Sugar Free

ML — Thu, 06 May 2010 14:53:28 +0000

I really thought Josie over at YumYucky was crazy when I heard she was giving up sugar for a week.

Last night I decided I’M GOING TO DO IT TOO. Starting today. I’ll be following the same rules, except I will put Splenda in my morning coffee. That is something I’m not giving up.

I think this is [...]

Obsession of the Week

ML — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:08:51 +0000

Sometimes I just get on these food kicks. It’s weird. I’ve been doing it for as long as I could demand food. I become obsessed with one food item, eat it non stop for a week (or several), and then forget about it completely.

I’ve been told I did this with hot dogs when I was little [...]

Food Photography is Bullshit

ML — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:36:23 +0000

I think most “food photography” is bullshit.

Yes, I said it.

I just don’t get these “perfect” food images. Why do we need studios in our kitchens? Why are there classes on food styling and taking the perfect pictures of our sandwiches, sandwiches whose images will never exist in real life outside of [...]

My Top 10 College Cafeteria Foods

ML — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:21:21 +0000

In a month or so, it will be ONE YEAR since I graduated (graduated is a loose term) from college. It will be two years since I ate regularly in the cafeteria. I miss the days of disgruntled central Pennsylvania women greeting me at the door and scolding me when [...]

what not to eat for breakfast

ML — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:38:52 +0000

If you didn’t notice, I love eating cheese for breakfast (fuck pancakes). Cottage cheese hardly qualifies as cheese (to me), but I used to bring these little snack cups to the office every day for the perfect desk meal. Until I found a hair in mine. I opened my cottage cheese and there was A [...]

Questions

ML — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:32:43 +0000

Sometimes I joke about my family being Jewish. While it’s mostly a joke, it’s hard to overlook my grandmother’s love for King David wine and my cousin’s cheapness ability to find a deal. However, this Easter, all of my doubts about my family’s Christian roots were thrown away.

I love my friends.

Dot Soup

ML — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 02:54:38 +0000

If high sodium soups make you want to vomit and you’re morally opposed to eating food from a can, stop reading. Now.

The name for this recipe comes from acini de pepe, or pasta dots. The actual recipe? No idea where it comes from, although it’s not much of a recipe. I have been eating it when [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Treats

ML — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:15:54 +0000

This past weekend, my friends and I made a pilgrimage to Scranton, Pennsylvania for their annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. And is it really St. Patrick’s Day without green food?

This chocolate chip cake feels like a family recipe, but it’s really from an old old old Pillsbury cookbook. We’ve been eating it for as long as [...]

Starting with a Starr

ML — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:41:13 +0000

I’ll be honest. I think Philadelphia Restaurant Week is wayyy overrated.

$20 lunches and $35 dinners may seem reasonable, but most (I said MOST) restaurants on the list are actually equally or less expensive, plus there is more freedom in ordering your meal. Par example, Zahav offers a tasting much like their RW menu for $36 per [...]
