“I don’t like food. I love food. If I don’t love it, I DON’T SWALLOW IT!!!”
- Anton Ego, Ratatouille
Here’s what I look for in a restaurant.

Damn, I love Thanksgiving. This year most of the fam drove in from Maryland to have a Gourmet Grrl Thanksgiving feast. Some dietary issues had to be considered, so I plunked down some change for a few specialty cookbooks, and voila! Brand new traditions abounded. This was my first ever attempt at roast turkey.

It’s official: I’m a grownup. For the first time in history, I will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner for my entire family at my house. That’s right.

Ash is right, I was on the news. You know, I’ve done a lot of great things is this town. I’ve directed numerous theatrical productions, I’ve organized AIDS awareness events, the list continues.

Oh Joy! The following post is a dazzling example of how a vocal minority can move mountains. Unlike a reticent, apathetic majority who can forfeit both good sense and progress like we saw in our local elections last Tuesday. If I know you and you didn’t vote, be ashamed and don’t complain when they put a [...]

For those of you who are familiar with this Mexican celebration of people who have passed on, you know that part of the “ofrenda” or altar table includes the favorite foods of that person who is being honored.
