My apologies for the lack of blog updates lately. Life has thrown me for a bit of a loop, so I have been taking time to sort things out. However, I will be back in the saddle shortly and should have some new posts up very soon. :)...

| Making Macarons With Tartelette! |
| 2010-01-27 17:53:00 |
A couple of Sundays ago I was fortunate enough to take part in a macaron workshop taught by the wonderful food stylist/blogger/photographer/pastry chef extraordinaire Helen of Tartelette. I had never tasted these trendy French confections (let alone attempted to make them) so this was a special treat for me! It was great to finally meet fellow bloggers Tami (Running With Tweezers), Jennifer Z. (The Blissful Glutton) and Shameeka (The Broke Socialite), along with new friends Angie (Bakerella), Susan (The Frugal Hostess), Emily (Ultra Foodie and the Poodle Revolution), Katie (Whisk Away), Wendy, Lisa, Caryn, Paula (bell'alimento), Jennifer B. and our gracious hostess Patti (Anatomy of a Dinner Party) who welcomed us into her lovely home for the afternoon.

| Foodie TV: Top Chef Las Vegas Preview-Restaurant Wars! |
| 2009-10-21 17:46:00 |
Ah, Restaurant Wars. A staple of every season of Top Chef, and I'm sure we can count on Las Vegas to bring the drama! In this preview from bravotv.com, we have conflict between Mike V. and Robin (shocking, I know).I'm still not over Tre Wilcox getting clipped in season three's Restaurant Wars-here's hoping my fave Kevin Gillespie won't be this season's casualty. Top Chef Las Vegas airs tonight at 10 PM ET/PT on Bravo. Oh, and don't forget to check out AJC "food dude" John Kessler's Top Chef episode recaps on his Food and More blog-always a good read!...

You've seen him on Top Chef. Some of you have been fortunate enough to dine at his 3 Michelin star restaurant Le Bernardin in New York City. Now Chef Eric Ripert has a new show airing on PBS stations nationwide simply titled Avec Eric. Says Chef Ripert, "The show will take you with me to the source of some of my culinary inspiration and then back with me to my restaurant and my home kitchen to see how that inspiration turns into a recipe." Here's a sample (from http://aveceric.com):I'm a big fan of Chef Ripert's so I've been looking forward to this new show. Avec Eric will air on Atlanta's PBA30 beginning Saturday October 17 at 1 PM.

| My Great-Aunt's Cream Cheese Pound Cake (well, sort of) |
| 2009-09-18 18:29:00 |
In my family, my great-aunt Margaret is the queen of cakes. Whenever we travel to Florida to visit, we are always begging her to bake us a cake (or two). I don't know how she does it, but she just has a knack for baking the most delicious cakes you'll ever eat. Here's the cream cheese pound cake recipe that my grandmother managed to grab from Aunt Margaret on a recent visit. It's not her personal creation, but it's a recipe that she swears by and has used for years. I present it here, just as it was submitted by a Mrs. Ralph A. Patrick many years ago. It's a little different from my own cream cheese pound cake recipe (this one calls for margarine, I normally use butter), but it's very good. I was munching on some today-I only wish I'd had strawber...

| Foodie TV: Man v. Food visits Hawaii & Top Chef Las Vegas tonight @10 ET/PT |
| 2009-09-09 19:26:00 |
I don't know why the tv scheduling gods must put two of my favorite shows in the same Wednesday night time slot. Thankfully Bravo re-airs Top Chef Las Vegas immediately following the first 10 o'clock airing, allowing me to watch Man v Food (and the awesome Adam Richman) on Travel Channel first!This week finds our boy in Hawaii taking on a stack of ginormous, manhole-sized blueberry pancakes. This is going to be a tough one-he's really going to have to fight "the itis" when those pancakes settle in his stomach like a ton of bricks. Go Adam! (hopeless foodie tries to throw up the MVF hand sign thing Adam does...fails miserably)Meanwhile, Top Chef Las Vegas continues tonight as the cheftestants try their best to impress Joël Robichon, Daniel Boulud, Top Chef Masters finalis...
