Chef wants the bottom left-hand corner.

The tentative vegetarianism of my youth was more a comment on my ability to get grossed out than any socio-political commitment. Another reason, one that still stays with me, is that I don’t want to benefit from or wallow in another living being’s pain (save your healthy dose of schadenfreude). I love bacon, [...]
I ate fish for dinner last night.
I’m not sure how much 1200 grains of rice actually is once it’s heaped all together in a bowl, but this little vocabulary game purports to donate 20 grains of rice for every correct vocabulary word. Bonus: it doesn’t time you, so if you don’t know the word you can still look it [...]
E’s a little bummed about being away for Thanksgiving, so I made some pumpkin bread tonight to take with him over the holiday. I 1 1/2-ed the spices in the recipe, and take it from us: this recipe rules.

CHOW magazine used to be carried at one of Chef’s favorite magazine vendors, but inexplicably disappeared from the shelves awhile back. We were very sad.
Imagine how excited he’ll be to know that his schnookums got a mention on the CHOW blog for a bitchy aside I made because I’m bitter that I’m denied real [...]
Hell Day 2, With Soup Dribbling Down Numb Chin
Published August 15th, 2007 in Chef, Complaints Dept., Food and Health. 13 CommentsGoddamn if one of my favorite things to do in life is eat and I can’t even do that. How long will this hell go on? I’ve been living on tea, pudding, and cup-a-soup for two days now and I’m getting more than cranky. Whiny, even. Bitchy is in my character, [...]
I picked one lone Cherry Bomb from the plant a few days ago, and tonight it became part of a delicious curry. Two hours later my lips and fingertips are still burning. I eagerly await the habaneros.
My three zucchini plants, usually the first things in the garden to produce edible fruit, have yet [...]
Several of the ladies at work are enamored with the idea of living with a chef and perceive me to be more cultured than they if I eat something like hummus and pitas for lunch. Yeah, it’s pretty great, and yeah, I eat very well, but it also means I get tortured with lots [...]
