Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
We had our 15th wedding anniversary this year. Our 20th first date anniversary is on the same day….awwwwww! On our actually anniversary we were in Montana not-camping with our son (we got thunderstormed out of our camping adventure). But I had already planned a weekend in San Francisco to celebrate our milestone anniversary. The special…
My husband and son both agree that Blue Bottle’s granola is the best anywhere. I don’t like granola, I’ll have to believe them. It’s become my challenge to make granola that is as good though. It’s always interesting to try to master a recipe for something I don’t like. I rely on feedback from my…
My 9-year-old son had a week after school was out that he didn’t have any sort of camp. It was the week immediately following school so we didn’t want to have to set an alarm or be anywhere specific any at any specific time. It should be a relaxing week. Still, the kid needs something…
Fifteen years ago today, spawned from a conversation with housemates over some really good food, FoodPorn.com was born. The concept took a little time to work out but we registered the domain on that day. We came up with categories and started creating content. Not long after the initial launch I created the Celebrities section…
I’m touching on old favorites this week it seems. When I go back to my old recipes though, I’ve updated them or at least made them a little prettier! Serves 2 1 lb Lingcod (it’s blue!!) Trim two nice little fillets out of the ling cod. Cutting out and discarding the bony area and trimming…
I’ve been making this dish for a while but sometimes I tweak it just a tad. This time I added some crispy salmon skin and I don’t know why I didn’t always do that! It’s salmon season here in the Monterey Bay and although it’s not like it was 10 years ago with salmon selling…
I am a noodle whore. A noodle addict. I love noodles. In any form, but especially from the general Asian part of the world and floating in pork-based broth. Ramen makes me so happy. For my 40th birthday, we waited nearly 2 hours for ramen at Orenchi and I was so thrilled to do it….
I’ve been wanting to go to Kin Khao since it opened in February. I’m a big fan of Pim’s cooking, I’ve been lucky enough to get some samples in classes I’ve taken from her. I knew this would be a good meal but it was even better than that. We have a lot of mediocre,…
I just made this and it’s yummy. 2 oz vodka 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz lemon verbena-infused simple syrup 5 dashes grapefruit bitters Shake well with ice. What’s it called?!
We had skirt steak…and we had lard. Instantly my mind went to grilling the skirt steak and making flour tortillas. We had all the ingredients for that. What we didn’t have was anything to go *on* the tacos. I forged ahead with the plan anyway while I rummaged through the fridge and cabinets. Here’s what…
A couple of weeks ago I was going through my freezer inventory (I finally wrote up a list and keep a clipboard on the chest freezer!) and picked out a whole rockfish to thaw. I pulled out my neighbor, Andrea Nguyen’s, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and found her recipe for hand rolls. The first night…
1108 Pacific Ave Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (831) 824-6100 assembleforfood.com As soon as it was announced that Assembly was taking reservations, I consulted our calendar and booked. I figured on a Wednesday night, it would be a nice break from the weekly grind, I’d take a night off from cooking dinner, and it would be…
120 Highlands Dr Carmel, CA 93923 (831) 622-5445 pacificsedge.com We got a cheap-cheap weekend deal at the Highlands Inn in Carmel and couldn’t pass up staying again. It’s such a beautiful property on my favorite stretch of coastline in the world. We’d eaten at Pacific’s Edge on another free stay at the Inn and had…
I was mentioned in Forbes Magazine today! I woke up this morning to a Twitter notice on my phone from the author, Cecilia Rodriguez, linking me to “Food Porn: Are You Ready To Take A Stand?”. I was pleasantly surprised, I haven’t been mentioned in major media in years. When I had time to actually…
There are huge chunks of the Bay Area that are completely unfamiliar to me. If I haven’t worked in the area, chances are I don’t know it. Case in point: Belmont. It is one hour from my house and I had to look on a map to find out where it was. So, when my…
