Highlights: Trader Joe’s

I would say that I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s, but I know a lot of people who are borderline obsessed with it.  Despite all the love TJ’s gets, there’s also a lot of controversy.  People take issue with the fact that it’s perceived as a health food store, but a lot of the products [...]

Menu Planning

Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that not everyone lives (or cooks, or eats) like I do. Last week, I went out to lunch with Cynthia.  During the course of our conversation, she mentioned to me that she wished she was as good at menu planning as I am.  The comment surprised me, [...]

My mother sent this video to me.  It almost defies description…only that it’s wonderful on a number of levels, especially if you’re a Star Wars fan who also likes organic food.  Enjoy.

I knew that a day which began with 50 cent iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts would be a good one, but when I left the house Tuesday morning I underestimated just how good the day could be.  I managed to go to DD, Whole Foods, Fore Street and Gelato Fiasco on the same day (“Go [...]

So far so good, as the weekend goes.  On Friday, the family and I went to see celtic rock fusion band Enter the Haggis.   An excellent show as always (In my family, I’m the slacker with only 5 ETH concerts under my belt.  Check them out, they’re great.)  On the way to the show [...]

I’m 85 pages into Kitchen Confidential and I’m enjoying it very much. Anthony Bourdain inspires me to spend more time in the kitchen, improving my craft (because “a good cook is a craftsman–not an artist”{pg 62} which is good, because my sister is the artsy one) and trying new things since “your body is not [...]

Cleaning out your kitchen

Mark Bittman (him again?!) recently wrote this piece on “items you might spurn, along with some essential pantry and long-keeping refrigerator items you might consider” when stocking your cabinets.  This article makes me want to throw out most of what’s in my cupboard…but it gave me a lot to think about, especially in regards to [...]

Not-so-super markets

One might think that the best way to make and eat food that I actually desire would be to go to the store and get it myself.  This always seems like a good plan until implementation.  First of all, I’m pretty sure it’s only necessary to go to the store once or twice a week, [...]
