Ballpark food…done right

September 10, 2009

(Guest post by The Boyfriend) I love baseball. I attended my first Major League game when I was eight, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve been known to plan entire vacations based largely on whether the destination city’s team(s) would be in town while I was there. This includes minor league teams, as well. [...]

Apparently it is No Cat Day.

September 9, 2009

…or Anti-Caturday. Or whatever. So other folks are doing AntiNoCats. I’m going to jump off of the foodie bandwagon by posting a picture of my cat. I’m just that cool. (Man, I can’t believe Slashfood is participating! Sheesh!) (He is awfully sad that you don’t want every day to be Caturday.)

Review: Wildflower Cafe, Mason

September 8, 2009

Three times in one week. I suppose that if I was trying to be a professional restaurant reviewer, every restaurant I’d go to would be visited a minimum of twice before I wrote about it.

September 1, 2009

Wow, last Friday’s recipe was timely– Sheila Lukins, who co-authored The Silver Palate Cookbook (with Julee Rosso) 27 years ago, died on Sunday. The Silver Palate, as I mentioned in my Chicken Marbella recipe post, was the cookbook that introduced many Americans, and in particular, working American women, to what we now think of modern [...]

What’s your Food Threshhold?

September 1, 2009

Everybody has something they won’t eat. Everyone has food they’re uncomfortable with. For some folks, it’s animal products (I have several good v*an friends). For some folks, it’s anything that isn’t “normal”; normal defined by good old American meat and potatoes. There are those that are adventurous (I had a boyfriend, once, who ate monkey [...]
