31 Oct

Prydes Veggie Sign.2Hey, Kansas Citians! The Casserole Party is coming to your town.

It will happen Monday, November 16 at 6 p.m. at Pryde’s Old Westport. Details regarding registration and attendance to come soon.

Fifth Annual Casserole Party Winners

Last night a Greenpoint coffee shop was transformed from a hipster hangout to a still-sort-of-hipstery-but-more-Midwestern cheesy wonderland for the Fifth Annual Casserole Party. There was duck, there was fish, there was pork, there were noodles and potatoes, and as usual, there was lots and lots and lots of cheese.

If You Just Got Here Via the NY Times’ Urban Eye: Read This

20 Oct

Hey, you casserole lover. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your interest in the Fifth Annual Casserole Party happening tonight at Brooklyn Label, but I have some bad news for you: it’s not an open event. To get through the doors you either must be a close personal friend of mine, a member of the press or (here’s the good news) bake your own casserole and compete. But you still have hours to accomplish this. So get out your tuna and your noodles and bake what your mama gave you. But don’t forget to register first. Oh, and read the rules & regulations; I’m pretty strict.

For My Book’s First Birthday, I’d Like You to Buy My Book

8 Oct
My book, my book!

My book, my book!

Late last night I realized that yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the pub date of my cookbook, “Casserole Crazy: Hot Stuff for Your Oven.” I can’t believe it’s been an entire year, but it presents the perfect opportunity to remind you that if you don’t yet have a copy now is the perfect time to get one. Not only is it full of easy, delicious casserole recipes—many of which can be made on the super cheap—I’ve been told it’s pretty damn funny.

So go here (or better yet, walk your sweet ass to your local independent bookstore) and get a copy… or two; it’s a great gift.
