VEAL SCALLOPINI – Remembering Childhood

March 24, 2010 – 12:50 pm | by admin

GUEST POST FOR LOVEFEAST TABLE As each and every one of my gentle readers knows, writing is my passion and the writing for my blog is fueled by my life stories, memories, travels and the food that I have eaten – and cooked and baked – along the way. When my wonderful friends of LoveFeast Table , Kristin and Chris Ann, very kindly asked if I would write up a food-related memory for a guest post on their blog, I was both thrilled and honored. Honored that they enjoyed my blog and my writing enough to offer me this special place on their own blog, and thrilled because I love their blog and I think they are both wonderful, fun and generous people, two women that I do consider friends, and I was so happy to share their Table with them. And this story immediately popped right into my head. I didn’t really have to dig very deeply for a food-related childhood memory, and what a story! Now food memories, one would think, especially written for a food blog, should be happy memories full of delicious meals, culinary discoveries and joyous, festive times. But, as I know so well, …

Ming’s Pasta

February 25, 2010 – 3:22 am | by admin

Plain can be tasty: pasta tossed with Bovril and butter, a dish not for the faint of weight. I realise that I don’t have any food recipes to blog since it’s still CNY and I’m still eating out, at restaurants, friends’ and my MIL’s. So before all my readers run away, here’s the world’s simplest way to serve pasta according to my son Ming who cooked it up, literally. All you need is pasta, preferably the ones with a hollow center like macaroni and bucatini, Bovril and the best butter. That would be Lurpak or President butter here but if you can get Kerrygold, which we used to get, that’s good too. A cheaper but still good butter is Anchor block butter. This is a pasta dish for hungry teenagers whose moms are lazy/too busy/ran out of money/all the previous excuses/reasons. Ming’s Pasta 1. Boil your pasta in salted water as usual (and never add oil, it’s unecessary and makes the pasta too slippery for the sauce to cling) and to the texture you like. Drain well. 2. When still hot, add lots of butter and Bovril. That’s it. A minestrone or

Six Years of Vinography

January 25, 2010 – 11:08 am | by admin

Have you ever forgotten your own birthday? It just occurred to me yesterday that while I wasn’t looking last week, the 6th anniversary of this blog’s beginning came and went. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since I first started tapping away here in my corner of the wine web. The last six years have been a wonderful exploration of my own passion for wine, and a fabulous experience of interacting with a growing body of readers. While Vinography has garnered many accolades and awards, I am most proud of the quality of thought and writing that my readers bring to their comments here. After six years (and as of 9:53 PM tonight) you’ve responded to me and to each other 12,804 times. The conversations represented by those comments in some cases are way better than the ramblings or rants that provoked them, and in all cases are examples of some of the most thoughtful and civilized wine conversation to be found anywhere on the Internet. So while I have much to celebrate after six years as a passionate-consumer-turned…

Reader submission: Cupcake Tat!

November 12, 2009 – 10:52 pm | by admin

Well, I never (ever) get tired of seeing cupcake tattoos. This one was sent in by one of our readers, Lynda, and was inked by Matt Mrowka at Needlewurks in Saratoga Springs, NY. Love it. Keep ‘em coming, people!

Sup! Sez: The OpenSky Project is 2 Sups Up!

November 2, 2009 – 3:31 pm | by admin

I have been doing a lot of thinking about SippitySup lately. It’s developed a bit of a life of its own. Which is very exciting but also comes with some responsibilities. As blogging has developed into a powerful voice on the web, people in marketing and publicity have begun knocking on our doors. They have noticed that bloggers are gaining influence with their readers. Many of the better-known blogs have become taste-makers and opinion-setters. So as SippitySup has grown I have gotten more and more requests to promote things right here on this blog. Of course it’s flattering, but it also presents a conundrum. Because Sup! is a picky bastard. Sup! likes, quality– but demands value. Sup! likes style– but there needs too be substance too. Sup! is concerned about the environment and the impact of consumer products. Sup’s! tastes run to simple and modern, but there is plenty of appreciation for the classics and quite a few of the old favorites. Even some stuff my mom had. So in truth I have to turn down most of the offers I get at promotion because, well, I just don’t like, trust, use, or enjoy the silly products they want me to promote. Sup! has integrity…

Sups! On His High Seahorse! Seafood Watch

October 23, 2009 – 12:33 pm | by admin

You know I don’t do this very much, but it’s time I got back on my high seahorse and spread some vital information regarding the state of the world’s oceans. Do you love seafood as much as I do? I hope you do. I actually hope you love it enough to stop and think about the consequences of that love. Love, indeed, has consequences and condoms are not always the answer! Fishing is an ancient practice. Fishing has helped sustain the human race and was one of the first important steps human societies took towards developing a market based food supply chain. There are deeply important cultural associations attached as well. But in the last few decades, the way we get fish to market has begun to radically alter our marine ecosystems. Over fishing, environmental degradation and destructive harvest practices are becoming cataclysmic. I bring all this up (again!) because these problems reach further than merely keeping this food obsessed “yacker” sourced up with tasty tid-bits from the sea. Because these fishing practices, you see, not only damage marine eco-systems and send species into extinction. They actually threaten the economic stability of tens of millions of people in the developing world and exacerbate the ongoing crisis of world hunger, now and into …

Dear Slice: ‘I Made It to Delancey Last Night’

August 25, 2009 – 7:00 pm | by admin

From Slice OK, so I actually got this email on Thursday, so I guess our friend here made it to Delancey last Wednesday, but who’s counting? A few days doesn’t change the sentiment. For those of you who don’t know, Delancey is the Seattle pizzeria newly opened by Brandon Pettit, husband of überpopular food blogger Molly Wizenberg ( Orangette ). Needless to say, its arrival, beautifully documented on Wizenberg’s site, has been highly anticipated by food bloggers and food-blog readers. Here’s some intel for you. — The Mgmt. [ Photograph: Orangette ] Adam, I got to Delancey last night to try out Brandon and Molly’s new restaurant. The pizza was amazing. I wish I had gone with more people so I could have tried more kinds. I tried the Brooklyn (an ode to Di Fara) and the Crimini. I know Brendan took many trips to pizza places far and wide before developing his …
