July 30, 2008

Please ignore my absurd attempt at homemade guacamole and take a moment to really inspect the chips in the photo. Wait a minute?! Is that a … surfboard?

April 1, 2008

Local eatery b.good is having a contest to name their new salad. It contains baby spinach, arugula, blue cheese, dried cherries, dried apples, almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette. One of the options is the “Cherie Johnson.” Obviously I voted for that. Punky Power! And because I want nothing more than to be able to order a [...]
