LINKS: Chubby Panda, Cakegrrl, Harold McGee, Yahoo! Food

Gah! I have been sooo busy the last couple days. Damn that work. It always gets in the way of blogging. Anyway, I thought I would take an opportunity to pimp out some links I have gathered recently.


First is Chubbypanda - The Epicurious Wanderer. Chubby is an OC foodblogger who recently wandered onto my radar and I have been enjoying his posts about OC restaurants, Chinese cooking and Chowhound board nazis.


Next up is Cakegrrl, a Sacramento foodblogger I discovered through Garrett. Ms. Cakegrrl posts about her life, recipes and Sacramento stuff.

And then there is my food boyfriend, Harold McGee, author of "On Food and Cooking," a comprehensive book on food and food science that explains pretty much everything about everything we eat. And he has a blog! On his blog he basically takes science-y journal articles and explain them in language that stupid-asses like me can understand. I love you, Harold McGee!

Finally, Yahoo! Food has launched. It's a little overwhelming and shiny for me, and I'm not quite sure what it's all about yet ... is it just recipes? Is there more? I don't think I have room for another of these sites in my repertoire. I generally go to Epicurious for this sort of thing, and then chow.com gets any overflow. But hey, I guess you can never have too many recipe sources, right?

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: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

LA.FOODBLOGGING: Groundworks Coffee

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute. From now on most of my Los Angeles centered posts will be done there, and linked to from here, in order to avoid duplication. My first post is on my morningtime friend, Groundwork Coffee (as promised to Jeremy and my sweet Auntie). You can read it here: I'll Have the Works . Tags: LA.FOODBLOGGING
