Squash, squash, squash!

October 21, 2009

This is truly a “Nothing but food porn” kind of post. Immediately after the post that I’d be making all kinds of updates for Vegan MoFo 2009 I was diagnosed with an apparently months old sinus infection.

Drop the Food Chatter

September 21, 2009

It has come to this. A need to rant to a public forum. My Zen community and Christie have already heard this rant a few times. Have you noticed my total absence of posts? Yes, there was the whole Hawaii trip during which no blogs were updated. There’s also the sewing of rakusu (which I […]

Egyptian Kushari

August 9, 2009

I was watching Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations: Cairo yesterday and he was waxing poetic about a super simple dish called “kushari” that is essentially Cario’s fast/comfort food. There are a few variations of kushari throughout the region, and I remember having this a number of times but not knowing what it was called–just remembering how […]

Balsamic Tempeh & Quinoa
