NYT: All the News That WAS Fit to Print

It’s not often that we here in the backwater Northwest get to look to New York City, snicker, and roll our eyes. New York Times, I guffaw in your general direction. So what if I read and comment on the newspaper two days late? I’m a busy girl. That’s excusable. This is a blog. But […]

Crap, I forgot! (Cheese Pairing) + (Witbier & Oysters)

I forgot to post a link to my column last week. I did an article about Witbier, the little Belgium gem, and it’s rightful place beside NW oysters.
White Bread in a Glass, in the Seattle Weekly
In this week’s column, I give a few sure thing pairings for wine and cheese. Not to imply that you […]

KUOW’s Weekday, Steve Scher, and little old me

So, I’ll be a guest on KUOW’s Weekday with Steve Scher this Thursday, along with the Weekly’s Jonathan Kauffman, talking about taco trucks in the 10am to 11 am hour. This is a super happy fun day for me, as I am a complete NPR nerd, and I listen to the program religiously (I loves […]
