So in the absence of any forthcoming $6,000 grants, I’ve decided to take my own culinary tour of Thailand. And so even though it appears that I am not yet done worshipping the porcelain goddess from time to time, I’ve been cooking up a storm. Last week our good friend James went back to China […]
Someone please tell me these guys haven’t contributed to the gene pool…. Yes, that’s an electric grill they’ve hooked up in the middle of the pool. With floating extension cords. Wow. Via boingboing.
 Veeeery tasty. And I learned a few things about making ice cream. 1) If you’re going to eat it right away, consider using less fat. This recipe was half heavy cream. When it was still fairly soft, just out of the churn, it tasted so buttery we could each just eat a couple tablespoons worth. […]
Are actually something to look forward to now. Today I got to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time. Sha-shunk, sha-shunk, sha-shunk. It sounded so…. real.

Seriously, if there are any millionaires out there just itching to do a good deed for someone (maybe in exchange for pottery?) then I just found my dream vacation: a culinary tour of Thailand, led annually by chef Pranee Halvorsen.

So for those of you that remember, the garbagemen in my neighborhood are STILL morons. (For those of you that care, here’s backstory 1 and backstory 2). Once again they took my recycling bin along with my recycling. Despite all the boldly painted recycling signs all over it and the fact that it is obviously […]
I think it’s nearly (as Josh says) the beginning of the end of the beginning! Since I’m finishing up 11 weeks this Friday, the second trimester – and its break from constant nausea and fatigue – is right on schedule. And just in time for the New Year! I’ve had less nausea than usual today […]
