Pressing spinster auntly business (I have to lounge by a pool again, dammit) will keep me away from my desk today, but I can’t see leaving yall without a photograph of some quiche. From the Blue Star Cafeteria. Which is a dumb name for a restaurant that isn’t a cafeteria.

I don’t know if real feminists eat this or not
Published August 22nd, 2007 in Morsel Institute and Austin. 13 CommentsA selection of open letters, one of which is not like the others
Published August 18th, 2007 in Morsel Institute, Easy Persiflage and Austin. 60 CommentsOf course you care what I had for lunch: a spinach and goat cheese crepe with caramelized onion and tomato from Flip Happy Crepes.
To the two 6th St. joggers who ducked into Whole Foods, made for the produce section, proceeded to cool themselves by rolling cucumbers over their sweaty B.O. hides, and then put the […]
Garish dinner photo of the week
Published July 4th, 2007 in Morsel Institute and Austin. 34 CommentsThe foam-as-food trend, invented a few years ago by that El Bulli guy in Spain, has hit Austin at last. Or maybe it’s been here all along and I’ve eaten it 46 times but because I have chemo-brain it slipped my mind. But in any event, the other night at Zoot — an upscaly joint […]
Seared foie gras from Uchi the other night. Like eating waterfowl-flavored butter.
Naturally, my cheepo webhost cannot stand it when a spinster aunt tries to run more than one database off his stupid cheepo server, so I’ve had to shut down the forum to keep it from eating the blog.
Fans of the forum should sit tight […]
Roly poly fish heads eat them up yum
Published June 7th, 2007 in Morsel Institute and Austin. 38 CommentsFried mackerel, peanuts, cilantro, lemon curd at Uchi on S. Lamar, June 6, 2007
Stingray and I waited an hour for a table at Uchi last night. Then we ordered the chef’s tasting menu (the actual name for it was a Japanese phrase meaning “I trust you”). Whereupon Jody, our server, brought us 8 or 10 […]
Breakfast of quadragenarians
Published June 1st, 2007 in Crazy sexy cancer and Morsel Institute. 74 CommentsMoonrise over the berry-flavored barium ’smoothie’.
UPDATE, JUNE 2: For those of you following my tiptoe through the garden of cancer, the scans were negative for metastases. One is tempted to hoist cups of wassail, but as it is only 10:30 in the morning, a shot of Patrón will suffice. A shout-out to the excellent Elsa, […]
After the Twistolution, ‘hamburger’ will have more meaning than ‘woman’. Burger and onion rings at Phil’s Ice House, North Austin. May 2007.
Yesterday I asked yew-all what the word ‘woman’ means. Thanks to those of you who answered; it was sporting of you, considering that I had just posted a curmudgeonly amendment to the Comment-o-festo consisting […]
Define this
Published May 29th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender, Blogulation and Morsel Institute. 187 CommentsOne of the juicy morsels I et yesterday while not reading the blog comments: a multi-cultivar tomato salad with fried goat cheese and about 36 different herbs, made by my sibling Tidy, who, to the undiluted satisfaction of the Faster family palates, has been watching that smarmy Napa dude on The Food Channel.

But she was drinking
Published May 18th, 2007 in Men Hate You, Mass Media, Sexploitation and Morsel Institute. 110 CommentsThe equivalent of consent: a couple of prickly pear margs at El Gringo.
Dig free rape porn? The Joplin Globe endeavors to give satisfaction. The Missouri paper, whose motto is apparently “It’s your girl. We deliver it,” titillated readers on May 10 (and for all I know it may do this all the time) with a […]
Tacos are all well and good, but two or three times a week, when dessert time rolls around, the spinster aunt yearns for a sublime, tiny overpriced morsel of brie, grilled scallops, morels, and about two sticks of butter. The brie “lasagne” at Jeffrey’s on West Lynn is indeed microscopic, but so redolent with gross […]
