Happy New Year! Or as they say in China Happy New Year! (I translated for you since most of my readers don’t speak Chinese). It is my favorite of all Chinese holidays. (Okay, I don’t know any of the other holidays.) It is the year of the Dragon, the only legendary animal on the Chinese zodiac …

French Onion Soup Worth Yelling About
It is rich. It is warm. It is a little sweet and a little salty. Its depth of flavor will make you close your eyes in delight. And it can easily be found on menus but not necessarily what you want. (Okay, where am I going with this?) I am talking about French Onion Soup. …
Dropping the Ball on New Year’s Eve
One of my biggest challenges as a foodie is knowing my audience. I’m not talking about an audience like when I used to line up my stuffed animals and do stand up in front of them. (Betty Teddy never got my jokes.) I’m talking about making the right food for the people who will be …
I’m No Dummy, That Cannoli Is Inside Out
One of my resolutions this year is to entertain more. No, I’m not talking about entertaining like in song, dance or ventriloquism. (Because we all know ventriloquism is real craft that only can only be done by seasoned professionals. Did you see my lips move when I typed that? I didn’t think so!) I’m talking …
12 Days of Christmas: Poached Pears (Partridge Optional)
One more week until Christmas….Yipppeee! I am a big kid when it comes to this time of year. I love the lights, decorations and yes, the gifts! My husband is an awesome Santa and I’m not just buttering him up. (But in case that will work….have I ever mentioned that he is the most wonderful, …
Baking with Bacon….The Cupcake’s New Best Friend
‘Tis the season to bake or so that is what I am told but the big problem is that I really don’t enjoy baking. I may have tried out for Masterchef but I’m no Masterbaker! (I think that is a late night show on Cinemax.) I know my issue with baking is that you can’t …
Foodie Fun Day #4: Auditioning for Masterchef
Part of being a “foodie” is taking risks. Whether it is tasting an oddly named dish at a new restaurant or working to infuse new flavors, it is all a gamble on how it will turn out. This weekend I decided to take a risk, I tried out for a reality television show. The show …
Not a Common ‘Tater
I was out for lunch with one of my best friend’s (okay, it was my mom) and I overheard some people talking about their favorite common ‘taters. I wasn’t listening very closely but I thought it was interesting that they were having a whole conversation about potatoes. Being the overly social person that I am, …
Repurposed Turkey Soup
Thanksgiving is now behind us and I keep running across articles about “repurposing” your Thanksgiving dinner. This makes no sense to me. The purpose of the food is to feed you, right? So why can’t people just call the food exactly what it is…leftovers. Apparently, this is the new “buzz” word that I can’t stand. …
Thanksgiving Post #5: Brian’s Song
As Thanksgiving approaches, I get kind of sentimental about thinking of all of the people in my life that make me thankful. As I am going down my list, there is one name that sticks out, Brian. Who is Brian, you ask? Well to my brother in laws disappointment, I am not talking about him …
