I cocked up dinner once again last night. I swear it wasn’t my fault. I had planned to bake bread and do poached eggs with asparagus and Camembert (awesome, right?) but there was a mishap. The dough …
When I was a child, I was a judgemental and snotty little punk.

a)mentally handicapped
b) unloved, unwanted, socially inept …
We found beautiful fruit, vegetables and eggs at the mercado earlier today. In order to compensate for overindulging at our favorite neighborhood taqueria last night and a pizza feast of epic proportions planned for tomorrow, …

Last night I cooked a chicken upside down. No, not to serve some satanic cult of poultry, merely because I am scatterbrained. Fortunately, it turns out that I am incapable of ruining a roast chicken and we …
‘Cause it was friggin’ delicious. Also, chicken thighs! Here they’re called muslo de pollo and I’ve had a package of these mofos in the freezer since before Christmas. I’ll admit, I was intimidated. Although of late I’ve become …

Easter weekend is creeping up, and many of us will be heading out to the homes of family and friends to eat, drink, and throw eggs at the houses of our enemies.
What will you be …
I have a massive deficiency as a foodie.
I do not eat fish.
I loathe being even in proximity of cooked or cooking fish.
