I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…

Austin: Finally, Uchiko “I even ate one of those little buggers”
A confession, y’all. I’ve eaten at Uchiko twice now, and not blogged about it. I KNOW it’s the It restaurant, I know everyone wants to know how it is, but I just had a terrible, no good, very bad experience during their soft opening and I could not get over it. The food was delicious.…

Lately I’ve taken to composing mental emails and then asking my poor staff writer at EndlessBeauty.com why she didn’t respond. Um, because you never sent them, crazy lady? Apparently I also…
Austin: Truffle Oil, Blood Orange Oil and Fig Balsamic … Oh My! [UPDATED]
[UPDATE!] This dinner was postponed to October 13 AND still has seats available–snatch one up today!! For my birthday, a lovely friend of mine got me a bottle of white truffle olive oil. Can you imagine? I am obviously now obsessed. So when I got an email about a FINO’s Chef’s Table Series dinner with…

WINNER! $75!
Amy, who said at 3:33pm (must be lucky): OOh definitely kitchen tools! I moved recently so would love some new pans as I tossed my old ones. Alright, so she’s definitely not as funny as some of you (Mom, with the Ninja comment. Jordan who wants pancakes and bacon. Carolyn who may or may not…
Aspen: Off-Season Eatin’
One of the best things about off-season in Aspen (the time between summer and winter where no one comes here because it starts to snow but not enough to ski, so it’s supposedly just miserable … I’ll keep you posted) is the amazing deals the usually too-expensive-for-my-budget restaurants have. Check out EatAspen‘s full list of…
