Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Not long ago, I saw a recipe for Brussels Sprout salad on a blog I am almost surprised I follow, The Chubby Vegetarian. It may come as a shock that I am a fan of such a site, as I am a meat lover through and through; however, the more blog browsing I did, the…

Andrew had a conflict last night and I have one next week, which means our True Blood dinners had to be put on hold. While I have no idea how I am going to call on the strength to keep myself from watching for two weeks, it will all be worth it when we do…

I was taking Thursday off work before the long 4th of July weekend so I convinced Sasha to get a mani/pedi with me. Since we were getting our nails done in her ‘hood, I put Sasha in charge of picking a casual eatery. As we entered Bite, I realized I had walked by this hole…

A couple weeks ago, I was watching one of my favorite shows, Modern Family, and was struck with inspiration. In this particular episode, flamboyantly gay Cam is hijacking a middle school musical and his boyfriend, Mitchell, brings him a pb&j in an attempt to be supportive. Of course, a crazy gay man won’t eat peanut…

This past weekend, I hopped on the Bolt Bus and headed to Boston for my cousin’s wedding. Sure, I would have preferred warmer weather conducive to walking tours of the city, but I was content to explore the city in the cold because I have no idea when my next visit will be. Right as…

Last night was the season finale of Top Chef. Actually, it wasn’t – apparently there’s another episode; but since I thought it was, I wanted to make sure I prepared some new recipes. I didn’t want to eat take out or leftovers while watching these All Stars cook food magic. That said, it was late…
