Differences of taste are tricky ameliorate, let alone legislate. Take for example, The Breadcrumb Debacle.
Last week, with a renewed vigor for dishing out the best a food-forward life has to offer, Erin and I decided to cook dinner together in lieu of hitting up a neighborhood hotspot. I made vegetables and dessert; she [...]

Shame on Me (Part I)
I’m dating again. And I’m struck by how quickly I was able to repair my heart after how badly it was broken some months ago. I wouldn’t have thought I could feel so open, so ready for love and lust, quite so soon, but I guess that’s a tribute to time’s ability to heal hearts [...]

Crush-a-belle: Forever Po, by Erin
For the past four years in a row, my Man and I have been ringing in our “anniversary” at Po. No we’re not married (yet!), but we are staunch sentimentalists and love celebrating the anniversary of our first date, and if you must know, our very first kiss, which we shared [...]

Death of a Salesman
Mac is in sales. And he’s very good at what he does. A few weeks ago he closed a deal on what may have been the biggest sell of his life. After nearly one year of buttering ‘em up, then greasing the wheel, promising commitment, and pledging to stake his personal [...]

Market Report: Your Melon Moment
Imagine this: you’re at a stiff party, undoubtedly a little bored, and you notice someone striking standing across the room. He may also be bored, out of place, but he’s your kind of “out of place,” so you feel a sort of kinship to this odd man out. He’s Sean Penn at a Heritage Foundation [...]

Market Report: Timing is Everything
A few winters ago, I received a call from Marco, a friend of a friend who was in town from Spain, asking if I’d like to have dinner. Our mutual friend assured me that Marco was tall, dark and single, and that he loved to cook. Armed with ulterior motives and luscious memories of head-on [...]

I have not been honest with you.
Dear Reader,
I have a confession to make. I have not been honest with you, or more to the point, I have not told you the whole truth. I’ve been keeping secrets.
For the past seven months I’ve been running around town catering and cavorting, writing about my escapades in eating both real food and junk food, [...]

I left my heart in…
…San Francisco. Again.
This time it wasn’t the cowboys that captivated me, but the cows. Driving back from Napa en route to the Frisco airport on the last leg of my annual California journey, I rear-ended my rental when I found myself completely awe-stuck and staring out the passenger window at black & white striped cows.

Food, Inc.
Celest taught me to believe in box office ratings. She makes the argument that box office profits on opening weekends make a big impact on what sort of films get produced and released, and she spends her movie money accordingly. Obviously, the power of the purse persuades the powerful in Hollywood to make movies audiences [...]

Mr. Niceguy
I’ve been invited to a lot of A-list food events of late. So has Mr. Niceguy.
Over the past two years I’ve been posting on my blog at least once weekly, but it’s only in the past two months that I’ve been awarded entry at several hob-knobby foodie fêtes round town. Sometimes I’m directed to the [...]
