  Nevermind that it has been more than three years since I've updated this blog, I had bigger, badder, biking things to do in the interim.  Long story short, I quit my BigLaw job in Washington DC, biked all of Mexico, and now live the good life in...

  The craze of korean tacos swept from Las Angeles with the Kogi truck (http://kogibbq.com/category/menu/) to Washington D.C. with the Takorean truck (http://takorean.com/menu/).  So, at my latest foodie party which just happened to be a Kore...
• Cup-Pakes Make Good Bribes
  on Mar 2, 2011 in Purple Raspberry Dark Chocolate Cup-Pake with Raspberry Buttercream Frosting
  My friend Phil is the pake-master.  By this, I mean, he introduced to me the entire concept of a pake, a pie baked into a cake.  A pake is basically pared down cherpumple, which originally a three-layer cake with an entire pie baked in...
• Pork, the Other White Meat
  on Feb 24, 2011 in Broccoli Slaw Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin

• Sneak Attack Tomatos
  on Aug 16, 2010 in Marinara Sauce
  A good friend of mine has a garden plot which is producing tomatos like crazy right now.  I've never viewed an abundance of tomatos as a problem, as they can be dried, canned, and otherwise turned into deliciousness with very little work. ...
• Getting Creative With My CSA, The Eggplant Diaries
  on Aug 2, 2010 in Baba Ghanoush
  I rarely buy eggplants.  I just don't know what to do with them half the time.  The other half of the time I panic over the amount of oil they absorb when sauteeing.  My CSA crate has brought me several eggplants and forced me to move...
