I am a Seattle anomaly. I do not drink coffee.
Even weirder was that I was once a barista.
I drink the occasional cup of coffee every now and again, but when I want a comforting hot drink, I go for a nice, velvety cup of hot chocolate.
Last winter I discovered a delightful variation on the [...]

I am breaking up with Grand Central Bakery
Posted in Reviews, So wrong, tagged Grand Central Bakery, Pioneer Square, Seattle on September 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I once dated this guy who loved art and literature, had a wicked sense of humor and was passionate about social justice issues. These are all great qualities. Too bad he was a total dick to me. It took me awhile, but I finally learned that someone who is interesting, smart and funny isn’t necessarily [...]

I’ve been out of commission the last few weeks with a nasty sinus infection so that’s why it’s been all quiet on the blog front. Here are some random bits of food news that I’ve been thinking about while I’ve been getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of fluids.
I possess what may be the [...]

Like a hurricane swept through my soul

Last week, my husband gave me some very bad news. After he told me, I had to lean against a wall for support. My face was ashen, and I couldn’t speak.
Liquor stores in Washington state have stopped carrying Ciclón.
Ciclón is Bacardi rum flavored with tequila and lime. It may sound gross, but it is DELICIOUS [...]

Posted in Food resolutions 2009, Savory, So wrong on January 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I decided to tackle three of my food resolutions and (hopefully) make some good food in the process.
When I did a roll call of the contents of my freezer, I discovered kielbasa among the frozen meats. And a thorough inspection of my cupboards brought forth (among other things) Zatarain’s rice mix.
These were the two [...]
When cakes go wrong
Posted in So wrong, Sweet, tagged Birthday cake, Cake Wrecks, Grand Theft Auto on December 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I recently attended a first birthday party where the cake read, “Happy 1th birthday!”
But this mistake is nothing compared to this completely NON-age appropriate cake for “Lil Derrick” that I saw on Cake Wrecks. This is for a 4-year-old!
Did they play pimp slap the donkey at this party?
This just seems wrong to me

Gingerbread men should not be married with kids.
I’ll have what’s she having

Gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson is the epitome of wholesome. Is she the victim of a clueless production team who made this commercial or a sly copywriter? Or do I have a sick mind? You be the judge. Thanks to Lynn for sending me this video (I think).

Two great tastes that DON’T taste great together
Posted in Reviews, Savory, So wrong, Travel, tagged Crown Burger, pastrami, Salt Lake City, Utah on August 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When I read about a cheeseburger topped with pastrami, I knew I had to visit a Crown Burgers location in Salt Lake City. I love both cheeseburgers and pastrami and was eager to try the two together.
Well, the title of this post probably gave it away, but alas, Crown Burgers’s signature sandwich didn’t live up [...]
