I realize I’m late on this, but I’m late on most things so I’ll keep it brief.

2012 is gonna be GREAT!  Eat your hearts out kiddos!

Life is a-moving at super-speeds as of late.  Therefore, I’m gonna try to keep this brief since I should probably be doing something more “productive” than blogging.  I give you in no particular order, photographic evidence of events of late incluting but not limited to a giant head sculpture by David Platter, the Shangri-Lounge, and a recent pedicure.

That’s all for now, squirrels.  Thanks for stopping by, and remember to keep eating your heart out,

As previously stated on this here blog, I love Mardi Gras.  In fact, I was born in Louisiana, therefore I feel a particular affinity for the place, the customs, and THE FOOD.  That said, I’d like to regale you with some [frequently unflattering] photos I stumbled upon from a Mardi Gras party Agent Mistretta and I threw a couple years back.  Let the good times roll:

A little sauced…

There are a few more photos to look at here!

Now I have only to endure the rest of the work day, go home and throw a magnificent party.  I’ll be serving homemade gumbo, red beans and rice and king cake (nummmm).  Pictures to come of food and the debauchery that will surely ensue.

Eat your hearts out,

As I mentioned in my last post, I threw a little NYE bash at the Shangri-Lounge.  I feel my efforts were met with wild success:  2011 was rung in with good friends, hors d’oeuvres, a glitter cannon, dancing, cup-and-ball, list making, fire crackers and bottles and bottles of champagne.  New years day hangovers were then soothed with an elaborate pajama-fest filled with pillows, snuggles, snuggies, m&ms and the viewing of 2 cinematic masterpieces: Clue and Inception.  Plus, a good luck smorgasbord of black eyed peas, greens and roasted pork loin and potatoes (SO GOOD).  Since it was so fun last time I made SOME MORE digital collages of the party pictures my boy Jeffy-Pop took:

Unpictured: A NEW! NYE tradition, The Gherkin Toss.  This year the toss was deftly performed by pitcher: Lindsay and catcher (and birthday girl!!), Jessica.  Nicely done, ladies, your physical prowess shall be fondly mused upon throughout 2011.

Here’s to you 2011, I’m gonna lick your eyeballs and make you my prom date.  Eat your hearts out, y’all,

Here I am, sitting at work, wishing there were something good to eat around this godless pit.  Sooooo,  I’ve decided to reminisce upon my recent foods.  You know, good food prepared in the comfort of home, not full of the organ preserving sludge they serve in food courts.  It promises to be a feast for the eyes at the very least and food porn at the very most, join me won’t you?

Roasted fall vegetables.  I wish my blog had scratch ‘n sniff so you could all know just how good this smelled while it was cooking.

The insides of a Saturday morning omelet.  So fresh.  So delicious.

Udon noodle soup packed with carrots, mushrooms, spinach, tofu and much, much more!

Nothing says “hey we’re all friends, right?” like getting together, throwing an adorable suckling pig in a fiery pit, barbarically butchering it and eating the result.  It was delicious beyond words.  In Pork We Trust.

Eat your hearts out,
