A few nights ago, my sister made her way through Whole Foods and snapped up several different Irish cheeses. We jazzed our cheese bites up with some cranberry chutney, and washed it all down with some comfy red wine. (read full article)
One of my all time favorite pizza joints is Papa Gino's. It's a small chain, and they make some of the most delicious freakin' pizza I've ever had. The only two pizzas that I have had that even compare were from Sal's in Mamaroneck, NY and a pizza pi (read full article)
January has been cold. Not a lot of snow has found it's way around here, which is surprising...since last year we were neck deep in it by now. Still, it's been pretty chilly out, but I don't mind wearing scarves and gloves to counter the cool. It's (read full article)
So it's almost Christmas time again, I see. It hardly seems like it this year though, only a little snow has floated down and the chill hasn't hardly gone below 30 degrees yet. Still, winter is almost officially here, and Christmas is lurking just ar (read full article)
Yikes, a month since my last deposit here? Well not many fabulous foods have slipped through the cracks of neglect, considering my absence has been due to ongoing illness. I'm better now and eating again, without the fear of regurgitation or malfunct (read full article)
In an effort to avoid fast fooding, I have been trying to re-vamp old, fast classics. Okay okay...I actually stole this idea from R, but it's still delicious, spiffy, and has one of the most dynamite ingredients included - avocados. Real gems.Instead (read full article)
I love eating out at Japanese restaurants and getting a steamed basket or bowl of edamame...which is basically baby soybeans. I like how they prepare them in the pods with salt on the outside, so you can split the pod open with your fingers and pop t (read full article)
I was craving lobster (haven't you ever?) on Sunday, so I proposed a seafood feast dine-out for dinner. R agreed, and we headed over to the USS Chowder Pot IV in Hartford, CT. Even though I have lived in CT for over 20 years (with a few gaps of time (read full article)
On a rainy night last week, we pulled our pot of oregano off of the back porch and put it in the sink. It was time to make pizza sauce.Red and green and scrumptious. (read full article)
Brussel sprouts can be intimidating. Mostly because they taste so disgusting. Right? Well, that was my previous mindset until I discovered the power of pig fat. The first time I had a really delicious brussel sprout was several months ago, when R cri (read full article)
I do love snacks. I also love drinks...especially tiny drinks. In fact, I love tiny things in general. Tiny kittens, tiny food, tiny cups, tiny spoons...you get the idea. So, when we were able to buy some boxes of Van Gogh Vodka nips for super disco (read full article)
I've been spending a lot of time over at AssociatedContent.com, submitting articles and enjoying the monetary benefits coming along with it. So much so, that I've forgotten to eat in general - literally typing for hours and then realizing I had a ter (read full article)
Last week we flew to St. Thomas from New York. Once we returned from our trip, before driving back to Connecticut we stopped in R's hometown of Mamaroneck to have some dynamite pizza, pasta e fagioli and salad. Well...over the rest of the week and ov (read full article)
I'm sorry, I know it's the beginner's roll, the non-adventurous roll, part of the "sushi eater starter kit"... but I just love California rolls. I love the fact that they are so compact and the flavors are simple, contained, and balanced. I like how (read full article)
I have been eating lately, let me assure you...forgive the absence of updates (I'm pretty much only apologizing to myself ;)My eating heart has been somewhat uninspired; lately I have been carving my way through cold cut sandwiches and bowls of micro (read full article)
This morning was cold.I woke up to a shadowy room and the fan rolling soft chilly ribbons over my shoulders, forcing me back under the covers. I flickered my eyes to try and regain sense of sight. Of course not having my glasses or contacts nearby wa (read full article)
I'm excited to change my eating mind. I don't consider eliminating fast food to be such a loss, out here (north coast, north east) we hardly have any decent fast food chains to talk about anyway. We only have the basics (i.e. McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco (read full article)
What fun is food, if the "fun food" is never enjoyed? I love to eat, but I have to admit my fast food habits have gotten out of hand. So much so that I'm just staying sick. My body doesn't seem to have enough nutrients to recouperate back to a semi- (read full article)
Today I ate at McDonalds twice. TWO TIMES. That's ridiculous. I've been known to drive to three different fast food places just to get certain items from each location to complete my "meal". It's an addiction - I guess I can safely say, I'm addicted (read full article)
