Attention BlogHer attendees: Did you know that San Francisco has an OCEAN? Sure, you got to drink champagne among shoes and purses and schmooze with personal shoppers whose services you will never be able to afford (was that just me?), but you didn’t see the ocean.
Fortunately, I’m still here in California, and my [...]
So I'm a little bit behind in my food posts as things were a bit hectic this past week.We had a really good, albeit short, trip to St. Louis. My dad's graduation ceremony was held at the Missouri History Museum. It was a lovely ceremony with a good keynote speaker. It was also really nice to see my grandparents from Houston, we don't get to see them enough. After the ceremony, we had a nice lunch
I was initially very wary of using veggies like asparagus in Mexican food as it didn't seem very 'authentic'. Well, I've quickly gotten over that because many ingredients, whether authentic or not, can be turned into yummy Mexican-inspired meals with the right flavor combination.Wanting to enjoy the abundance of fresh, local, organic asparagus we've been getting from our CSA, I came up with these
I pulled this recipe out of a magazine and held on to it for a long time. Thinking about it later, I'm not sure why. I love burritos, yes. But burritos with mushrooms and spinach? What was I thinking?My older self must have known something my recent self didn't, because I could hug old me. These burritos, as weird as they are, are scrumptious. Filling and delicious and HEALTHY! How many burritos can claim that? And quick-to-make! I got home and 20ish minutes later, Dave and I were chowing down on burritos with spinach in them. Crazy!For whatever reason, I couldn't find green salsa at the store or they were out, but I didn't get it. We had lots of jars of salsa in the fridge already, so I dumped in some of a couple. Please feel free to use whatever salsa your heart desires. This is a perfec
The Showbuzz has footage of Ciara serving up free McSkillet burritos and signs autographs to celebrate McDonald's 50th Anniversary Restaurant in downtown Chicago. They spoke with the singer and McDonald's rep Neil Golden about the promotion. Watch th
Hey - remember that little tirade I went on last week, about the sick cows and the bad people that cut them up and fed them to our schoolchildren? I mentioned that I had already sent an email to our superintendent voicing my concerns and essentially demanding to know precisely what cow part was in which box of meat and exactly which school's freezer that cheeseburger was sitting in. I wanted to
A few nights ago I was watching the evening news, and sandwiched in between the stories about Britney Spears' current meltdown and the latest fad diet (it's tea!) was a hidden-camera report about a California slaughterhouse being investigated for using inhumane methods to get sick cattle past inspectors. (Aside from being carriers of E. coli and salmonella, downed cattle may signal the presence

Yesterday I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize. I usually don’t pick up but I did this time and the person started with “you’ve won….” and i was about to hang up until i heard her say “burritos!”. I was intrigued. So it turns out earlier in the week, I put my business card into their weekly drawing for free burritos and I won! 10 free chipotle burritos. So I’ll be there for lunch today..and dinner tonight…and lunch tomorrow, and dinner tomorrow and lunch….
I’ve always just thrown my business card into any contest I can find. So far I’m a two-time winner. A few years ago, I won a Baja Fresh Party Package and that was enough food to feed a family for a few days. So ever since then, everytime I see a contest like that, I just toss in my card. I know that if I don’t win, my card just get discarded so I found a place that gives me free business cards. You just have to pay for shipping which is
Few ad campaigns inspired as much mockery as “Dude, You’re Getting a Dell!?!” which plagued the airwaves for years in the late ’90s and earlier part of this decade. Essentially, an annoying looking guy, played by Ben Curtis, would yell out the stupid catchphrase, and then people would pretend to be excited that they were receiving a cut-rate PC with all the classy styling of a kitchen wastebasket. But times change, and stars get fired for marijuana possession, and Curtis has now turned up as a waiter at Tortilla Flats in New York. My friends over at New York Magazine have the exclusive interview.
What’s the most extreme reaction you’ve gotten?
There was a group of women in their early forties, one of whom was bawling. I walk over and they said, “Our friend just passed away. We thought you might be able to cheer [us] up, we know who you are and you’re an incredible human and you’ve been through a lot and you’re an incredible actor. We’re all DEA ag

The Victim: Me
The Damage: £5
The Background: Stephanie, my cleaning lady extraordinaire, is leaving me. She's having a baby. I can't even tell you how guilty I feel about having a cleaning lady. Make it a pregnant cleaning lady and well, I am swimming in guilt.
But life goes on. So here I am, working from home, making sure my new cleaning lady doesn't rob me blind. (I have such trust in people!) Her name is Lily and she seems really nice and I can't imagine her robbing me, so that's good.
So I take a break for lunch and head over to Exmouth Market for a burrito! I am so excited! I have been wanting to try Freebird for ages, and it's not too far from me, but it's been hard to get a day at home where I can give it a try.
The Approach: The stand is quiet when I get there. I'm the only one there. Then I recognize the two owner dudes from my night at Mucho Mas and try to drum up a con
When I make these I plate them up on colorful serving plates. This seems to stimulate Sydney's senses and she consumes several portions. It's still very much a case of "trial and error", this care and feeding of a little six year old girl child! As with anything in life, there is a learning curve. We had these for lunch.Everyone's been asking for easy recipes -- well, this is it! Can't get much easier. I was under the impression all the recipes I posted were easy. They certainly aren't of the order which I prepare for clients. Those would render you running for the proverbial hills. Speaking of which, I'm headed for the hills myself. Forest Hills, to an overly demanding woman who has her cronies over for a "proper tea". I thought that tradition was dispensed with in the UK, where it originated. My mother, who is originally from there, no longer does "tea".Have a Burrito and a great day!Fiesta Bean Burritos1 1/4 cups dry pinto beans1/2 cup chopped onion2 cloves garlic, minced1 tb
This isn't exactly taco related but it effects my life significantly.Del Taco has discontinued the small red and green burritos. They still have the 1/2 pound bean and cheese burrito on the menu but it's just not the same.A little part of me has died. Thanks Del Taco
In the comments to a previous post, I said something about
running into Kyle Myhre while buying batteries @ Walgreens.
Myhre was also there, and pointed to the Chipotle bag he was
carrying, explaining, "Zulu Nation burrito run." I completely
forgot to ask about the specific contents of Bambaataa's
burrito.
I followed up via email, and Myhre replied that it was a...
Vegetarian burrito--just a little something for Assad*, the
other DJ who performed (after Scrump and before Bambaataa). Bam had

As burritos go, we’ve tended towards pretty basic fixin’s. Meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, rice etc…. so when I saw this recipe for Turkey Bean Burritos I thought “What the heck!” and gave it a whirl. I bought a 3.5# bone-in turkey breast to cook up for the meat, and today I seasoned it with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder, placed it on a roasting rack with a quart of vegetable broth in the bottom of the pan, set the oven to 325 and went out for a nice long walk. When I got home nearly an hour later, I was a little concerned as I didn’t smell any turkey cooking. Since I had covered the roasting pan with foil to prevent the moisture from escaping, it was holding back the wonderful scent of the meat too, so as soon as I pulled back the foil, there was the glorious smell.
When the temp of the turkey was high enough, I pulled it out and let it cool, then pulled the meat apart. I had kept the breast covered the whole time it was cooking and the
