It’s hard to believe that just one week ago it was snowing here. It soared into the mid to upper 70s this weekend – a perfect setting for the Exceptional Foundation’s annual chili cook-off. We had never been for some reason but had heard thousands of people turn out to our small Homewood Park ...

Minns ni 99? Det känns ganska avlägset, eller hur? Året då Napster gör fildelningen folklig, tidningarna Pop och Sound Affects läggs ner och Curtis Mayfield dör. Det var också året då dagensskiva.com tog sina första stapplande steg. Under februari/mars började redaktionen formeras och i ...

Irgendwie hatte ich heute mal wieder Lust zu kochen. Ich wälzte einige Zeit lang verschiedene Rezepte, landete aber letztlich dann doch mal wieder bei einem meiner Lieblingsgerichte: dem Chili con Carne. Als Grundlage diente das bereits hier vorgestellte Rezept, das ich jedoch nach eigenem gutd...

The Bacon Takedown. A Brooklyn first. 30 different type of bacon. C'mon out and taste the goodness. Come watch as I get my ass kicked by the hipsters!...

Seattle’s drinking club with a biking problem (.83) is hosting its 4th-annual “FUCKING HLLS RACE” Feb. 22  on Bainbridge Island. This premier cycling event draws cyclists from all over the region to compete for cash and  liquid prizes as well as some decent biking gear donated by...

ReMARKable Palate #181: It’s Skyline Time! I visit Cincinnati’s famous Skyline Chili for the first time with my friend Cliff Ravenscraft from GSPN.tv . We talk about how this unique concoction of meat, chili, and spices like cocoa and cinnamon ends up over spaghetti and hot dogs, and cov...

Je suis retournée à Valparaiso pas très loin de l'endroit où j'ai pris une planche sur la tête, en évitant soigneusement les escaliers. Nous y retrouvons régulièrement une joyeuse bande d'expat anglophones. Nous passons souvent de bons moments mais nous évitons de trop lier de c...
