Milk Bar Goes National
Now you can order crack pie (10”), blueberry & cream cookies, chocolate-chocolate cookies, compost cookies, and cornflake-choc chip-marshmallow cookies on Milk Bar’s website. Just create a username and password to log in and see the next available ship date. Those red Xes still give me the chills from back when I was trying to get into Ko last year. If you’d rather save $$...

Real Housewife to Publish Cookbook
It’s table-tossing Teresa from NJ. Who knew she actually cooked? I feel like Caroline’s the only one who ever cooked any big family meals on-camera. And I did see her at Murray’s that one time, so we know she eats! Anyway, Teresa’s recipe collection is called Skinny Italian: Eat It and Enjoy it - Live La Bella Vita and Look Great Too! I can’t wait to read these. I...

…enter your pun-ny headline here. Harbour, over in no-man’s land West Soho, has closed. $3 mil down the drain. Not even a year old. Woof.
Read more here.
Also, did you guys know that Bungalow 8 is closed at the moment? I guess the phone line’s dead. Yipes. I’m sure Sacco’s got a plan though. But until then, where is everyone fabulous going these days? Is it all...

Supercook.com
Has anyone else used this before? I am totally amazed. I was reading through Meghan Asha’s blog and it piqued my interest. Basically, it’s a database of recipes that the site will auto-search for you, based on the ingredients to have RIGHT NOW. To give it a spin, I entered what I have in my cupboards and refrigerator at this very moment:
-chicken breast
-chicken stock
-parsley

When (my) Worlds Collide: Chinese Food and...
J&R Music World has new print brochure-like ads that look exactly like Chinese food delivery menus. Rather than General Tso’s chicken, the menu lists (I’m guessing, it’s hard to see) J&R’s vast inventory. I have heart for this first and foremost because the ad agency Toy produced it, which is run by a mentor of mine, Anne Bologna. So cool, so smart. And she named...

Recipe: Healthy Lasagna
This is a great recipe to cook for girlfriends and boyfriends alike - hearty enough for the boys, and healthy enough for the girls. I’ve adapted it slightly from Ellie Krieger of the Food Network…it seems long and annoying but it’s very easy and fun to assemble - the hardest part is waiting for it to bake. Here’s what you’ll need:
9x13 baking dish
12 oz (about 15...

Saggy Boobs and Called Her a Ho
So, this is juicy. Apparently, Anne Burell, former chef of Centro Vinoteca (where I ate last weekend with mi familia) is being sued for discrimination. I guess she said some nasty stuff while she was the head of the kitchen:
“The allegations laid out in the complaint are outlined in Centro’s motion to dismiss, which has been denied by a judge. One of the plaintiffs, Susan Kendall Bradford,...
