"Top" or "Favorite" lists are a tricky endeavor to begin with, as they're totally and absolutely - almost by definition - subjective. In fact, they change and shift with the maker's whims and habits, which means that the entries can change almost totally at random. It doesn't matter if you're making...

如果教育部的國語辭典給我來編，那本人定會設法在「得了便宜又賣乖」這個條目之下，塞進「壹周刊」三個字。 上個月的某一期壹周刊，訪問了一位自稱政大學生的援交妹「小愛」，披露她諸多秘事之後，再用訓導主任般教忠教孝的語氣數落她敗德淪喪。這樣的操作手法，壹周刊已經反覆運用不下百次，多數讀者想必也見怪不怪了；然而，我卻始終不習慣，也無法不生氣。 在妓權落後的國家，自然就會存在著踐踏性工作者尊嚴的媒體，這沒有什麼好「寒扣」的；只是，在大剌剌消費性工作者以生產閱聽商品的同時，卻又把砲口朝向這些替自家媒體生財的受訪人士口誅筆伐，不正是得了便宜又賣乖嗎？同樣是辦報辦雜誌，為什麼壹傳媒這一掛格外囂張？ 網路上已經有...
Yes, this is in answer to the first question posed by my first round of "Ready, Set, Cook!" It seems that when I posted those 3 ingredients, one of them was something not too many people have heard of. I'll admit, I take it for granted that I live in an area where almost anything necessary food-wise...

Your fortune cookie reads: The joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days. Life Path Compatibility: You...
My email and instant messaging program have been working overtime this past month, for fun and exciting reasons. Thanks to Sia over at The Lisa Ekus Group I've been having a great time organizing the first Round Table Review. What's that? Well 4 fellow food bloggers (Mike ofMel's Diner, Lis of La...
It does not cease to amaze me that the Myspace-dependent batch of teens are stil around. I had my peak of logging-on-every-other-minute-to-see-if-I-had-a-new-comment in 2005, I think, and this ate me up until about July 2007. I think that above everything else, I was a bit frustrated because I had...
Since I’ve got an abundance of squash in my garden, (or rather my fruit cellar as I had to rescue them before they were hit by frost) I’ve been making butternut squash soup every week. Recently Artizen Flair of artizenkitschen had a post about an amazing Garam Masala Pumpkin soup that was so...
The Summer of '92 hit me like a tsunami. I had just returned to Miami from San Diego, where I'd seen the woman who would become my wife for the first time in four years. Miami was as muggy as ever, and the grunge scene was tearing idle teenage minds apart faster than a pirhana in a bowl of...
I saw Girlyman in concert last night at Swallow Hill- great stuff. They're a fun folk band, complete with stunning three-part harmonies, baritone guitar, banjo, mandolin, and more. Coincidentally, when I added the Hold Steady song "Girls Like Status" to iTunes tonight, I noticed how many songs I...
Well, it’s here at long last—Superbowl Sunday--and the Food Network can finally move onto chocolate pornography in anticipation of Valentine’s Day and be done with tail-gaiting shows for a bit (though, in my none-too-humble opinion, both are infinitely preferable to the sanctimonious low-cal...
I try to cook from scratch as much as I can, since it’s much healthier for us, and it always tastes much better. However, I don’t go to the store every day, usually because I don’t have time. When I shop, I stock up on things that I know I use often, and keep a lot of useful food items in my...
I figured I'd add my 2 cents to the WWW Super Bowl Recipe collection ;) Super Bowl XL is being played this year in Detroit Michigan's Ford Field between the Seattle Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers. While I have always been a fan of the Steelers and a football fan in general, I haven't seen a...
Menu planning is a PIA…seriously. And I have a freaking thing to follow, but I’ve been sitting here trying to make sure I don’t like waste food. Since I need like ½ an apple here, or this much cooked chicken there. So I’m trying to make it easiest on myself…in the end it will be worth it,...
Potatoes have gotten a bad rap lately. It's no wonder, with all the no-carb/lo-carb diets that are going on, the potato has been shunned. I urge you to take a second look. These little spuds are not so bad for you after all. The potato story starts high in the Andes with the Inca Indians who were...
Deborah Dowd over at Play with Food tagged me with this meme and contrary to what she might think, I only have one refrigerator and a small one at that. We had a much larger one that was mega huge, but it died and this one was here, and completely usable, when we moved in. So, what does...
Sometimes I like to fly by the seat of my pants. No plans, no forethought. Just an idea and the faith that I can make it happen. Last Friday, I went out with friends to The Foundation, one my favored Vancouver eating spots. Vancouver is in the midst of a boil-water advisory due to all the insane...
We woke up tuesday feeling good and refreshed after sleeping in. While Kris got prepared to head out, I relaxed on the porch for a bit and looked over the courtyard. Kris was feeling good, obviously exited to get to the beach and attempt to rid herself of her perpetual whiteness. We broke out into...
i had a whole post and it spontaneously disappeared. argh. on the way to Williamsburg this morning, i really had to pee, so i took a detour at the Whole Foods in Union Square, only to be greeted with this when coming up from the train station. i'm not really sure what's going on here; is it a...
Stir-fries are probably the most common go-to dinner in this lil' apartment. Quick to cook, stir-fries are more than ideal for hot summertime kitchens, plus it's a healthy option and you can mix up the flavours and ingredients and always come up with something special. I know that some people find...
