Watched HBO’s new show “Hung” last night and I snickered to myself quietly when Tanya, the poet/freelance proofreader played by Jane Adams, presents to her “I’m going to be a millionaire” class the idea of “lyric bread,” which consists of inserting inspirational verse into baked goods. She draws her inspiration from fortune cookies, and an [...]

Those of you who know me pretty well are probably sick of hearing me threaten no one in particular that I’m going to pack up and move to the West Coast again. ‘Christonastick, I thought she let that one go,’ reads the thought bubble from your head right now. “What about Portland?” I ask often [...]

From Demetri Martin’s show, “Person”: “I met many chocoholics, but I ain’t never seen no chocohol… We got an epidemic of people, people who love chocolate, who don’t understand the rules of word endings…They’re probably overworkahol-ed.” “Cakes are the only food we write on.

Something to look forward to: Adapting Jamie Oliver’s Lemon & Lime Cream Tart into bars. Perfect for the weather, and I’m hoping it’s like Sprite, but better. Also, headed to the Fancy Foods Show next week…but I want to go to the UnFancy Foods Show more. I have a habit of rooting for the underdog [...]
Achtung! German baked/fried goods

A “German Day” pub crawl took place Saturday. It was arranged by a friend who clearly didn’t foresee that we would suffer a great collective katzenjammer(n., hangover) after. Sunday was interesting for everyone. The itinerary began with Zum Schneider in Alphabet City at 1:30, to be followed by Loreley in Soho/LES area at 3:00, then [...]

And neither could those who bought the Tollhouse cookie tubes to open up the packaging, take their index finger, grab a gob of it, and stick in in their mouths. Chalk it up to manipulative food companies.
