Alex's Birthday Dinner
You may recall that the worst meal I've ever cooked for people in my life was the meal I cooked for my friends Alex and Raife in March of 2007 (see here). Rereading that post, I don't think it was as awful as I remember it being; but the pressure was high because Alex, one of my closest friends from college, had never experienced my cooking (she'd only seen me defrost California Pizza Kitchen pizzas when we lived together) and I wanted to impress her. Well, I'm pretty sure I didn't. Luckily, Alex has a birthday. And now she lives in New York and so does our friend Raife who was also there at that disastrous dinner. So to celebrate Alex's birthday, which was in October, I invited them both over for a gigantic do-over. How did I fare?...

Smell: A Video Podcast
Buyer beware: this video podcast is mostly useless, not very informative, and--at the end--quite offensive (and R-rated). But it's pretty entertaining and it features my friend Alex who just moved to New York. Hope you enjoy! [Note: feel free to answer the question I ask Alex in the comments. What three food smells would you bottle before going to prison?]...
