vicarious cake-eating

On August 4, 2011 By

Oy.  It’s been too long.  I won’t make too many excuses, expect for hav­ing a busy sum­mer.  Plus, I haven’t been doing much of note with food lately, but I have some stuff com­ing up soon that will hope­fully get things jump started again.

First off, this Sat­ur­day at 1pm I will be get­ting interviewed […]

i’m melting…

On August 15, 2010 By

It’s very hot in Port­land. Mean­ing in the 90s. Most folks here don’t have air con­di­tion­ing, so it can get pretty mis­er­able. We are for­tu­nate enough to live in a house that sits north-south on the lot with few side win­dows, mean­ing that we get vir­tu­ally no direct sun­light in the lower level of our […]

Alas, given that […]

very berry american summer

On July 23, 2009 By

It’s hot.

It’s very hot.

I’m not going to com­plain, though. Our weather has volleyed between 65 degree highs and 95 degrees highs, rather bipo­lar. And when it was cooler, I was very loudly unhappy about it not feel­ing like sum­mer. Some­thing out there must have heard me, because here we are.

The heat has some benefits, […]

On July 9, 2009 By

Well, here she is: Episode 3 of the nom! nom! nom! cook­ing show. Enjoy this very clas­sic and sum­mery recipe.

Vichys­soise
This soup’s ori­gins are debated, but it’s creamy and addic­tive fla­vor is unde­ni­ably good. You can always use onions in place of the shallot.

1 tbsp. mar­garine
3 medium leeks, washed and […]
