pinch).  If you’re going to make this recipe, which I highly recommend as an easy, delicious and very healthy [...]

Cool… Refreshing… Canola Oil!

While guzzling a can of cheap, Randall’s-brand Slim-Fast Optima this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that I’d never once glanced at the ingredients label, even though I’ve been drinking the foul but useful things on and off since college.  Sure, I always give the nutrition lable a once-over, with self-satisfied thoughts of, “Hey! I’m getting [...]

My Inner Foodie

Where I work, we have a Breakfast Club, like so many other offices across the nation. And every Friday morning we are subjected to the unrepentant and unfailing cycle of bagels, donuts, bagels, donuts, bagels, breakfast tacos and more donuts. I don’t know why I used the word “subjected,” since we’ve all undertaken this breakfast [...]

You Are What You Eat

I’m going to go off on a food rant for a second here.
 
Store’s effort to sell fresh chicken raises concerns
 
The story above interests me.  The people concerned about the possible slaughter of poultry in their neighborhood grocery store don’t identify themselves as vegetarians, animal lovers, or even crazy PETA activists.  They aren’t concerned that the method [...]

Down Home

Please don’t ask me what I was doing at the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce website.  It’s a long story.  Suffice it to say, I love the fact that only in Texas are you going to find a restaurant directory with an entire category dedicated to catfish.
Yup.  That’s about it for today.

John Cleese Has Seen Better Days

This was my website o’ the day:  http://tbshumorstudy.com/main.html
I highly encourage utilization of the “Funny Movie Maker” tool as well as the “Wallpaper Generator,” if you’re like me and the only means you have of making your drab, claustrophobic, office existence bearable is by creating a desktop that looks like something Napoleon Dynamite vomited after eating [...]

Hey! Pepto-Bismol!

One of the few things that you look forward to when you’re at work for twelve hours straight is going into the office kitchen area and rooting around for leftovers from lunch.  Okay, maybe that’s just me.  Don’t judge me!
Anyway, I waddled into the kitchen tonight and there on one of the counters was a [...]

Birth of a Blog

So.  This is a blog.  Alright.
Richard got back from Manhattan yesterday night and we celebrated with Indian food at Nirvana.  Never been there before, but the food was much better than my usual haunt (Shiva).  Sorry, Shiva.  You still have the coolest Buddha-head mural this side of Kirby.
Today, I’m sick.  It’s unrelated to the Indian [...]
