It’s Oscar Night again. Time for Hudson’s leftover ribs and Star Trek DVDs.
Star Trek DVDs are indicated when one eats ribs instead of watching the Oscars. Books require page turning, and TV requires constant channel flipping, and we don’t want to get sauce on the remote, or […]

Meanwhile, self-inflicted castration falls out of fashion
I got outside this dish while watching responsibly reported hard news on TV. "Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs–Seeing Is Believing." There’s nothing like watching a parade of yokels declaim "I know what I seen, and it warn’t no aeroplane!" to take […]
Orrechiette with tasso ham and peas
If you’re like me, you have a vacuum-pack of Savoie’s tasso lying around. And if your tasso is like mine, it cries out to be combined with a sauce of peas and shallots and white wine and cream, thereafter to be applied to a bowl of orrechiette.

Tacodeli has perfected the taco with a little number they like to call Frontera Fundido. This sublime example of the taqueriador’s art is chunks of toothsome pot roast with fried onions and crisp poblano peppers. The secret ingredient is the mysterious "mouth-watering cheese glaze." I […]

In Austin, where failure to own a grill is a felony, there are only six or seven hours per year when it’s too cold for a cookout. The Twisty Test Kitchens have operated outside the law long enough! A few days ago we finally acquired […]
Poor Kim Tran: sick of the dick
Raging Feminist wonders how come a guy getting his dick chopped off is "so damn shocking" ("police said they were surprised by the nature of the crime") when the mass mutilation of gazillions of women is a daily occurence and causes not so much as a media burp.

Las Palomas, I am sorry to say, is in a strip mall on Bee Caves Road. The strip mall is an enormous, baking-hot asphalt parking lot. Around the edges is a single long, low, soul-sucking building, with a Taco Bell on one end and a UPS Store on the […]
