  1. Foodblogging Day at Blogher

    July 28, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    I am in the foodblogging session at Blogher. I am in the company of all sorts of great foodbloggers! Both the panel and attendees. I am so excited and will link soon but there is so much to listen to…from the power of food blogging, why food blog + copyright and plagiarism and really interesting comments.

  2. Blogher Cocktail Party

    July 27, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    Soon, soon soon, the first of the Blogher cocktail parties. I meant to have a nice retro appetizer or two but the busy-ness of the week interfered. So stick some cocktail franks on a toothpick with an olive, roast them over some sterno. But before you do…tell me your favorite retro appetizers. I know the flaming cabbage posted previously is popular. (really…people come here all the time for it.) What did you always love at parties that no one seems to make anymore?

  3. My Birthday

    July 24, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    My birthday is coming up in about a month. That leaves plenty of time for someone to get me this: Personalized Jello Mold. Two would be ideal. Think of the great pictures I could take of retro jell-o molds that actually said retro food on them. Of course, I need one with my name too…because nothing ever has my name on it.

  4. Potato Salad

    July 22, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio

    This is what I have made this morning (well other than caramel rolls)…a potato salad to go with dinner that doesn’t have mayo.

    1 5 lb. bag new potatoes
    1 small onion
    1/2 cup parsley flakes or chopped fresh parsley
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/2 cup red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon tarragon
    1/2 teaspoon dill
    salt and pepper

    Boil potatoes in skins (because I am lazy-if you want to peel them do) until tender. Chop onion finely.  Quarter potatoes. Mix onion and parsley in with them. Mix remaining ingredients together in measuring cup or bowl. Pour over potatoes. Stir together. Refrigerate.
