Hello to anyone who may be here from BrokeAss Gourmet! I am so excited to have won their Good Vibrations Giveaway with my sexy 3 course meal idea. My blogging schedule is typically Tuesdays and Fridays, but in honor of my victory I am planning on doing a detailed write up of my winning recipes, [...]

It has been ungodly hot in San Francisco the past few days. As a result, I haven’t felt like turning on the stove. Or the oven. Or anything that produces heat, really. I’ve subsisted on pico de gallo and margaritas. Ok, that was a lie. But I am eating/drinking them right now, and I have [...]
Friday’s Post-April 17

I regret to inform you all that I will be unable to post anything this Friday. I’m up in Portland visiting my friend Bryna who just had a baby. She (Bryna, not the baby) can make chocolate chip cookies without a recipe. She is the only person I know who can do this. She’s kind [...]
Recipe: Faux Hostess Cup Cakes

It’s been a sweet couple of days. I usually emphasize savory dishes in this blog, because I don’t have any original baking recipes (sorry, but I have to use a recipe to make chocolate chip cookies!) and because I’m not usually a big fan of sweets. But I had this idea. I want to create [...]
Recipe: Molten Chocolate Cake

This recipe hails from the September 2008 issue of Food and Wine magazine. These mini chocolate cakes are extremely easy to make and sinfully delicious. One of the coolest things about them is their versatility–you can use almost anything you like for the filling (I used marshmallow fluff and strawberry jam) or if you don’t [...]
A Meditation on Blueberry Muffins
Posted in Non recipe posts on April 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m participating in the Omnomicon Blueberry Muffin Recipe Round-Robin. I submitted a recipe myself, and I can’t say which recipes I’m trying (that would be against the rules) but I want to say that the muffin that I just ate was AMAZING. There is no way I am winning this thing. Once the contest is [...]
Recipe: Chicken Pho

I am a Pho lover. LOVER. I eat mine with hoisin, basil and lots of lime. I typically get the rare beef stuff when I get it out (because I like my meat to be nearly raw) but I make chicken pho when I’m at home. This isn’t my recipe, sadly. It is the first [...]
