This month Fork You does Thanksgiving! In this first episode, we brine, smoke and devour a 12-pound turkey. Let me tell you, it was delicious. If you’re looking for a brine recipe, here’s the one we used.
I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12 years old. My first pair had plastic blue frames that were so large that they included half my cheeks in their scope. When I was 15, after months of begging, I finally convinced my parents that I was in desperate need of contacts. For most of my [...]
My friend Jamie came over for lunch today with her 18-month-old daughter Ivy. They spent the morning at a music class for toddlers and headed over afterwards, wearing complimentary down coats and smelling like cold morning air. I put out an odd assortment of foods for them including smoked turkey and white bean soup, beet [...]
I’ve put this post off until the very last thing and unfortunately I seem to have spent most my mental energy on other writing tonight so there’s nothing but dregs left. I wouldn’t post, except for that pesky NaBloPoMo commitment. So here’s a picture of some yummy-looking fresh lettuces and a promise that tomorrow will [...]
The latest episode of Fork You has landed and let me tell you, it’s a good one. We filmed this one more than a month ago, in Jessie’s lovely carriage house apartment. We made two big pots of risotto that were both delicious (I could have gone swimming in the butternut squash one, [...]
About a week ago I came to the conclusion that I was done with roommates. I decided that no matter what it took, when January rolled around and my current roommate moved on, I was not going to replace him. I was ready to do whatever it took to ensure that I did not need [...]
I love the morning after we fall back out of daylight savings time. I love waking naturally and knowing that while my body believes that it’s one time, the rest of the world knows it to be a whole hour earlier. This morning, for the first time in weeks, I woke up without [...]
I have not moved since May of 2002, when I settled into my current apartment (which, if you’ve been following along for awhile will know has been in my family since 1966). During college I moved nearly every six months and always thought that I’d be the sort of person who’d live in several [...]
I had an amazingly fun time tonight and I didn’t even have to leave the comfort of my apartment. I played host to the first ever Philadelphia Food Blogger Potluck. I’m not sure what the exact count was tonight, but I’d guess there were around 20 people here. It was food bloggers, food vloggers and [...]
It might have been a little insane on my part, but I signed up to participate in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). This means that I’m committing to myself and the rest of the world that I’ll be posting something on this here site everyday throughout the month of November.
That’s on top of my posts [...]
