Pie á la Mold

Posted in food news, restaurants, reviews, tagged , , , , on November 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Last night, Bob and I went to eat at our usual weekend quick-dinner place, the Halfmoon Diner on Route 9.  I’ve mentioned it here before, and I’ve always had good things to say about it.  After last night, however, I’m rethinking a few things.
Dinner was fine – tuna melt for me, pot roast for Bob.  [...]

I was at the Greenmarket yesterday, but didn’t buy any goat cheese [...]

How does one become a food critic?

Posted in life, reviews on June 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Seriously.  Because that is what I want to do when I grow up.  I’m pretty certain I would be the best damn food critic in this area.  (Sorry, Steve Barnes.  You’re great.)
Do you have to send in a sample of your writing?  Do I just start posting more reviews, and hope someone will notice?

The World of Wendalicious Wong

Posted in friends, fun, life, reviews on June 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Sorry for the long absence…my life has yet again gotten away from me. I’ve been so busy leading up to my June 6 event in Schenectady County (History & Heritage Day), that I’ve almost completely ignored the twittersphere for about a month.
So much to talk about!
Eh, not really.
But, I do have a few nuggets from [...]

Well, I think Domino’s has earned a spot in its Fat Hall of Fame (I don’t know if they really have one, but if they did, this should be in there):  Pasta Bread Bowl. 
Exactly what it sounds like: a creamy, saucy pasta dish baked into a pizza dough bowl.  The tagline: “Pasta So [...]

My sister and I are convinced that Lofthouse Frosted Cookies must be made from crack.  I challenge anyone to eat only one after taking a bite of one of these bad boys.

And, oh so many varieties!  It does not seem to matter what color the icing is, they all taste the same – sweet, cakey, [...]

I recently discovered what just may be the most delicious cookie ever sold.*  I had been on a quest of sorts, trying to find a cookie that I could crush into crumbs and sprinkle atop my makeshift coconut cream pie.  While lazily traversing the aisles of my local Hannaford grocery store, I happened upon a [...]

Coconut Lovin’

Posted in diet, must-buys, recipes, reviews on March 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I am a big fan of coconut cream pie…but alas it is probably among the worst things you can eat:  egg yolks, heavy cream, pastry dough, coconut, whipped cream, etc.  I was jonesing HARD for a coconut fix, so I had to try to come up with a healthy alternative to this heavenly dessert.  I believe I have [...]
