If I were a TV cook…

By E on July 3, 2010

(or a cookbook author for that matter), I could imagine myself delivering all number of clever little tips and tricks – as they do – to give people the idea that I sit around and think hard and long about what works and what doesn’t. For my (to die for) “caramelized brussel sprouts with pecan [...]

Gotcha!

By E on April 1, 2010

I was so annoyed when I blogged about Killer At Large last night that I forgot to mention one of my main irritations during the film. That was probably as it should be, because I needed to do a little research to confirm my suspicions, and now I have.
