Bio: I'm an obsessive TV watcher, jumping head first into my favorite shows (which have included Twin Peaks, Buffy, Angel, Deadwood, and Lost). I've also been known to force my love of TV onto others. Blogger by night, by day I spend my time designing medical products as an engineer (I know, don't hold it against me).

Is it polite to smell other people’s food? – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

So I was sitting in the cafeteria in my place of business this afternoon eating lunch when one of my coworkers came in, heated up his lunch and began eating it. This is a common enough occurrence, but there was something different this day. Indeed, my coworker heated up the most delicious smelling confection that […]

There are just too many types of apples – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

I had a revelation this week. For years now I’ve been working under the assumption that I just don’t like apples. I think it had a little something to do with listening to one too many people chomping loudly on an apple in the office or classroom. There’s something about the “crunch, slurp, chew” of […]

Concord grapes smell bad – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

The salad bar is a pizza maker’s best friend – Pizza Clack

It’s fast, easy, versatile, and makes great leftovers. Can you ask for anything else from a weeknight meal? As I have been making more […]

Braising can make anything good – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

With summer quickly turning to fall, I find my cravings following suit, moving away from the grilled meats and vegetables of summer to the in-the-oven, slow cooked meals of fall and winter.For me that usually means one thing: braising. I love braising, I think it’s the ultimate method of cooking. You can take just about […]

Stop toasting my subs – Eat, Drink, and Be Snarky

I know I’ve been a bit whiny in this space lately, and it’s not going to change this week. Sorry. It’s just that there’s been this recent trend in food that I don’t understand. It has totally changed the landscape that was familiar for so long. You see, it used to be that when I […]

Prosciutto and Sage – Perfect Pairs

One word for you folks: Saltimbocca. Sage is one of my favorite herbs, and prosciutto is one of the greatest foods on Earth (I often like to joke, well half-joke, that my favorite three words are: wrapped. in. prosciutto.). It should be no surprise, then, that I am a huge fan of Saltimbocca. There is […]
