I hope you’ve got your maracas handy, because you know what today is? Big Reveal Sunday! Fortunately, Big Reveal Sunday also coincides with Cinco de Mayo, which is incredibly handy since the two are actually a bit related. How boggled is your mind right now? I’ve alluded a couple of times on this blog (and on Facebook. And Twitter — what? I’m excited!) that I’ve been working on a fun foodie project on the side, and today I’m positively giddy to reveal that I’ve joined the team over at Joyus.com as one of their food hosts! Joyus is an online … Read More
Montell Jordan, baby face-stuffing and pre-weekend ramblings
Hey guys! It’s Friday! And you know what that means? “Thiiiiiiiiiis is how we dooooo iiiiiit…” Ok, that is how we’d do it if it were Friday night, and it’s Friday day — but you know what? Ain’t no thing. The little Montell Jordan radio station inside my head knows no time zone, people. In fact, I’ll confess right here and now that just about any time I hear the word Friday — no matter if it’s a Tuesday evening or a Sunday morning (easy like) — I’m pretty much having a This Is How We Do It dance party … Read More
Baked Tofu Banh Mi with Basil Lime Aioli
I began writing this post yesterday and then decided to postpone it after just a few paragraphs. In the wake of the tragedy in Boston, food writing — no matter how close it is to my heart — just seemed…trivial. On the somewhat bright side, humans constantly amaze me: for every cruel and villainous asshole in this world, there are a dozen more folks who are loving, generous and truly admirable. I love that. So now it’s Tuesday, and I suppose it’s still worth running down a brief weekend recap, even if it is a day late. Until Monday, the … Read More
Fashionable Eats: Catering “Rowe on the Road”
A couple months ago, I was chatting with Emily-Who’s-The-Mom (aka Emily-With-The-Baby or Emily-Who’s-In-Fashion) about a trunk show she’d be co-hosting featuring superbly-curated fashions from Rowe boutique in Columbus, OH. Long story short, Emily and I lived in OH at the same time when our husbands both held jobs with the same company out there. Now our husbands both have jobs with a different same company out here and we live a mile apart. And we have the same name. I know, it’s totally Twilight Zone. Anywhaaaaaay, Em used to buy for and manage Rowe, and because she’s uber close friends … Read More
Five-Spice Chicken & Green Bean Spring Rolls
It’s sharing Wednesday. Or maybe oversharing Wednesday, because Share Number One is… I’m no-pooing. If you know what that means, bless your heart. If not, it’s basically going without shampoo. But it’s not as bad the name implies. I’m just not washing my hair. Wait, does that sound worse? Let’s clarify: No-pooing is basically an all-natural way to cleanse and condition your hair and restore balance to your scalp for healthy, manageable hair sans chemicals, silicone, etc. There’s zero constipation involved — unless you’ve already got issues of your own, of course. Learn lots more about it here and here. And … Read More
