Fried Eggplant Balls
Wayne and Tracie invited us over Wednesday night for a Turkish Themed Potluck. I love potlucks, and I love Wayne and Tracie, so I immediately hit the cookbook collection to search for an appropriate recipe. I ended skimming through Mediterranean-themed... Continue reading

One Page Cookbooks
I like this concept: One page "cookbooks" focused on Indian cuisine. These are more like one sheet formulas, or Cooking for Engineers meets Ruhlman's Ratio. At the very least, a quick way to jog your brain out of a culinary... Continue reading

Breakfast @ Blue Bottle
Breakfast @ Blue Bottle, originally uploaded by Alaina B.. Quick trip to San Francisco included breakfast at Blue Bottle Sunday morning. I prefer my eggs a little runnier, otherwise YUM. Continue reading

Yay!
Recipe: Two-way Gingersnaps
This weekend I finally got around to scratching my holiday baking itch. My kitchen isn't exactly baking-friendly so that I had an itch at all was remarkable. The oven is not quite full-size, has only ever had one rack, and is prone to shut off randomly and without warning. The total counter ...
Ha! That's exactly what I thought when we saw him play this song last week.
Robin Thicke's "Dreamworld" & Dubious Science
From Robin Thicke's Something Else--which I actually like quite a bit, overall--comes this contender for most unintentionally funny line of the year, one that, every time I hear it, I can't help but think, "really?". [1] It's from "Dreamworld", which, I guess, is Thicke's updated version of "Im...
Love the family tree of mothers! I'm now inspired to try and hunt down photos of my family's mothers.
Generations of Moms
As part as my Mother's Day gift to our moms, I created a photo book of pictures of Penelope (since she's the one the moms really want to see). One page of the book, however, wasn't Penelope but instead a family tree of sorts documenting all the moms in our families going back to Penelope's great...
Now I HAVE to bake some cookies! Her recipe looks like a good, all-around oatmeal cookie recipe.
2 Oatmeal Cookie Recipes to Try
I don't like chocolate chip cookies (insane, I know!), but I do love a good oatmeal cookie. Both these recipes call for sprinkling coarse salt over the cookies before they go in the oven—sounds like an excellent idea to me. Cook's Illustrated's Crispy Salted Oatmeal Cookies Habeas Brûlée's Salt...
[this is good]
we're here to compete
(Update 3/12/08: Wow, I guess all this talk about competition struck a nerve.) Since when does "competing" equal "playing dirty"? Yesterday we ran a post on movabletype.com that touts the advantages of Movable Type over the soon-to-be-released (any day now) Wordpress 2.5. Was the title of the...
Bob - thanks for reading A Full Belly first! :) Crunchy vs Chewy: that's a tough call, but I have a slight preference for a little bit of crunch when it comes to oatmeal cookies. Enjoy the recipes!

Sadly, not so hot but perhaps it was my own user error. I had much better luck with Lahey's no-knead recipe, which I suspect is a more forgiving recipe.
5 Minute Bread
My only successful attempt at bread-making has been the no-knead recipe, but I'm going to have to try Dr. Hertzberg's recipe for simple crusty bread from his book, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It sounds just as easy, takes less time to come together, and appears to yield great results.
Thanks, Mena!
MINDFREAK!
I wasn't planning on posting about this—there are depths to which I figured I wouldn't sink on my blog, after all—but Mena egged me on. So... I was watching Criss Angel: MindFreak the other night. And I guess this is an old episode—to my credit, I think, this is only the third time I'd watched t...
