Bio: If you live on the East Coast and watched a local ad on cable between 2002 and 2005, there's a chance I had something to do with that-- I may have even written it. I'm sorry and I promise that I never *wanted* to end a commercial with a shot of the employees standing in the parking lot and waving; it just happens. Right now, I confine my writing to various corners of the internet, including the entire CliqueClack family of sites. If you travel between the sites, you can probably figure out enough information about me to steal my identity. So good luck with that, sucker. Have fun paying my student loans.

Hold the Meat – There’s always room for pasta

Pasta. Talk about universal and unifying. Everyone likes pasta, and if they don’t, then you can quickly weed them out from the group of people with whom you should associate, because they are clearly insane. When I moved in with a meat eater, we would make pasta most nights, because it was an easy dish […]

Hold the Meat – 48 hours, 5 people, 0 meat

A few weekends ago, I escaped to the mountains with two of my friends and two babies. Since we were in a condo in the woods, we weren’t planning on eating out: that meant that we had to go shopping and plan our meals. While Cooper and I don’t eat meat, Elizabeth, Lauren, and Lauren’s […]

Hold the Meat – School Lunch

While there are many downsides to growing up as a vegetarian — the inane questions, the feelings of exclusion — there are definitely some up-sides. My colon probably isn’t going to fall out of my body, for instance. Also, I never really had to deal with school lunch. Sure, I would partake in “cheese pizza […]

Pancakes: My food FAIL

I’ve never claimed to be an expert cook. In fact, I’ve been pretty straightforward about how I merely muddle along in the kitchen. So while I’m clearly not the next Julia Child, I can generally get by– with one exception. I cannot, for the life of me, make a decent pancake. It doesn’t matter if […]

Hold the Meat – But what if I did eat meat?

When somebody new finds out that I’m a vegetarian, they invariably say something like, “but what about fried chicken?” or “but what about cheeseburgers?” They are absolutely flabbergasted by the fact that I live without these things that they hold so dear. Yet, somehow I soldier through, and since I’ve never had any of those […]

This breakfast may kill you

A few weeks ago, I was at Borders perusing the clearance section. I found this really janky set of cookbooks that I adore, but are only useful in the loosest sense. The ingredients don’t actually combine to make anything; they’re more of a guide to an idea of a dish than anything else. I’ve made […]

Hold the Meat – What to eat when the zombies are after you

Last week, before my baby decided to snack on dog food, I was having a difficult time coming up with inspiration for my Hold the Meat column. So I took it to our esteemed writers and asked for ideas. Our resident redneck, Jeff, played to my love of zombies and offered this up: The Zombie […]
