LINKS: Food Porn LA and I Hate Mayo


Recently, there was an article by Amy Scattergood in the Los Angeles Times about local food blogs. It was a good article, focused mainly on buzzworthy blogs The Knife and Eater LA. But included with the article was a sidebar of other local food blogs with a blurb on what they are about. Many of them were regular reads of mine, but some were new to me. Yay! More blogs that I do not have time to read!

One blurb caught my eye, proclaiming of Food Porn L.A.: "Launched in November, this is a photo-driven blog featuring commentary such as doughnut poetry and bacon-buying rants."

Doughnut poetry? Bacon-buying rants? Very intriguing. So I went to read it only to discover that I know the fabulous female behind this blog, and that said bacon (of ranting fame) was, along with it's blogger, a guest at my holiday brunch. I guess it was only a matter of time before I found myself in a room with another food blogger.


But wait! I had not one food blogging holiday guest, but two! Food Porn's lovely boy also has his own blog, called I Hate Mayo, wherein you can find accounts of cooking adventures that are entertaining and a wealth of information. This mayo-hater has mad cooking skills and is far more advanced than I am.

Hurray for food blogging friends!

So funny! I discovered "I Hate Mayo" just yesterday. As a staunch mayo hater I am required to LOVE them!

Such a small world, even in sprawled out LA. And we even live close to you, how weird is that? Do you think Buster will want to make Pici for all of us?

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

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...
