Samer, Exposed Again

Samer's featured at the DCist show again this year, so save the date (March 7, opening reception, 7-9 pm).

Even better, Samer's entry is featured on the show's official poster.

I Have a Restraining Order -- and I Know How To Use It!

A set of fake steak knives for any peep who can name one person in this picture.

I Know What You Did Last Summer, Finally

Huge backlog over at the Chron must be the reason they are only now printing Nicole's 2007 summer essay about cooking in her brother's tiny Greek apartment.

Anyway, we love the bit about cooking in the sink. Yes, the sink.

Vegan Valentine's Day

Turns out it falls on the same day as that other one this year. But this year we have a bunch o' new recipes from almost-vegan Nicole, via NPR. The Chocolate chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream (air quotes here) sounds mighty good, in case anybody cares what I think.
