If you see me out and about on the internets, you may well find that I've posted many a comment on healthy eating websites, nudging the writers there to drop the phrase "obesity epidemic." Any long-time reader here knows that I'm concerned about the focus...

The Food Desert Project: Pecan-Date Tassies -

Quips, Travails and Braised Oxtails 11/21/12 17:04
It's pie season again! Sadly, I am a bit under the weather, so my usual plethora of pies won't be happening this year - so I decided I would make up in quantity what I can't do in variety. Tassies (possibly an Anglicization of the French word for cup, "tasse")...

Quips, Travails and Braised Oxtails 10/21/12 16:03
