Twitter is a wonderful place.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. One of my big pushes for 2009 and continuing into 2010 has been to really get to know the people who make the food I eat.  The farmers markets in Kansas City make that very easy to do with produce, less […]

Okay, the final bell has run (yes, like two weeks I go, sorry, I’m lame) and a winner was chosen.  At this point, I feel pretty safe in assuming you already know it was Michael Voltaggio who won. Anyway, this marks the final Fantasy Top Chef Report For season 6.  So we need to finish […]

Today for lunch BWD, Jr. was given an option for where to go for lunch/brunch.  The Farmhouse and Blanc Burgers + Bottles. He was told he could get eggs and ham and toast at The Farmhouse or hamburgers at Blanc Burgers.  His question in his four year old drawl: “Do they have french fries at […]

Jennifer, that’s @savorthethyme is the greatest #tastemaker ever. That is all.

Okay, we’re back with another Fantasy Top Chef update.  This is the second to last one for this season.  I know I’ll miss it.  But anyway, let’s see those standings.  (By the way, this represents two weeks since I forgot to update last week.) Me: 26 Michele: 23 Josh: 18 Karen: 16 Debbie: 13 Colleen: […]

As I said last time, if you are like me, you’re probably still pretty tired of turkey leftovers.  So, here’s another recipe for what you can do with your turkey to fix a meal that lets you escape from the same flavors you’ve been eating for the last four days! Yes, that means it’s time […]

Give […]

(Please note: I have made the executive decision to not begin this blog post with the lyrics to a song that is in anyway related to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”  Nor will I, at any point in time, add them to this post.  You can now feel safe to read on.) That’s right: Nigella […]

Thanksgiving in the pinnacle of culinary holidays. For one day, it is every American’s duty to stuff themselves silly with all the food they can eat. There’s only one small problem: making Thanksgiving cooking can be stressful!  There’s so much to worry about: How can I keep the turkey moist? Do I baste? What are […]

I am desperately hoping that tonight we will be treated to another real episode of Top Chef.  Not that I disliked seeing Karla, Casey, and C.J. again, but I am ready for some real Top Chef.  You hear that Bravo? Per last week, my knockout pick is still Kevin and if Robin is knocked out, […]
