Poor Girl Eats Well

Well, folks, we did it! In just forty days we raised enough money to get my first real PGEW book – the book I’ve wanted to share with you for the past 3.5 years – published, printed & sold to the masses. To put into words exactly how I feel about all of this...

Since the death of my tiny TV (the one that actually did something other than serve as a monitor for my DVDs, even if it only picked up one channel), I’ve been a little out of the loop weather-wise, so I’m not quite sure how the rest of the country is faring right now....

In the past, when there have been just two days left ’til Mother’s Day, I’ve found myself scrambling to put the finishing touches on whatever special menu I’ve planned for me mum. For many reasons, we’ve had to postpone our culinary Mom’s Day celebration by a couple of weeks this year, but that doesn’t...

Pardon my sick person face in the following video (and the poor editing, and the weird sound), but I just had to share the latest in Kickstarter news!  We’re getting so close I can almost taste the victory, folks! Thank you SOOOOO very much for all your support thus far! Looks like this is...

I’m not sure about you guys, but when I was very little, I used to base many of my opinions about certain things on what my parents thought of those things. My dad thought something on TV was funny? Well, that meant it had to be worth watching, as he’s the funniest person I...

As a responsible food blogger, it is only right that I close out the month of April with a grilled cheese sandwich.  April is/was National Grilled Cheese Month, and it’s been a mouthwatering delight to see all the amazing melted cheese concoctions food bloggers & chefs have created. It’s funny: I am a huge...

Before I share my next recipe with you fine folks, I just wanted to give you a quick update on the PGEW Book Kickstarter Campaign. The response so far has been truly overwhelming, and I’m happy to report that with your help, I am 60% closer to my goal of writing this book. And...

There are times when I think my recipes actually choose me, and not vice versa.  That’s definitely been the experience in bringing this particular dish to ye olde blog. As usual, it started with a craving. I love Thai food like almost no other cuisine out there, but can’t always afford to go out...

Have you ever had one of those weeks (months, years) when everything that could go wrong does go wrong, to the point where it goes beyond tragic and right into comical? That’s been my life lately, and at this point I don’t know whether to break down into sobs or laugh maniacally at the...

In all the years I’ve lived in Sacramento (which is coming up on nine years now… wow!), one of my big I Should Have Visited This Place By Now is not heading to the famed Crocker Art Museum.  A Sacramento icon, the Crocker had a lovely expansion built next to the original structure a...
