The Week of Eating In: Day Four – Steel Cut Oats and the Seduction of Pastry

Thursday 25 February 2010

This is the babka that officially sank my streak of eating in. Say what you will about my lapse in willpower, but if you utter a lowly syllable about the babka, you are banned from my life. I spent this morning slushing down Bedford for a medical appointment. While trudging back up from the heart [...]

The Week of Eating In: Day Three – Sick Day and Sizzling Pork Fat

Wednesday 24 February 2010

A vengeful sinus infection has been making my already hectic week fundamentally Hellish, but thanks to my batch cooking reserves, whole grains and abundant produce I’ve continued to eat in well. Since I didn’t have the time or strength to produce a video this afternoon, I thought I’d share my favorite way to go about [...]

The Week of Eating In: Day Two – Fried Eggs and Omurice

Tuesday 23 February 2010

When people hear the word “whole foods,” I think a cloud of buzzwords typically attached to the phrase makes the concept more obtuse than it needs to be.

When I accepted Cathy’s offer to be on the blogging team for the Week of Eating In, I envisioned myself incorporating bold new moves into my cooking repertoire. Then, I realized that this is deadline week for Ice Cream Man‘s Off the Wookie, an annual magazine of which I am the editor. Add this to [...]

The National Week of Eating In Begins on Monday!

Saturday 20 February 2010

When I started reading food blogs in early 2007, two web sites jumped out at me right away as great resources with great voices. The first was Monster Munching OC, a deep reservoir of informed, informative and fun reviews of an expanse of land with much more amazing food than most people realize. The second [...]

Paczki Day in Polar Proportions

Tuesday 16 February 2010

Every so often, I relish poor decisions. This is rarely the case when said decisions involve food and never the case when they involve champagne (though it is always the case when said decisions involve relish). In a case for rarity, last week’s snowtorious blizzard, which for me capped about a month of intermittent winter [...]
