What are pillow cookies might you ask? No, it is not some kinky sex lingo that you’d find on Craiglist’s casual encounters section. It’s a different type of raunchiness where your culinary boner will pop out uncontrollably at the sight of this decadent dessert.
A Festivus for the Rest of Us: How to Celebrate the Seinfeld Holiday
My first writing gig was in 1995 as a featured contributor to a Geocities Seinfeld fan club’s newsletter. I was 10 years old. The rest of the writing staff was well over 25. I quickly escalated to editor status, in charge of the Trivia and Contest sections, creating weekly games, quizzes, and contests for devoted […]
Happy Thanksgiving, American Style
It’s no coincidence that I chose to visit my family in the US over Thanksgiving, the only major holiday where eating takes center stage, giving thanks for being a bunch of total greedy foodface stuffing fatties. After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast […]

Kilos […]

Challah Baking Extravaganza
After much tweaking, and failed attempts, my Challah recipe is starting to turn out absolutely perfect. It’s good to make this while you are stressed out and wanna punch a bitch in the face. Bitch punching = killer kneading. A definite time consumer, I wouldn’t recommend starting to bake it and hour before you are […]
Cheap Dinner Challenge
With a lack of funds, due to excessive over spending and my depressing salary, I embarked on a cooking challenge. Dinner for two people, for 7 nights, no going out to eat, no ordering in, budget of only 40 pesos and my pathetic excuse of a pantry that was barely stocked. I’ll spare you the […]
