How is it that a great review for “Casserole Crazy” is in one of my favorite magazines which features one of my most beloved female singers on the cover?
Have the stars just aligned in the shape of a vintage Pyrex dish?
I think they have.

Thankful Giving Crafternoon and Casserole Extravaganza with Maura Madden, author of “Crafternoon” at WORD
Crafters are encouraged to knit or crochet hats and scarves to be donated to those in need. We’ll have lots of yarn and knitting needles on hand, but feel free to BYOYarn and Needles to work with. And if you’d like to get a jump on your project this week, well, heck, go right ahead. We’ll be happy to take finished products.We will be donating these winter accessories to the Greenpoint Reformed Church. The church runs a food pantry, so please bring along a can or two of something tasty to pass along.
I’ll make some casseroles and you should bring one to share, too.

Fourth Annual Casserole Party Winners
13 Nov
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Fourth Annual Casserole Party Monday night at Brooklyn Label. I’m traveling and don’t have too much time to share anecdotes or my favorites (tuna noodle macaroni and cheese with Durkee onions on top, anyone?) but the winners (not the tuna noodle mac and cheese) deserve some damned recognition. Congratulations to:
First place: Theodore Peck team “Caulifornication”
Second Place: Natalie Bell and Ethan Murphy team “Fidel Castroroles”
Third Place: Ashley Bell and Shamina Singh team “Bellsinghausen”
Thanks again to the judges Cathy Erway (who filled in for Camille Becerra at the last minute after Paloma’s tragic fire), Harry Rosenblum and Zachary Schulman and the sponsors: The Brooklyn Kitchen, Brooklyn Label Dandelion Wines, Le Creuset, Sheena’s Cocina and WORD.
Also! As soon as I return from San Francisco next week, I’m teaching a class at Whole Foods that will very likely be canceled if more people don’t sign up. So sign up!
All Day I Dream About Le Creuset

This is the grand prize for the Fourth Annual Casserole Party. Mind you, I don’t actually own one. I just cooed over this one at the Brooklyn Kitchen tonight. Yet again, you’ll have one and I won’t. Why, oh why, does the cookie crumble so?
Free Casserole and Booze Thursday at The Brooklyn Kitchen
3 NovHey, all. I’m traveling through the Midwest so I can’t write much, but I do want to let you know that I’ll be sampling casseroles at the Brooklyn Kitchen this Thursday night at 6:30. And you can’t have casserole without booze… well, you can, but it’s more fun with a little something to wash it down. Details here.
