A Very Average Holiday Special from Average Betty


Are finances a little tighter this holiday season? If so, Average Betty understands your budgetary pain and wants to help you have a festive meal in spite of the depressing economic state. In order to cheer you up, she's produced a video that features a recipe for the holidays, Creme Brulee, a def holiday rap music video (by Denny Blaze, a.k.a. The Average Homeboy) and the Creme Brulee dancer. Betty will have you dancing in your seat and craving a dish of Creme Brulee like nobody's business by the end of the episode.

Feast Your Eyes - Average Betty's apple oatmeal muffins

Ever since the election ended, I've felt a renewed sense of patriotism and hope for the future. It seems that I'm not the only one who's feeling such enthusiasm. Average Betty has been inspired by the country's recent democratic exercise and so has whipped up a batch of American as Apple Oatmeal Muffins. Full of fruit and fiber, these breakfast treats will fill you up with patriotic pride.

Thanks Average Betty, for adding your picture to the Slashfood Flickr pool.

Average Betty launches an interview series

And her first interview was with me! Last week, while I was out in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Average Betty at the Getty (a gorgeous museum in the hills overlooking the city). We talked about Slashfood, blogging, Fork You (the online cooking show I make with Scott) and Philadelphia food. She took my rambling answers and distilled it all down to a fun and concise 5 minute video.

If you haven't watched any of Betty's past videos, take some time to check them out. She has a particular way of combining food with quirky characters that is different from what anyone else out there is doing and it's really terrific!

Food Porn Daily: Baja-Ha fish taco

My friend Cindy is one of those great cooks, who is able to eat something in a restaurant and then figure out how to recreate it at home in such a way that it is always better and more perfect than the restaurant could have imagined. A couple of years ago, she invited me over to dinner and made up a batch of fish tacos, inspired by ones she had eaten at El Vez, a local high-end Mexican restaurant. We sat in her overgrown backyard, assembling taco after delicious taco from the platters of fish, toppings and sauce that she had constructed. We ate far past the point of satiation, as it just tasted so good.

Well, that's what the image you see above makes me think of, that night, sitting in a backyard, enjoying some perfect food and a good friend. The dish and pic is by Average Betty and there's not only a blog post with recipe, there's also a video that goes along with it (have you watched Average Betty before? She's fun).

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
