"Try it, you'll like it, don't hide it, don't fight it, just let it out…"

Dale Degroff’s The Craft of the Cocktail was the cause of one of my many gastronomic epiphanies years ago, particularly the one that had me tossing out plastic bottles of “sour mix” and “bloody mary mix” at 1:00am vowing to never again give them a home in my refrigerator door. No more, “just add alcohol” […]

"No caffeine, no protein, no booze or nicotine…"

by Katie Gomez September 18, 2009

You’ve gotta hand it to a book that claims it’s the “No-Diet Weight Loss Solution” and puts both a Big Mac and a Whopper on its front cover. It’s ridiculous, of course, and I grabbed it for no other reason than to make fun of it, but just like the car wreck by the side […]

"Anything you can do, I can do better…"

by Katie Gomez September 16, 2009

It began like it often does, with me being unable to refuse a challenge. I had been contacted by someone working for Mezzetta (a line of Italian-influenced products) and made aware of a sandwich recipe contest that they were running. The recipes, of course, had to use a Mezzetta product, and so she offered to […]

"Step right up and don't be shy, because you will not believe your eyes…"

If I were to mention “great actors” in conversation, you’d more likely think of someone like Robert Duvall than you would Steven Segal (or at least I’d hope so if you read this blog). If I say the words “cartoon character” you might immediately imagine Mickey Mouse, Homer Simpson or Bugs Bunny, but I can’t […]

"I've seen the lights go out on Broadway, I saw the Empire State laid low…"

Bakers and fishmongers, […]

"I've got this growl in my tummy, and I'm gonna stop it today…"

Interior Dialogue 1: If this doesn’t work out well, I’ll just delete the pics. No biggie. But I might as well take photos as I experiment, just in case this actually, you know, tastes any good. Interior Dialogue 2: You do realize that nobody’s home, right? You could just as easily scarf down a bag […]

“But time makes you bolder, children get older, and I’m getting older, too…”

by Katie Gomez September 3, 2009

When I turned 1 year old, the US was bombing the shit out of Hanoi, the Goodyear Blimp was flying for the first time, a gallon of gas cost 55¢, Bobby Fischer became the World Chess Champion and The Godfather was taking it to the mattresses. Today, I get to celebrate another first year, but […]
