      • Providence Tasting Menu Breakdown
        03/30/07
        OK, so my short term memory is shot! But I will do the best I can to recount the lovely meal that I had at what is often touted as being LA's best restaurant du jour:

        Amuse Bouche: Tiny mug of carrot soup with curry foam and a little side of seafood salad - muy yummy.

        I was in Sweden last summer for the Singlespeed World Championships. It was a disaster from the word go, but one good thing came out of it. We were in Gamla Stan (Old Town) and we were doing some late night wandering and bar hopping, when I came across the

        Growing up, my parents always had those cool retro bottles of seltzer in the fridge. There's a local company that delivers them right to your door. I tried that too, but I'd always forget to re-order or I wouldn't be ready for a pre-scheduled delivery.

      • Grocery Gamble
        03/07/07
        I am a sucker for:

        1) Ethnic grocery stores
        2) Eye-catching packaging
        3) Eye-catching packaging found in ethnic grocery stores

        So, I've created a new category here on Ham. Calling it "Grocery Gamble".

        I know I'm not alone. One of the

        I <3 Tastespotting. Interesting choice of title, since it (for me at least) undoubtedly conjurs up images of junkies and filthy toilets, but...

        Such a simple site, but it really grabs you by the eyeballs. Talk about a feast for your eyes! People submit lovely, appetizing photo

      • ...It's not easy being cheesy...
        03/04/07


        I love cheese! I can nibble away at ungodly amounts of cheese- let's just say I'm contributing to the bovine methane emissions problem one cow at a time. Yesterday, I got a vampire-like craving for cheese so I head over to Trader Joe's. They have a great selection, but I w

        03/03/07

        Ok, so, posting about my love of Japanese merch reminded me of a little shopping trip Christian and I took in Munich last year.

        I was visiting C and his wife and they were just wonderful hosts. Christian poured me a soda one day and, knowing how much I love iced beverages, he plunk

      • I Don't Know From Chile
        03/03/07
        I mean, not the spice (although my burn sensitive taste buds are notoriously sensitive), but the country. What do we know, really? I know of the brilliant poet Pablo Neruda and the author Isabel Allende. Oh yeah, there's that Pinochet guy too. So, I go to Wikipedia to hunt down more Chilean ref

        That ChubbyPanda is a lucky so-and-so. And, clearly he's got some excellent friends.

        <cough cough>

        The internet, she is a cruel mistress. Some days I feel like all I do is travel from one website to another, coveting, coveting, coveting. I was over at ChubbyPanda&

        Hello All,

        I'm new here and I am a self professed foodie- there.. I admitted it. I love good food in any form or at any altitude. Give me hospital food and I will critique it. Tonight I was chatting with Steen about, what else.. food, when I shared with her a much beloved

      • Oh, Really...
        03/02/07
        Now, those of us (in NYC at least) who feel as though we missed out on something great finally get to bask in the sterile glow of the Automat. Who knew. So, whattaya think? Will we see them popping up all over the country? Only time will tell.

      • Hollywood Classics
        03/02/07
        Two, count 'em, two meals out today. Not unheard of. Wednesday was more exotic: Indian in Artesia and Vietnamese in Garden Grove. But, truth be told, I was much more delighted with my two classic Hollywood meals du jour.

        One of my fave breakfasts (being the egg disenter that I am) is

        Way back in early February, I prepared Nancy Silverton's Bagna Cauda sandwich. As I mentioned in that post, I had a fair amount of the tasty anchovy/garlic goodness left over. The next day I prepared a simple lunch that really knocked my socks off. I've got to make more bagna cauda some

      • Too much time on their hands
        03/01/07
        I laughed aloud when I saw these Dharma Initiative food labels on the Insanely Great Tees site (followed a link from Brownie Points *thanks!*). The nice folks at IGT clearly have too much time on their hands, but since we all get to benefit from it, I'm not poo-pooing. They are providing prin

        03/01/07
        Man, I don't know what the hell happened. Bob's been back, I'm chipper, things are good, and still I've managed to neglect the Ham. For shame... I've been taking photos of meals still, but haven't posted regularly. Right now, I've got eight yet to post, though
