TIME: Out of Step, Out of Touch

I got an email this morning. “This morning” is a misnomer, actually: it showed up in my inbox about 10 minutes ago. “TIME Picks the Best Food Trends of 2008″ it happily proclaimed, and then shot me over to time.com to take a look at their brilliant insight. And by “brilliant” I mean bass-ackwards.

I’m Back!

Hi guys!
I’m back from Costa Rica. I documented my culinary adventures there pretty religiously in pictures, though I didn’t take photos of some of the more mundanely awesome things that happened.

The House Goes, Uncomfortably, Green

Yes, yes, I’m back. I’m sorry, I know it’s been a long, long while (which included a trip to Citronelle that I promise will be blogged about) since I’ve posted anything new, but it’s just because the holidays were very busy and I’ve been very tired and generally subsisting on Potato Buds and couscous with [...]
