Foodie vs. (Vegan) Foodie: Let's Stop Dropping Anvils Already

Foodie = someone who loves food. Food = something you eat. Pretty broad. I think you are a foodie if you are passionate about food. Personally, I eat everything. My diet is 90% plant based, thanks to my CSA. All of my veg and meats are organic and sustainablly raised. That's my beef with beef, I care about how the food got to my table. If it was mass produced damaging the envoirnment, the people harvesting it, the animals, the communities, I don't want to have anything to do with it. Unfortunately, that means eating less meat for me. If I want meat I have to make a 90 minute (round trip) drive to Whole Foods. That dosen't happen very often! But if I'm out with friends I would rather enjoy them and the enviornment than stand out and make the situation uncomfortable. It's only 1 meal, I feel good about my food choices so 1 meal isn't going to make me lose any sleep.

Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Masters' Episode 9

So, where I grew up, if you are working for someone and if they are in a position you want to be in some day AND if they are hugely successful in their field, you do what they want and you do it with a smile on your face. You want me to chop carrots? Ok, no problem. I doubt that disrespectful, punk Dale will find it easy to get a job, he better be damn good so he can HOPE to achieve what Chiarello has on his own. What a looza!

Weekend Cook and Tell: Going Solo

I am happily married now and lucky because i love to cook and my husband loves to eat, he'll eat anything exept brussels and liver, no complaints from me! When i was single I cooked all the time for myself. Biscuts and gravy for a saturday morning breakfast, pastas, salads. My favorite was to cook up a big ol pot of green chilli, freeze it in serving size tupperware and eat it whenever I didn't have time to cook!!!

I loved the book! I laughed so hard, I cried! The bone marrow part, OMG! I hope the movie does it justice. Maryl as Julia, brilliant! Plus, Nora Ephron is directing it, love her stuff. I'm really looking forward to it, probablly will buy the blue ray too!

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

So many tapas memories, my mother is from Barcelona and I have been lucky enough to visit 7 times in my life, each time for about a month. What sticks out most is our friend Jauma. My husband and I were there together for the first time on our honeymoon. Jauma decided to take us to this little place, bustling in the city but near the water. We couldn't speak to eachother very well, but he took over and ordered a plate of these little green peppers (2 to 3 inches long) that were fried and lightly salted. MMMM! We ordered 2 more plates, we liked them so much! I wish I could find those peppers here, I'd try to recreate them!

Not Worth the Trouble?

As my friend once told me "there's no short cut to coolness" in other words some things just take time. For me, never made phyllo dough or pumpkin puree from scratch.

Dear Food Network, Please Stop

I used to be an avid food network viewer myself. Had it on all the time. Now, hardly ever. I agree with every one of these posts! So sad!

Williams-Sonoma Profit Down 90%

Just because it looks like a Le creuset does not mean it acts like one. The enamel chips easily and the heat distribution isn't as good. Quality items are investments. You can buy cheap pans and keep replacing them every year or go out and buy all clad and they'll last a life time -if you take care of them correctly- which I had to learn the hard way!
