Hummus with Feta Cheese

March 22nd, 2011|4 Comments

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been conscious of the struggle for peace in the Middle East. As a kid seeing it, I never really understood what was going on. As I got older, I heard about peace talks, but they only seemed to result in more violence followed by another round of peace talks. Now it’s become such a constant thing that it seems as if war is a foregone conclusion. Have people just accepted war as the status quo?

Not Rachel Rays vodka sauce 600x400 Penne with Vodka Sauce

As the saying from our childhood goes, first comes love, then comes marriage, right. To that end, Rachel Ray has created a vodka sauce that she guarantees will get you engaged.

Roasted Fennel with Pine Nuts

February 21st, 2011|11 Comments

February is so hard for me. It’s far enough from January that I’ve already failed at all of my New Year’s resolutions and close enough to summer that I begin to realize I need to lose weight. I feel stuck in limbo. Besides being Black History Month, I also like to call February Vegetable Month — a month where I try to incorporate as many vegetables into my diet as possible and honor all the black people that make music videos, clubs and Chelsea Lately so much fun.

Stracciatella Soup with Veal Meatballs: Imagine going home to your Italian mother and telling her you’re going to marry the girl from the True Blue video, Debi Mazar. That’s what Italian farmer Gabriele Corcos had to do when he decided to marry the bitchy publicist from HBO’s Entourage. Like any Italian mother, Corcos’ mama’s main concern was how Mazar would wash, clothe and feed him. Just like she’s been doing for 30 years.

Scarpetta Spaghetti Sauce

Scarpetta Spaghetti Sauce 600x400 Scarpetta Spaghetti Sauce With all the sites such as Yelp, Menu Pages and CitySearch — not to mention apps like Urbanspoon — it’s pretty hard to gauge where to get the best restaurant reviews. Most of the time, the reviews are all over the place, making it really difficult to differentiate from a good restaurant and a bad restaurant.

Thank you for giving me a great year, but fuck you for giving those poor Haitians an earthquake, the Gulf another disaster and Charlie Sheen a bad hooker. (OK, so he probably brought that last one on himself.)

Shady Bitch Cookies

Shady Bitch Cookies

I have two cousins that make these amazing oatmeal cookies for me every time I see them. Normally, I don’t eat oatmeal cookies — but these are phenomenal: soft oats on the inside, crunchy oats on the outside and chocolate chips instead of raisins. I’ve asked them for the recipe many times, but each time I did, they wouldn’t utter a word. Curiously, they didn’t even say that they don’t share recipes. They were just completely silent.
