Knödel…Griesnocker…Mohnnudeln…Kaiserschmarren
I don’t know what these foods are, do you? Let’s find out this weekend at the official opening of LES resto Kinski, (128 Rivington Street between Norfolk & Essex, 646-270-9733). It’s like real home cookin’ from the Austrian grandma you never had.

tiny bubbles
Another of my 2010 #resolutions is to drink the requisite 8 glasses of water a day as instructed by every womens’ magazine ever published. Thing is, I find it dull, tedious and unfair to have to guzzle down glass after glass of the clear stuff. So, this penguinesque Sodastream has basically been my salvation.
In addition to seltzerifying my NYC tap with just a flick of the wrist,...

Now that the ice is seemingly melting on the Great Recession of ‘09, people are finally ready to start talking about caviar again. Phew. Click for a few cases in point:
David Chang snuck it on the @momofuku late night menu.
Franny’s provisions store Bklyn Larder sent me an email about their new sustainable caviars.

me so crabby →
In college I was so cool, I went to Baltimore on spring break. What can I say: I was more into Female Trouble than Girls Gone Wild. On top of that, I have a longstanding obsession with Old Bay Seasoning. Therefore, Choptank is on the top of my list of new restos to try. It just opened last night, so I’ll give it a month or so to cool off before I attempt a visit.
Anyone been to Choptank?...

makin' migas
Despite a dearth of restaurant photos, I swear I still cook. Just recently(ish), Guy and I worked together to recreate his favorite breakfast from Austin, TX’s Taco Express (or Crazy Maria’s as he calls it). And while the recipe I got in the Times didn’t end up much like Maria’s, it still ruled.
Fresh pico, peppers and onions for frying, grated cheese…See more...

excluded from chicken cutlet night →
Like any red-blooded guidette, I am enthralled by the Situation et al, and would never want to do anything to jeopardize a dinner invitation at the Shore House, particularly not on chicken cutlet night. Scroll to the bottom to watch him tell it like it is. And for the record, @mikesituation, I am on your side. thx @GlennBelverio for the link.

pizza partying
My name is Angela and I’m a recovering pizza hater…OK I never really hated it but was abnormally ambivalent during my college years in Boston. The only time I could get into it was after a few too many, usually at Hi Fi or Little Stevie’s. I didn’t have regular access to Santarpio’s nor do I remember Upper Crust being a thing yet. I was more into wings anyway.
