It’s not you. It’s me.
No, you look great! You’ve still got that twinkle in your eye and that sweet, eager face. This isn’t about you. It’s me. Me looking tired, looking stressed, forehead wrinkling like so many creases in a chinese bitter melon. I’m … Continue reading →

Now serving: Milkshake
My inbox is the sad proof that I’m a sucker for email giveaways. Dinner for two at a fancy restaurant in NYC, a weekend getaway to some mountain retreat, a book. I’ve entered hundreds of these things. I’ve never won anything. … Continue reading →

A coupon and a confession
Confession: Vic Pop made a frownie face today when I got the email from bloomspot featuring today’s deal at Le Cirque in NYC. Sad feelings about the fact the formal dining experience has been overhauled in the last five years and … Continue reading →

Now serving: Cinco de Mayo in the Triangle
Sometimes the old fiesta at your local cantina gets a little dullsville. The same basket of chips and salsa and watery Micheladas feels ho hum year after year. No me gusta. Triangle revelers in need of an excuse to commemorate … Continue reading →

This week my favorite houseguest and BFF since 1985 visited me in Chapel Hill for a few days. While scrutinizing the labels of fancy Italian jarred pizza sauce at A Southern Season, we came across Taste No. 5 Umami Paste. We … Continue reading →

Heritage Foods USA: For that hard to source half lamb carcass
