EVENT: Great American Bake Sale

Share our Strength, an organization that works to end childhood hunger in America and the organization that put on the recent Taste of the Nation event, is bringing you a new way to contribute to the cause.

The Great American Bake Sale is a campaign to get people to host bake sales in their community to raise money to aid children at risk of hunger.

This is a way to contribute for those of us who may not have $100 to pay for a food festival, but may be rich in friends and neighbors who like to eat (and who doesn't, really?)

If you love to bake, or know people that do, please visit the Great American Bake Sale website for details on how you can organize your own bake sale, or how you can find a bake sale to attend, or even how you can contribute to someone else's bake sale.

Thanx dude, I love comments! I have to admit that this most wasn't super interesting, just a good cause. I'm working on one now that I hope is fun-filled.

I'm not sure on the profile views - do I really have that many? I don't know why ... my profile's not that interesting. Maybe it's because I am so beautiful, people just want to stare at my little picture.

Are you having a bake sale? I went to the site and followed a few links and they didn't offer up any bake sales where I could contribute.

Hey KT,

Sorry no comments last month. I got married (yay!), my wife got laid off (boo!), and my company is downsizing (boo!). It's been hectic. Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten you.

Madame X: Alas, I am not having a bake sale, but I will post the deets on one you can contribute to. And more posts coming after that ... with explanation re: no posting.

Chubby: YAY! Congratulations to you! On the wedding that is, not the layoff. I hope this means your wife gets to find her dream job! I missed ya!

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...

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...

INFO+RECIPE: Isaac Brock: Rock Musician, Chef

MODEST MOUSE Modest Mouse is not my favorite band. It is one of those bands that everyone around me loves and I am overwhelmingly indifferent to. I can think of one song of theirs that I like. I saw them live one time and came away with the impression that I like the music, the vocals just leave a lot to be desired. That vocalist is Isaac Brock. Isaac Brock has never come off as a nice person to me, when reading his interviews about music. I'd basically written him off as a bad vocalist, and arrogant twat. Then, I read an interview with him in the Believer . The interview was not about music, it was about food, and cooking. And I was shocked. It was like I was reading about a whole different person. A person I liked and wanted to know. A person like me. I discovered that he was born a mere two days before me. If astrology has anything to say about it, then he probably IS a person like me. Not quite the same ... that two days mak...
