This could have been a Thank You Thursday and Foto Friday all in one, but the alternate title for this picture was “Why Tracy and Peter spent Thursday night in food coma mode,” so…. Yeah. Also: Mmmmm.

Cheesesteaks. Nom.

I mean, that is just so much win!

A Thank You Thursday recipe 12 January 2012 8:12 pm

Today I would like to thank my brother Piett for digging up the booklet of recipes that came with the Cuisinart ice cream machine which we recently passed on to him after replacing it with a KitchenAid attachment (yay more shelf space and a corrollary thank-you to our parents for both those gadgets, whee!) The recipes that came with the new toy look good, but kinda fancy: egg yolks and cookery and whatnot. None of them have quite the exquisite simplicity of the concoction which this post immortalizes for availability when and wherever I have intertweetplusface access, yay! Also, because this would hardly feel like a proper blog post without a bit of linkage, here’s what the New York Times food section had to say about eggless ice creams a year and a half ago (hint: good stuff, and I should try that berry recipe some time!) Ok, enough introduction, on with the treats! (more…)

So I got into the Thanksgiving spirit early with my epistolography yesterday, and I’ve got a few extra gratitude-themed posts planned for later this week (one of which is foreshadowed by a high-larious comic hidden in a link in this very entry!)

I feel like I’m turning into the NaBloPoMo homestretch, and that means I have to be extra-bonus careful not to fall into complacency, especially at the end of this week when I’ll be all distracted by holiday family action. Today I have been all distracted in general but a highlight of that distraction was that I now know I can make pierogies! This changes everything! Ok, not really, but (more…)

So last month, Keith Knight (about whom I have fangirled out before on this very blog) reminded me why I don’t eat shark anymore:

I’ve actually been meaning to write something about this for more than a year, ever since (warning: link has some very sad before-and-after pictures of a shark killed for food) a post I saw via The Atlantic‘s now-defunct food blog inspired me to draft a response saying “It’s a no-brainer, really: (more…)
