Whew! So sorry for the radio silence. The last few days have been somewhat grueling—fun, exciting, challenging, but grueling. I’ve been in Birmingham, at Cooking Light HQ, making my television debut with two braising demos, one on FOX news at noon (which you can check out here . . . soon) and one in Tuscaloosa.
One of the […]
Well here it is, y’all. The Weekend Herb Blogging event that I’ve so been looking forward to hosting. We’ve got some serious lip-smacking winners here, so be sure to check them all out. Here we go:

I’ve been tagged twice as of late, and I have to admit, I’m flattered. Once by Mo at Paws and Pours and once by Bren at FlanBoyant Eats.

Here’s Bren’s tag . . . to bare seven random truths about myself and then tag seven more of my fellow bloggers (. . . I’m coming for you!). […]
It’s been reported that January 24th is the most depressing day of the year. It’s when your bills from the holidays show up, you still haven’t shed the extra pounds from Thanks-Chri-Han-New Years, the weather sucks (unless you’re lucky enough to live in the Southern hemisphere, as I know some of you are) and you’ve […]
Oftentimes, I’ll think about what to write in a post as I’m taking Noe to day care in the morning, pondering topics as we sing The Farmer in the Dell. But today, the decision was made as soon as I turned the corner onto Healdsburg Avenue. I gasped. I giggled. There was snow in the […]
I drove out to Point Reyes yesterday for three days of solitude with my computer, my printer, and my manuscript. I’ve been editing, editing, editing. Chopping, chopping, chopping. Winnowing, winnowing, winnowing. And it’s been ridiculously gorgeous outside while I’ve been staring at my computer screen. So I’m going to give a brief, albeit indulgent, description of where I […]
Today’s the day I’ve been dreading for quite some time. The FDA officially declared that meat and milk from the offspring of cloned animals is safe enough to for the shelves of America’s markets*.

Q: “I like to drink wine every night, but that means that I’m often left with a few bottles open at any given time. What’s the best way to keep them fresh, and how long will they keep?”
A: This question has come up quite a bit lately, so I thought it would be a good […]
Well here it is. I’ve been mulling it over and I think the best way to tackle this particular “review” is to just go head to head. Cyrus for my birthday. No-holds-barred home cooking Chez the Eloquent One (EO) for New Year’s. Here’s the skinny on the contestants . . .
Birthday/Christmas Dinner at CyrusFor those […]
Wow has this last week of the year flown by! I had intended to pop in after Christmas and write about our phenomenal meal at Cyrus. But then . . . Christopher and I went skiing instead. (BLISS!)
This morning I thought, today will be the day. I dropped Mom and Dad at the airport, Noe at […]
