Avec Eric

Did you know that Le Bernadin chef Eric Ripert has a blog? Wait, it gets better: the blog, which is sponsored by Cuisinart (among others), is running a series called "Toasted." It's all about preparing simple-yet-delicious food in the toaster oven. This is all very exciting.

    Thanks, Mamacita for this link. I sold my stove, my fridge and my dishwasher. The new ones have arrived and they sit in my porch still in their wrapping.

    It will occur to Veto sometime in the near future that a complete kitchen renovation will be required in order to fit the new appliances into the old, small voids left by my old appliances.

    Until then, I will be cooking solely with the use of toaster oven and waffle iron. Wish me luck.

    Good luck, Saucy!

    1) Get a crock pot. I love mine so much I want to marry it.

    2) My mom has actually been cooking with a similar setup for about 15 years. Her oven and range are broken, and she and my dad have been going back-and-forth about repairing it all this time (it's a 1942 oven).

    Anyhow, she uses her toaster oven and microwave a lot, supplemented with the crockpot, when people are coming over, and of course an outside grill. And yeah, they eat out a lot.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.
