      • Food of Love
        01/22/07
        Those of us that have spent any amount of time watching Food Network shows have undoubtedly grown weary of Emmeril's Bams and his various other cliches. Like, "It's a food of love thing". (But, we forgive him because we remember the good old days when he was just this funny lit

      • BOXTY!!
        01/22/07
        I was on tour in the UK a couple of seasons ago & developed a special fondness for the thick "rasher" bacon they served up for breakfast over there. I looked for a local source in LA, figuring it'd be easy to find....not so easy. Trader Joes?...nope. Wild Goats?.....huh uh. Overp

      • I *heart* pasta.
        01/13/07
        I really do. I eat pasta most often of all the dishes I make at home. When it is really cold and gross out I will make Maultaschen soup with garlic bread, but its been unusually warm here, so that hasn't happened yet.

        In any case, I whipped up this quick and tasty pasta dish last nig

      • How old is 10 years?
        01/12/07
        I have in the last few years, really enjoyed scotch as an after-dinner drink. Something to enjoy while under a blanket watching a rented DVD of 'My Name Is Earl' or something else that is not available on TV here in Munich.
        During the SSWC'06 in Stockholm, we flew there thru Amst

      • Bon Voyage
        01/10/07
        As always happens, Betka's visit was filled to the brim with activities, so some of our plans have been postponed until next time. Though we wanted to get all adventurous and seek out little ceviche places around town, time constraints dictated that we just visit our old standby, Mario's

      • Dim Sum in the Valley
        01/08/07
        Way on back in the early 80s, my mom sparked my love of adventurous eating by giving me my first experiences with dim sum and sushi. All these years later, we still go out for dim sum on occasion, usually to Ocean Seafood in Chinatown.

        My mother is not usually found sitting at a comput

      • El Siete Mares
        01/07/07
        I currently have a song running through my head. To the tune of "Whatever Lola Wants"...

        Whatever Betka wants
        La la la
        Betka Gets...

        Madame wanted ceviche (she ALWAYS wants ceviche). We were headed downtown for some shopping and El Siete Mares was right on

      • Me Cook Pretty One Day
        01/07/07
        I just happened to be flipping across the channels the other morning and saw Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart's show. After I stopped clutching my stomach hard enough from my guffawing, I zipped to the PC to see if anyone had posted this cake segment on YouTube. The show itself has this truncated

      • What's the Meaning of This?
        01/06/07
        Ok, so it's late on a Saturday night, about 1:30. Betka went out with our friend, Amy but I was just too tired to join in the fun. Instead, I made some yummy yummy tomato soup* and watched the Simpsons on Tivo and I'm rounding out my night with some FoodBlog visits. (Is that lame? LOL)

      • Hungry Cat
        01/05/07
        Isn't she adorable? That's Betka. She's in town for some work and play and arrived in time to celebrate NYE.

        She had an appointment last night til nearly 10pm so our dinner had to wait until she got back. I consulted Chowhound for our late-night seafood options and one o

      • Believe the Hype
        01/02/07
        Bob's going on tour for a month so we figured a nice send-off was in order. Quinn and Ruben had already had lunch at Mario Batali's and Nancy Silverton's new venture, Mozza, a couple weeks ago and had great things to say about it, so we thought we'd brave the new restaurant insa

      • Summertime revisited
        01/02/07
        In summer in Munich, there are many 'beach party' clubs. Ibiza is a popular place to party for the young'ns (and some crazy old guys...) and due to the popularity of such vacation spots the Caipirinha has migrated over the Pacific to Europe as the 2nd most ordered drink here. (No way
