Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch
Michael Pollan’s new essay – which will appear in the New York Times Magazine on Sunday – begins with a reminiscence on Julia Child, which seems almost mandatory with the forthcoming release of Julie and Julia next week. When I … Continue reading
Smells Like Rickrolling
A perfect mashup and Rickrolling in one clip? How could I not re-post this: Only one of the musicians shown in this video still has a career. Who would have figured it to be the drummer?
Gooseberry Jam
She Who Must Be Obeyed came home from work on Friday with a huge bag full of gooseberries. Not just any gooseberries, but gooseberries from her boss’s gooseberry bushes. Gooseberries that could not be politely refused, as one does with … Continue reading
The Meat Experiment
It’s easy to eat locally grown vegetables when you can just walk a few blocks every weekend and pick what you want from a large variety of stands. It’s harder to eat locally grown meat, because there are fewer vendors … Continue reading

I‘m not talking about Rimbaud, I’m talking about Gordon Ramsay. He’s back, and he’s just as mean as ever. Here’s a preview of the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen, starting tonight: As always, the season will start with each contestant … Continue reading
What They Really Said
This is the conversation I always figured NASA had with Neil and Buzz:
A Better Breakfast Faster?
When She Who Must Be Obeyed stumbled downstairs yesterday morning, she was greeted by He Who Will Not Be Ignored: He remembered the Batter Blaster can in the fridge, which I had purchased a few weeks earlier. Time to make … Continue reading
Summer Berry Mille Feuille with Lemon Curd
Nothing will make you feel better about your cooking failures than watching chef Gordon Ramsay excoriate a hapless member of his kitchen brigade. So when my second attempt at a berry dessert crashed and burned, I watched an episode from … Continue reading
