thanksgiving 2012
Happy Thanksgiving! This year, I took a different approach to Thanksgiving. I didn’t host anything, I barely made plans at all and I decided that if I did cook, I wouldn’t be too ambitious about it. As you can see from year’s past, (2010, 2011) I tend to go overboard on planning and cooking. There […]
how to throw your own Iron Chef party!
August 23, 2011
Here’s my advice if you’d like to throw your own Iron Chef Party – and you should! It was SO much fun. Pick your opponent, choose a date, and craft your guest list! Obviously we had a built-in rivalry as roommates, but you should definitely make sure to battle against someone who you know is […]
Iron Chef: Battle Oats!
August 23, 2011
Sunday was the first in what I imagine will be a series of cooking showdowns between my roommate Heather and I. We hosted an “Iron Chef” competition (three dishes to make and three hours to cook) and were joined by a dozen of our friends who were eager to judge. We solicited suggestions for the […]

After reading The Help, I grew curious as to how my grandparents raised seven children without lots of help. I called my mother immediately to ask- wondering if there was some element of that story in our family history. Turns out, my mom and my aunties and uncles weren’t raised by African-American Southern domestic servants, […]
recipe dump: last week and this week
May 31, 2010
Happy Memorial Day! It’s still pouring rain and I’m still holed up inside… this time, propped up in my bed and surrounded by magazines and notebooks, trying to gain a little inspiration. So far, the only real thing that I’ve done today has been to plan out recipes for this week, riding on the successful […]
Day 7 of 30-day challenge: party tonight!
May 7, 2010
Yesterday’s class at the gym was a total joke compared to what I’ve been going through in hot yoga. In addition to only being a 50 minute class (actually, 47 mins), we didn’t do anything that required standing or balance and we spent at least five minutes massaging our faces. Then, during the dead body […]
