The Fox and the Hen, by way of Goldman Sachs.

Food Sunday: Cheap and Good – Crepes Three Ways

By: TobyWollin Sunday November 8, 2009 10:00 am

For everyone who lined up to read some sort of Julia Child Meets Aunt Toby at The Jumping Frog, I’m afraid you are going to be disappointed. Jason thought I was going to do French today because I told him I was going to cover crepes in three different ways.

What’s the Real Message Tonight from NY-23?

By: TobyWollin Wednesday November 4, 2009 6:30 am
(Promoted by jasonrosenbaum - A really prescient look at NY-23, given last night's results and Hoffman's loss.)

The Right is whining and wildly swinging over imaginary left wing activities in NY-23 (ACORN, anyone? The damn district is over 90% white). Could be a case of ‘protest too much’?

Sunday Food: Can’t Cook Lamb? Baaaaaaa — Humbug!

By: TobyWollin Sunday November 1, 2009 9:30 am

Turkey has whoopped Lamb’s butt in terms of consumption in this country. Before the invention of “processed turkey everything” starting about 20 years ago, in general, American families ate turkey twice a year. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ham gets the nod for Easter in most parts of the country with a cameo appearance of the leg of lamb on the east and west coasts. Lamb gets eaten on special occasions: going out to eat in a restaurant or at Easter/Passover. That is it.

Why Johnny (Boehner) Can’t Read

Boehner wants to spend his time in the tanning salon; he doesn't want to work his way through the legislation.

Food Sunday: Cheap and Good – Roasted Roots

By: TobyWollin Sunday October 25, 2009 11:15 am

Trying to get more veggies into your family? Tired of potatoes? Every vegetable has a ‘best way’ of cooking and for root vegetables, it’s NOT boiling. Trust your Aunt Toby on this one: boiled beets, boiled potatoes, boiled turnips is just not the heating method to bring out their best.

Food Sunday: Clean the Fridge Soup

By: TobyWollin Sunday October 18, 2009 10:30 am

So the story goes, a group of soldiers, trudging home after the Napoleonic Wars (or, pick your war – soldiers always end up trudging home when it’s over, no matter who wins), walked into a village and asked for food. “We are starving here already, “ the villagers answered, “Soldiers like you stole all our food and left us nothing; begone!”
