Laying Low?
So I told a friend on Friday that I was "laying fairy low" this weekend. He replied, "why do I think ‘laying fairly low’ for you means only going out for dinners and brunches this weekend?" He wasn’t too far off base. I went out for dinner at Bellavitae on Friday night with Eric and

The Pig Out and Other Festivities
The Chance house was jam-packed this weekend, but luckily, it was jam-packed with some fun folks. As usual, we ate well, danced up a storm, and sang at the top of our lungs. And even though we broke some of NY Mag’s rules for how to keep your housemates from hating you (Kelly Clarkson, anyone?)*,

Nothing Says “I Love the USA” Like a Pig Roast
After last night’s wonderful picnic dinner and Shakespeare in the Park, I wearily came home to pack. I’m off to Kismet for the long weekend, and in honor of the holiday, we’re roasting a pig. John purchased a Caja China, I’ve packed my recipes from my pig-roasting class (hoping that I can translate from a

Return from the Beach
Sigh. It’s not easy to come back from sun and fun filled weekend in Kismet. Especially when you’ve only got one final week (albeit a short one) to go at your current job before a two week vacation.

My Life is Kind of Bizarro Sometimes
Why? Because last night, I got to hang out with Rick Field of Rick’s Picks and his dog Lefty and help him make pickled ramps in his Brooklyn apartment. Afterwards, we went for sushi (because what’s better after making pickled ramps?). Full story to come on Gothamist Food. Other than that it has been a

Everyone Should Have Goals in Life
Especially the foodies. [via Kottke] Thanks to everyone who came to help celebrate last night — any celebration that ends up at Pearl Oyster Bar is a good one, in my book. I returned home to find that the Neighborhoodie t-shirt I ordered had arrived. It looks good, but the lettering looks a little wrinkly

As Tom Petty Says
The waiting is the hardest part. Thank you all for your luck and good thoughts yesterday. I’ll keep you posted. But in the meantime, I’ll tell you about the rest of yesterday, as there was some good food involved. Since I happened to be on the East Side, I stopped by Pampano’s taqueria on the

Austin Report
Made it back safely from Austin and the conference — three days full of schmoozing and eating, although I didn’t get to see much of the city, unfortunately. Strangely enough, I also didn’t really take any pictures, even of the food. Not really sure why. I arrived late on Wednesday night and had delicious pork

Explanations: Why I Am the Way I Am
In case anyone out there was wondering why, despite the fact that I live alone, there’s enough food in my cabinets and freezer to feed me for a month, take a look at my family’s cabinets. I’m convinced that if my dad and stepmother were trapped for three months in their house, between the cabinets

I Heart Swine
Who can resist bacon bandaids? Certainly not me. [via The Food Section]
