Because I am not on an even keel today, and... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/08/grow_your_own.html So this is my appeal. Andrea has proposed a grow-your-own-athon and invited her readers to cook something that uses homegrown ingredients and write about it before August 29th.

Nothing too terrible, if you're lucky. I thought that extra half-egg might do something wonky to... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/07/dinner_diary_an.html I am addicted to downloading TV shows from iTunes, which is why I can't make time for all the things I'd like to accomplish in my life. I do have a few things I want to write about, a great... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/07/two_weeks_of_co.html My poor neglected little blog. You're my first and I love you the best. But the new baby's so demanding. Here's what we've been up to the last few weeks: Hel-lo Grill!

By the end I was catching on; cool foods, cool bodies. Happily Wed TV Carbonara Hot... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/06/alone_in_the_ki.html I've just finished reading a collection of essays about what we feed ourselves when there's no one around, Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant.

There's just not much there. I know we can't eat exciting food all the time, but now I feel some obligation to make things that someone... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/06/interview.html I've been reading Andrea's Recipes for only a couple of months, but I find so much of interest on it that I'm already a fan.

I am planning to make a dessert to take to a friend's on Sunday and I'll write it up if it's good. But I have been writing daily on The... http://www.walkernewyork.com/eats/archives/2007/06/give_the_coffee.html While Todd's out of town, I hate to make a whole pot of coffee in the morning for myself.
