I’ve really, really got to stop cruising food blogs like a lusty old perv wearing a trench, hanging out by the back racks in a XXX store. I mean, really. Last night I ordered this gem by Kim Boyce, all about baking with whole-grain flours simply because I LIKED THE WAY THE WEDNESDAY CHEF TALKED ABOUT A CAKE.
A couple of days ago I salivated on several food magazines at Book People the other day before bringing home America’s Test Kitchen 10-Year Special Issue, because the pictures were pretty. The pictures. I’ve flipped through this magazine several times since then, furtively getting a thrill, but not actually cooking anything.
And about an hour ago I bought two tickets to see Anthony Bourdain talk about his new book, Medium Raw. Just, you know, because. I seriously need to step away from the computer and put my check card back into my purse before someone gets hurt.
To be fair, this probably has a lot to do with that teeny, tiny little side effect of the brain medication that has completely taken away my appetite. I mean, in context, if I didn’t have nails I would probably pine for nail polish. So it goes, I want food — gorgeous, stunning, fabulous, amazing food — because my body doesn’t want food.
Am I cooking through all this? Not really. I baked one thing. Okay, I baked it a couple of times. I have come close to perfecting this fabulous recipe for Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cupcakes. They are seriously the most amazing cupcakes I’ve made, and I’m not even a fan of chocolate.
I need to branch out from cupcakes though. I’m turning into a one-act play. Wait, that’s not the analogy. It’s something else. A one-tune Tony? A one-trick playa? Oh that’s going to drive me mad.
What food blogs are making your stomachs rumble with gastronomical glee?
A one-trick pony?
I think that’s it! There’s another one out there, too. One that’s just on the top of my tongue.
One-note Nancy?
Maybe it’s a sports reference?
Oh LAWDY this is going to drive me cray-cray.
you are no one-trick pony!!!
It IS one-trick pony!
(I think.)
LOL I’m too damn indecisive, I am.
OR AM I??
A co-worker recently showed me http://smittenkitchen.com/
And now at night, when I’m all alone in the newsroom, that’s what I look at. (That, and http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/)
Sorry to hear about the side-effects :/
I love smittenkitchen!
Man, these blogs. Last night I made cupcakes while pulling an all-night work-a-thon. I inadvertently put in 16 tablespoons of butter instead of six. Tablespoons. SIXTEEN.
Yikes.
Why won’t this let me post a comment here???
I think it’s a matter of leaving websites that is the problem…
so, I’ll simply to the part after the http colon double backslash

simplyrecipes
