Tiki Cocktails & Tasty Beverage Generator

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

In my search for a nice selection of good themed cocktails for a party I am planning I discovered a limit to the Kitchen Assistant.  As it is currently configured, searching for a ‘Zombie Shooter’ will bring up not only tasty adult beverages but it will also show you links to the (awesome) Left 4 [...]

Pesach Cocktails

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I was looking around on the internet for the “kosher for passover” certifications status for alcohol (in general) and read an article from the LA Times, by Jerry Hirsch, about the recent expansion of KfP products. Sadly, most of the mirrored articles available online were not complete – or had been spliced with other content [...]

RIP Kitchen Assistant, Long Live Kitchen Assistant!

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Hmmmm… Seems like the CGI I was using to power the searches for my “Online Kitchen Assistant” went kaput sometime in October. Searches errored out as the new CGI code used by the guys at ResearchBuzz, whom I have shamelessly been using for almost 2 years, no longer accepts the older data format that I [...]

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Looks like the search applet I was using, for the Kitchen Assistant, is now no longer supported by Google .

If you search for “turkey, celery, [...]

Recipes will be up SOON!!!  Until then… Chag sameach / [...]

Sniff-sniff… Is that the smell of cooking?!

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

In preparation for the food-heavy holiday of Thanksgiving (US), I have been in the kitchen limbering up for the big event. I’ve researched and dreamt up some items for the sides and main. All the while trying out mini versions of those ideas – so far so good. I’ll post the following recipes soon: Mondo [...]

Heeere it is!

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

I decided to start blogging about food. If something yummy comes out of my kitchen, is seen out in my travels or in a culinary way piques my attention – I’ll put it here. Right now I’m just working on a new type of recipe for Rosh Hashanah, using the traditional apples and honey, but [...]
