My friend Croque has finally convinced her husband to get a dawg. They pick up the treasure tomorrow afternoon, and I want to be the first to welcome him to his new and wonderful life with the loveliest of families! I love you, Hugo! (Name pending husband approval.)
A special day.

I granted myself permission to postpone an important day for a week so that I could give it its proper due, since I was out of town last week. Alas, I still have not gotten my act together enough to do anything beyond announcing to the blogosphere that a week ago today, Croquette celebrated her [...]
High school musical.

Last night, my brother and I went to see my high school friend Michael’s band, Stepanian, play at the Bitter End in Manhattan. Actually, the band’s bassist and I have been friends since we were babies; we used to carpool to preschool, and I have very distinct memories of climbing the stairs to his second-floor [...]
A stab in the dark.

There was a stabbing over the weekend at a party in my sophomore-year dorm. I never understood why UMass students would come all the way to Amherst for a party (unless they were invited, that is). I would imagine UMass threw many more — and better — parties than we did. And it’s kind of [...]
Pork on pork. On pork.

The Times wrote the other day about a blog-food phenomenon: the Bacon Explosion. Apparently, a bizarre recipe of pork sausage stuffed with and wrapped in bacon has been passed around the Internets, mostly because it’s just such a ludicrous thing to make or eat. It reminds me of Pig Roast 2008, when the morning after [...]
Life is a super bowl of cherries.

The Croquer beat me to it, and she’s going to be hard to beat. She’s already posted her results of our Super Bowl Cupcake Showdown, and so far, her performance, well, takes the cake. Let’s see how I measure up. I was nervous about these cupcakes. Peanut Butter and Julie won a recent Food Network [...]
Bring it on, cupcake.

Announcing the first annual Superbowl Cupcake Showdown. Croque Madame is making Red Cardinal Velvet cakes, to compete with my Double Chocolate Malt Shop Cupcakes With Cherry Vanilla Buttercream. My cupcakes are done, so it’s left to the Croquester to see if she can top them. I have my doubts. These things are pretty phenomenal. The [...]
There’s a party tonight.

Off we go to a party in Williamsburg, which is one of my least favorite places to travel to and especially to walk around alone in, but luckily tonight I’ll be accompanied by my loyal companion (blog coming soon, he promises), and he lives on the G train, which is really the only reasonable way [...]
Read this thing.

I would like to announce another worthy reading destination, certainly one of the best blogs the tubes have to offer. It is Gastro-Politico, and while it hasn’t been updated in a devastatingly long time, its author is on the edge of a move to London, which should bring some pretty amazing stories about the intersections [...]
