Food Gawker won again…
It has this way of sucking me in. I’m addicted… I can’t help it.
I was on earlier this week — drooling over the food porn and looking for something interesting to cook, when I came upon something that stopped me in my tracks. It was a particularly chilly day, so when my eyes landed...
Happy Halloween!
These are Martha Stewart’s “Creepcakes“. I made them for my son’s birthday party 2 years ago. I thought I would share the image (from the MS website) b/c they were so much fun to make and everyone loved them!
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Blogging By Mail is a fun event that a fellow food blogger devised last year. Basically, food bloggers from all over the globe provide their name, address, food likes and dislikes and are then given another food blogger’s same info.

Masa Mia!
In case you haven’t heard… I quit my job about 2 weeks ago. It was time… and things have been going well ever since. However, my “dining out” budget has seriously dwindled (hence the lack of DN’s and GNO’s)… so I am trying to focus on some places where...

I just got tagged by The Boston Foodie with a chocolate meme. Don’t know what a meme is? Click here to read one fellow blogger’s explanation.

We are boycotting Thai Spice in W. Roxbury
We love Thai Spice, really… we do. So do most folks in this area, as their portions are always huge, their ingredients fresh and their food is delicious. We love them even more… because the deliver. Alas, it may have been their “delivery skills” that has put the nail in the coffin...
