Penzeys Spices
Recently, on facebook, I mentioned making roasted chickpeas. It’s a simple idea, and quite popular even outside the food blogger world based on the abnormally large number of people who responded to me. But much of the discussion revolved around the spices– everyone had a favorite blend. There were several people who add sugar. Some [...]

I will miss my friends who are still in DC. I’ll miss free museums. I’ll miss Teddy Roosevelt Island, the woman who works at the amazing little Indian Place near the Crystal City water treatment place and the bus depot, and having a local Vietnamese shopping center. And a few places I still haven’t told [...]

One of the benefits of living in the DC Metro area has been the wealth of free things to do on the weekend. We’ve been trying to fill in the gaps these past few weeks, doing the things we hadn’t yet done while we’re still here. So we finally went on a tour of the [...]

Saving Money?
My mother raised me to grocery shop carefully. She was such a stickler for coupon use that she tells me that when I was very small, I thought coupons were REQUIRED to make a purchase. I was raised to comparison shop, to clip coupons, to be ultra-price-sensitive. Even so, this woman terrifies me: The tips [...]

Pie-cosahedron!
Taking a brief break from burgers, I bring you pie, plus math. Which usually ends up being pi, but isn’t here (click picture for instructable): If I were still at Smith, with access to the shop at Smith or Hampshire, I would be VERY tempted to make this.

Five Guys
This will be my first in a series on my favorite burgers. Burgers are all the hype. From Hubert Keller to former Top Cheftestants, really good burgers or sliders are gaining a place in fast food and haute cuisine. I like burgers. I mean, they don’t even have to actually be good for me to [...]

Plenty of people want to kill the president. This is pretty much just true, no matter which president in which country. The risk increases if you’re particularly unpopular or particularly popular, and it also increases if you’re in a hostile area. I have to assume that lots of people want to hurt Barack Obama, and [...]
