The slow death of Foodyi is killing me too. Suddenly I’ve lost that perspective that allows me to write whatever I feel (grammatical errors and all), whatever I want to say out loud without seeming consequences. But now that it has some bearing on my “professional” (and it has.. Brad if you’re reading this…hi) life, [...]

Nothing, really.
So that whole waking up and your muscles are completely sore and feeling like blood has circulated in a full rotation throughout your body for the first time feeling? Ya, that still happens every morning. Except, now my hands looks like I’ve been dipping them in a bag of knives every day and my knees [...]

Status Update
I’ve cooked for over a decade, yet the manner in which I’ve been cooking for the past few months has put a whole new perspective on what it means to cook. I couldn’t have said it any better than Harold McGee when he said, “the great virtue of the cook’s time-tested, thought-less recipes is that [...]

I’ve abandoned my blog for awhile now, I know. And I’m blaming it on my lack of camera for the past month or so. I absentmindedly left it in LA, and I’ve been draining its remaining power ever since. I finally got a clunky replacement from overstock.com, so I’m back! But alas, with no pictures [...]

25 Things
I lost my battery charger for my camera and so I haven’t had any pictures to complement my thoughts on food. And being that the world is currently in an A.D.D. state of mind, this doesn’t make for good blog posting. So, I’m re-purposing my “25 things” list from Facebook. Unless your name rhymes with [...]

It’s probably the least funniest thing. When an object is phallic or is likened to something completely absurd/inappropriate/provoking in a disturbing way, it usually invokes several giggles around the table. No dish will make you laugh, maybe cry, smile, or vomit, but not laugh. I mean really, I think the Jack-o-latern wins at being the funniest food. And we all know how not funny [...]

Good day.
A public apology to Mr. Brogden, English teacher extraordinaire at Hoover High School, for never paying attention because I was too busy trying to sneak Flamin Hot Cheetos into my mouth while you emphatically read us Romeo & Juliet in your weirdly British but not quite British accent. Let it be known, New York City [...]
