Who says only Paris and New York can have a Macaron day? I’m declaring one here in Richmond! So stop by at Rostov’s coffee starting at 10:00 am tomorrow, March 20th. I’ll be handing out free macarons, 1 per person (but my arm can easily be twisted) until supplies last. No gimmick, I won’t be [...]

LFM: Bouchon, a bistro I could get excited about
January 5th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Local Food Musings
Haven’t done a local food musing in a while. Yes, we still eat out but there hasn’t been much to write about regarding the food scene in RVA from our point of view (I missed all the hype when Balliceaux opened.)
If the “Hungry” Hubby and I would like to go out for a date night, [...]

The city that grew the foodie in me. Chubby Hubby has a delectable account of this most underestimated food destination in Asia. Although I must say the food scene has developed into a level that I have not seen before. Pork belly and foie gras cassoulet? Never seen that dish on any of the menus when I [...]

Unagi Don over rice served with pickled radish
Remember that song from the 80’s? I seem to be singing it a lot lately. I’ve made no secret of my love for Japanese food especially their donburi fare. I always tell the “Hungry” Hubby that I must have been Japanese in a previous life. However, trying my [...]

I seem to have an appetite for Japanese food lately as I have dined at two restaurants serving this particular fare in the past week. The “Hungry” Hubby is not fond of Japanese cuisine, but he has been known to indulge me in my sudden cravings for dashi-infused dishes. I could very well make my [...]

I know I’ve been a slacker with blogging lately – no new recipes for weeks now. But most of you know I’ve entered the wedding business and cooking anything worth blogging about with a full-time computer job and the season…
Broad Appetit and the conflicted foodie
June 8th, 2009 · 20 Comments · Local Food Musings
Someone as food obsessed as I am really shouldn’t be selling at a food festival. Conflict of interest. Let me explain. The festival was set to open to the public at noon. At 11:30 am I was fretting about missing…

I’ve had blogger’s block before but this recent case is the worst of the lot. A girl can only have so much brain power and it doesn’t help if it is filled with thoughts of macarons and cupcakes – those…
LFM: Edo’s Squid and other eats
May 11th, 2009 · 23 Comments · Local Food Musings
I know I set a rule not to say anything negative about locally-owned places but this particular restaurant has such an established clientele that I doubt that the opinion of a little blogger like me would even matter . Besides,…
