So, here’s the story: that photo up there is of me and Dave with our goddaughter on our wedding day. (I might have a bit more time for taking food photos and writing now that the wedding planning is over!) (Also, before I forget to give this most important credit: the photos in this post […]

Food blogging opens a lot of doors. I’ve made wonderful friends, received gifts and marketing materials, started an occasional restaurant, and really had a lot of fun. About a week and a half ago, though, something new happened. BlissPR asked me to be the celebrity guest judge for their company’s holiday bakeoff party. I don’t […]

So, I was just introduced to Yummr, which is a foodie community website with a social networking bent. The deal there is that you can share recipes and cooking videos, and by participation earn points towards winning prizes at their Bazaar, which was most recently updated to include a few copies of Jacques Pepin’s Fast […]

I usually don’t do memes, but Helen from Food Stories tagged me. The rules are: 1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. 2. Share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself. 3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their […]

I’m a bit late this year, but I finally put together a set of my favorite images from the past year, along with their corresponding recipes, to create the 2008 calendar. Habeas Brûlée 2008 wall calendars are now available for purchase here. Sorry for the delay! Channukah snuck in early this year, and things got […]

I am extremely honored that Brilynn, one of my favorite food bloggers, saw fit to nominate me for a Thinking Blogger Award. I’ll take any excuse to introduce you to some of the wonderful blogs out there for you to read. (I’m tempted to name my other blog, the Mental Disability Law Blog, but I […]

When Aki and Alex of Ideas in Food announced that they were moving back to New York City and taking on catering jobs, I was thrilled. I’ve been wanting to visit their restaurant for ages, but it was so far away, and now I had my chance. Nicole made it happen, and actually organized a […]

Hey there. I have something completely unrelated to food that I would like to share with you today. My name is Danielle E. Sucher. I am an attorney admitted to practice in the state of New York, and just a few weeks ago I put out my shingle and opened my own solo law firm, […]

I could tell you a tale of pork nests, and I have included a recipe below. This is a food blog, after all. But instead, there is something even more important I would like to tell you. (This is actually not the big news I was alluding to a few weeks ago. I will disclose […]

I’ve been posting recipes here for almost a year now – it will be a year come February 26, 2007, in fact. In all that time, I’ve never put together a good index of the recipes I’ve posted here. In honor of my upcoming bloggiversary, here it is at last – my recipe index. I’ll […]

Last week, a reader emailed me to ask if I would consider creating a Habeas Brûlée 2007 wall calendar, so that she could buy a few to give to her boyfriend and friends as holiday gifts. So, I put together a set of my favorite images from the past year, along with their corresponding recipes, […]

These photos were taken back home, before I left for Hungary. I picked up these cherry husk tomatoes, which look quite a lot like tomatillos to me, at the farmer’s market in Brooklyn Heights. They smell like a mango and taste like a firm persimmon, almost. Delicious! I threw a few into a sort of […]

These photos were all taken at the NYC Greenmarket in Brooklyn Heights, right in front of the Brooklyn Supreme Court and Borough Hall. The tomatoes (and young lady) were from Wilklow Orchards. Their produce was stunning, and I appreciated the lady’s kindness in letting me obsessively photograph her as she cut tomatoes. I am leaving […]

REMINDER: If you want to be involved in the Homemade Jams, Jellies, Curds, Chutneys, &c. Circle Swap, you have to let me know what country you are in, what you have available to swap, whether you are willing to ship internationally, and how many people you would like to swap with (ideally) by August 1, […]

That is a photo of Meyer lemons, taken back in April right before I experimented with preserving them via lactic acid fermentation. It has nothing to do with this post. Dave finally showed me how to check my blog stats, so I can see who is linking to me and what sort of search terms […]
