My Top Chef post is MUCH later than usual. My excuse: I was on the road for Thanksgiving and the internet connection at my Grandma's house had been disconnected. Almost three days without Internet -- the horrors! I think I'd rather go three days...

As I was making my recipe for Bread Baking Day #14, I was reminded of a story from a few summers ago, when our family hosted a boy named Tyrod through the Fresh Air Fund . My younger son was so excited to show Tyrod, who was from Harlem, everything he...

OK, an astute Rah Cha Chow reader figured this out before I did ... but it appears that next week's episode of Top Chef will take place in Rochester!!! An anonymous reader asked me whether I had heard about Top Chef coming to Rochester, and I blew...

My husband thinks I've sunk to a new low. I am playing the Top Chef Fantasy Home Game on BravoTV.com . I missed the first week, but considering some chefs have negative point totals, that could work for or against me. It's a tricky business, this...

City Newspaper , Rochester's "alternative" newspaper, recently ran the results of its voting for the Best of Rochester 2008. I found the Food and Drink winners list to be a little disappointing, just because I think the winners are the places...

Oh, the weather outside is frightful... Yes, that's snow you see in this photo! We had quite a snow overnight -- maybe 4 inches or so are on the ground. And no, that's not a reason for a snow day! The roads are mostly clear. Whenever it snows...

I've been a member of the Porter Farms CSA for a few years now, splitting the membership with my friend, Jackie. I have to say that this is my least favorite time of year to be a CSA member. Our bags are full of cabbages and squashes, and neither...

This recipe, by a chef from one of my favorite local restaurants, was posted in our local newspaper, the Democrat and Chronicle , on Tuesday. It wasn't anything spectacular but at this time of year, the dishes I make tend to be on the heavier side...

The first episode of Top Chef and I had to decide -- to blog about it or not? Well, I decided to do what I did last year: post some random thoughts and have a little discussion. I'm not up for writing a full recap each week. Consider my posts on Top...

Boy, did Charlie want to have a bite of these muffins! He couldn't, though, because there were chocolate chips in them. I found the recipe on the fabulous blog, Chocolate & Zucchini , a woman who lives in Paris and has published a couple of cookbooks...

My favorite show starts tonight! This season of Top Chef will take place in another one of my favorite cities, New York City! I can't wait! If you're a Top Chef geek like I am, here's a quiz to see how much you remember about the first four...

Since Buffalo is just over an hour away, and my husband is from Buffalo, I think of Buffalo as a neighbor, and therefore fair game for occasional inclusion in this Rochester-based blog. So I had to post what a Buffalo cake artist, Zilly Rosen, made on...

I wrote this post and then hit "preview" and saw that it looks like I'm calling this woman a flake. I'm not, really -- I like her! I'll get to the flake reference soon... Anyway, if you don't recognize her, she's Anne Burrell...

At my Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike's house on Thanksgiving, the whole family pitches in. Everyone brings a dish -- the same one every year -- and there are a lot of people in the kitchen when it's time to do the last-minute tasks. Dad carves the turkey...

I bring baked goods to band practice from time to time. Once I wondered out loud if the guys keep me in the band because of my treats (as opposed to my musical talent). "Well, it doesn't hurt," our keyboard player replied. (He was joking...
