    The best food

    Hey Internet, do you know what the best chicken pot pie is? It’s the one that is made, by scratch, by a friend. That is eaten with good wine, while the most adorable dog in the world tears apart her toys. And is followed by a victorious – throttling, even – game of Scrabble.
    I love [...]

    Eat my rose

    I’m not a secretive person (but you may have already figured that out). I am all about sharing (perhaps a bit too much so), and since I’m trying to get into the holiday spirit of giving, I thought I’d offer up my baklava recipe.
    It is a pretty good recipe, and I hope you like [...]

    I don’t get it

    Every year, my firm has a Thanksgiving luncheon. The gist is that the firm buys the turkey and a few other items, and we all potluck the rest. This is a Happy Day at the firm, and, I’m pretty sure it is also the day when noone ever catches the flu. Or works from home.
    My [...]

    I’ll have a glass of salad, please.

    Seeing as how there is no news on other fronts, like the Crazy Fat Chick epic or the baby-making (just add jizz and stir!) journey, I thought I’d take a detour and tell everyone that if you’ve got a couple hundred bucks to toss around, then I think you will like…. Hey, Internet, do you [...]

    Breakfast of champions

    What I’m about to say is going to disappoint you, dear Internet. I don’t mean to be such a pathetic fatty, but one cannot always account for one’s preferences. See, as much as I know I should, for whatever reason I just can’t seem to do what all fatties are supposed to do – sit [...]

    Yumitude

    I’ve recently joined a foodie blog because, well, I like to write, I like to eat (don’t all fat people?!), and so I thought the two would go well together. It’s called 5 Star Foodie, and below is my first real post. Yes, this is totally cheating (double dipping?) but I don’t care. [...]

    Live baby squid was where I drew the line

    As I’ve blogged about before, fluency involved more than just grammar and vocabulary. I like to think of fluency as becoming comfortable with the heart and soul of a language.
    Every utterance spoken, I believe, is based on and framed by cultural norms (especially those considered offensive or strange). Simple questions or statements can have profound [...]
