It did not escape me that The New York Times ran a column by Sam Sifton titled The Slow-Cooker, Redeemed shortly after my own In The Kitchen column on slow-cookers ran in the Packet. Now it’s clear, what I’ve suspected for years: they are following my columns and copying me! Guys, I know imitation is the sincerest … Continue reading

I was off to a good start with the vegetables last fall, but then, as the cold and dark closed in, I got lazy, and started hitting the carbs more instead. Bad … Continue reading
Twitter is aflutter with amusing tweets about stocking up with groceries for the coming storm. Are you ready for Snowmageddon? What are your favorite things to eat or drink during a blizzard?
