I woke up this morning with the most intense craving for a gigantic blueberry muffin. You know, one of those sugar-crusted monstrosities from Costco that’s packed to bursting with fat blueberries. Those things are so bad for you, but they’re so delicious! They’re really just dessert masquerading as breakfast. (Which is fine by me —…read more »

Meatball Sub
Looks like Hurricane Irene is the new Snowpocalypse — everything is closed, traffic has ground to a halt, and everyone is holed up in their homes. The only difference, I guess, is that we’re actually prepared to battle the forces of nature this time around. Maybe a little too prepared. BJ’s was a mad house…read more »
Goat Cheese and Colby Jack Sandwich with Kimchi, Spinach, and a Runny Egg
Guys, I just had the greatest sandwich ever for lunch — wheat toast, two kinds of melted cheese, spinach, kimchi, and a runny egg. So messy, so flavorful, so amazingly delicious. I’ve learned from reading my friend Sam’s food blog this year that a runny egg makes everything extra delicious. And, as everyone knows, kimchi…read more »
Cayenne-Cinnamon Baby Back Ribs
Whoa, two posts in one day, what’s going on??? Unemployment, that’s what. No, I wasn’t fired. And no, I wasn’t laid off. My judicial clerkship ended yesterday. Can you believe how quickly a whole year passed? It’s been over a year since I graduated law school, one year since I took the bar exam, and…read more »
Dan in the Kitchen — Creamed Spinach
Dan’s back in the kitchen folks, and this time he’s making creamed spinach for a cozy little dinner party. As my “sous-chef”, he technically had a hand in every other dish served — shredding cheese for the mac n’ cheese, mashing potatoes for the garlic mashed potatoes, etc. — but this was the dish that…read more »
Dan in the Kitchen — Grilled Cream Cheese and Colby Jack Sandwich
So, I’d like to introduce a new series of posts called “Dan in the Kitchen,” where I document Dan’s forays into the kitchen. I figure since I’m not always in the mood to cook, but we still need to eat, everyone would benefit from Dan gaining some cooking skills. Until we moved in together, pretty…read more »
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
(All pictures in this post were taken by Alex Hsu.) A few weeks ago, right after my Japanese-Style Strawberry Shortcake post, I got a message from my friend Alex asking if I would cook him delicious food for his birthday. He lives in Jersey City and I live in VA, so my first instinct was…read more »
Peanut Butter Cream Pie
Last Sunday, food blogger Jennifer Perillo’s husband suffered a massive and unexpected heart attack and passed away. He loved peanut butter cream pie, and as a tribute to him, Jennifer asked everyone to join her in celebrating his life and honoring his memory by making the dessert he loved so much. I have never met…read more »
Loco Moco
Two of my college friends got married in Hawaii recently. (I know. So jealous.) Sadly, I wasn’t invited to the wedding — ahem, Sonia — but I’ve been facebook stalking the photo albums of the people who went, so it kind of feels like I was there too. Note to self: must go to Hawaii soon….read more »
Cheesy Creamy Shrimp Spaghetti
So, it’s been a while since my last post, huh? Yeah. Things have been a little hectic around here. So, unsurprisingly, Dan and I have been doing a whole lot of Chinese delivery-ing, and very little cooking. I made fried chicken last weekend for my friend Alex’s birthday in NY, but…all the pictures are on…read more »
