• Blogher food and meeting a few food bloggers (Slashfood)

  Jul 29th 2006 4:19PM First off, Nicole, lovely to meet you two. Secondly, as I just barely choked down 1/2 a veggie burger for lunch here at BlogHer, I have to agree about the food. Fairly disappointing, even for a hotel conference. Shoulda brought a stash of snacks!

• Not so secret Safeway (Slashfood)

  Jun 26th 2006 5:41PM Also in DC-- the Soviet Safeway--where the shelves were always empty.

• Top Chef Episode 9 recap (Slashfood)

  May 5th 2006 3:38PM Thank you, thank you for the recaps! I saw the first six episodes while on a JetBlue flight to NYC and got completely hooked, but don't have a TV at home so I've been wondering what happened. Sad to hear LeeAnne got canned, but happy that Harold's still there...

• Rachael Ray named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People (Slashfood)

  May 1st 2006 3:45PM Though cutesy and giggly anything can get on my nerves, I can't argue with someone who gets Americans into the kitchen, less scared of cooking and away from only pre-packaged foods. As much as I love Mario Batali, his cookbooks don't help you whip up dinner on a Wednesday night after a long day of work, and many ingredients can't be found in your neighborhood grocery. I like that she encourages people to feel free not to measure everything and realize that they can eat better on a more regular basis.

• Real kitchens: introducing an occasional series (Slashfood)

  Jan 7th 2006 9:15PM Hi there,
  Great idea--ideas from other real people, particularly apartment dwellers, would be helpful. I would love to participate in your real kitchens series--having spent serious time figuring out how to adapt my (rented) apartment kitchen with limited counterspace into both a useful and pleasant space (I'm still not quite there, but closer all the time :). I'm based in Los Angeles.
  
  Thanks, Erin

• Slashfood Ate (8): Worst things at Trader Joe's (Slashfood)

  Dec 14th 2005 2:33PM I too am a Trader Joe's lover. No, I don't like the produce, but for nearly everything else it's fantastic. The nuts/dried fruit--so good and cheap (the dried mango in particular). Juices--many all-fruit ones at much cheaper prices. The yogurt is great, the frozen salmon, the turkey meatballs, and their "breakfast bars"--this blueberry/appple/fig walks into a bar...these are so fruity and good, without high fructose corn syrup, mucho, mucho better and cheaper than the original nutrigrain bars. Long live TJs.

• Tater Tot casserole, the things we eat for love (Slashfood)

  Nov 21st 2005 3:11PM And I thought I was the only one with a significant other in love with tater tot casserole!! He too is under orders to make it only when I'm out of town. I think it's what sustained him thru his college years.
