"I've been a bad, bad girl…"

by Katie Gomez February 27, 2010

I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes laughing my ass off because companies that send out emailing list blasts and include me in there, obviously have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Consider this fair warning that if you find the blogosphere littered with posts this week about how awesome the Vintage Cellars […]

"Though she was born a long, long time ago, your mother should know…"

I’m going to go ahead and capitulate to the fact that certain pre-packaged foodstuffs have proven beneficial—hell, even advantageous—for the average consumer. Multi-sized containers of enumerable ice cream flavors that save me the trouble of having to make my own on a regular basis? Sweet. Dry, boxed pasta for when I don’t have the time […]

"Don't need to believe in hereafter, just believe in me…"

by Katie Gomez February 17, 2010

I’ve always been on the same page with Michael Jackson…the beer world’s Michael, not Neverland’s, though I have been caught singing Smooth Criminal once or twice.

Mole is one of those countless thousands of things that Americans have managed to oversimplify as it seeped its way into our mutt-like culture.

“It was hilarious,” I had told her. “My kid thought the whole tray of crackling was for him!” We laughed, talked about how crackling, when done right, is one of the most perfect foods…something I’d want for my last meal. “Crackling wrapped in bacon,” she joked, but we both knew we were half serious. “I’d […]

"Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder…"

I was supposed to take part in a Taste Live event a couple of weeks ago, but what with FedEx’s indefatigable determination to spend the rest of its pitiful existence cock blocking me (in a manner of speaking) and such, the bottles for the tasting didn’t arrive in time. I’d apologize to Elderton (whose wines […]

"Two can be as bad as one…"

by Katie Gomez February 2, 2010

So it appears I’ve got two requests of my readers today. Don’t get your panties in a bunch….it doesn’t involve waiting for me in the getaway car, smuggling in Cuban rum or even watching my kid for a night. These are two things you can do from the comfort of that crappy chair you are […]
