Learning How Not to Eat Soup Dumplings at Famous Sichuan
Oh no. "Oh god, did you just put the whole dumpling in your mouth?" Colin didn't respond. His face was frozen. Probably because the soup in the dumpling was burning off the lining of his mouth. "You're not supposed to...

Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos

Louisa Trip, Day 2: Hiking, Soft Serve, and a Giant Frittata

Happy Surprise Birthday To Me, With 200% More Pizookies
This post originally took place on my birthday, August 27. I wouldn't say it's as delayed as others (I'm a month behind) but yes, I continue my blog's theme of "posting things late." I have a pretty good excuse though....

I'm Alive, But Was Mildly Disabled by Pizza
I have one, just one more entry to write about Kåre's visit to New York City, and...it's not done yet. The problem with having a weekend chock full of delicious, inexpensive, fat and starch-laden fooding around Philadelphia is that there's...
