LINK: Acme Instant Food

In an attempt to overcompensate for my own lack of interestingness today, I bring you moundfuls of others who have something to say--but don't leave me for good! I promise tomorrow I will have stories to tell of greasy haired musicians who magically turn into chefs before your very eyes!

In the meantime, feast your eyes as well on: Acme Instant Food. I found this blog via his comment on The Delicious Life, and this guy just seemed like a person I would like, so I went to his blog and discovered gobs and gobs of amazing recipes. And I do like him! He works at a non-profit! And makes Madonna-themed Disco French Toast! And there are pictures of a dog with rye bread on its nose!

How many billable hours does looking at blogs count for?

Really?

Not even .2?

I'm sure what I have learned will help me with a case SOMEHOW.

KT--Forget about me, I want to hear about greasy-haired musicians turning into chefs! This isn't going to be like one of those stupid pictures that you have to stare cross-eyed at for three hours before a 3-D picture of a lame dinosour appears, is it?

Thanks for the very flattering post! I love Sarah (Delicious Life) and that was a fun entry. I'm making excellent use of my work day pouring through food blogs. In my defense, I'm leaving this weekend for a week-long business trip so I'm allowed some quiet time, right?

Thanks again for the kind words (wow, unsolicited comments are the BEST) and I look forward to reading your future posts.

No, no tricks about the musician--I'm not that cruel--just an item about an interesting article I read (well started to read--but didn't finish, hence no post), with recipe(!) that I would never have expected.

I think that reading food blogs is an excellent preparation for a business trip. Sort of like meditation, but more fun!

I like to use reading food blogs as a preparation for everything, including (but not limited to): driving to work, working, lunch break, starting work again after lunch break, driving home after work, working out, eating, and sleeping. I find it very helpful!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta
