Tipsy Texan Cocktail Blog
Cocktail lovers and Austinites might want to check out Tipsy Texan for cocktail recipes and recommended drinking spots in Austin. Recipes over the last month are part of the Dale/David Project, inspired by the Julie/Julia Project but following Dale Degroff's The Craft of the Cocktail....In Memory of Fellow Food Blogger Sherry Cermak
Creator of the site What Did You Eat? Sherry Cermak died from a sudden heart attack July 20. She regaled us with her recipes for dark rye bread, chickpea patties, and ahi tuna salad—always flavored with her warm personality. Many of her readers (including A Fridge Full of Food, La Mia Cucina, and Pages, Pucks and Pantry) have rallied together to pay tribute to Sherry, a great voice in the food blogging community we will all miss....Incriminating Starbucks Blog: A Latte With a Shot of Heroin
According to 147xxxx, a blog written by a Starbucks employee, you should never take the trash out at Starbucks. Why? Because you might get pricked by heroin needles. This employee's diary-like web rant reveals all kinds of Starbucks horror stories, like discovering people inside the bathroom after more than an hour, covered in pills. Also, be wary of baristas replacing your requested skim milk order with the fattier whole milk, since they think you're too skinny. The site includes a medley of accounts, advice to other employees and quotes from customers, including this analogy: "Decaf? That’s like kissing my sister."...Fighting for Homemade Mayonnaise's Rights
It's tough to explain my mayo hatred. I like eggs, lemon juice, salt and vinegar individually. I even love dijon, another key player in the pale-yellow creamy amalgam. But all together as one happy family? Ick. I'm a "hold the mayo" kinda girl, but Nicole's photos over at Pinch My Salt make a pretty good case for the homemade version. She and Orangette, who wrote her Bon Appétit column this month on the ever-baffling condiment, have been all about whisking eggs to create their own Best Foods alternative. (Still skeptical on this end.) Erin Zimmer is a new media analyst who frequently writes for Washingtonian, DCist, and other D.C. publications....The Wandering Eater at Babbo
Two weeks ago I ate dinner at Mario Batali's Babbo with Tina Wong (aka The Wandering Eater) and two of our friends for a indulgent night resulting in food comas all around. If you've thought about going but have yet to make the month-in-advance reservation, read Tina's food porn-laden review and you'll probably change your mind. I have yet to write my review, but we're already making plans to go back, if that's any indication. My perfectly valid reason is that since we didn't have enough time to eat dessert, our meal wasn't complete. Also, I really want another bite of one of their pig’s foot “Milanese”, one of the most heavenly slabs of fat I've ever eaten. Previously...How to Make Labneh Balls
As I tend to like fresh cheese in spherical form, I was instantly drawn to Marianna's homemade labneh, a creamy, fresh, Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yogurt and preserved in olive oil. Follow Marianna's directions to make it at home; it's part of a typical Middle Eastern breakfast!

Even though I don't live in Seattle, I'm hooked on MSG150, a blog that aims to review every restaurant in Seattle's International District (Chinatown) with freakishly precise data (such as quality of chopsticks, length of waiting time for food, and fortunes received from post-meal fortune cookies), excessive photos, and humorous commentary. If all this information is too much for you, you can skim reviews just by looking at the number of chopsticks awarded to each restaurant from a scale of 1 ("dog food") to 5 ("great!"). The world needs more obsessively comprehensive food blogs like this one....Foodbeam's Vanilla Cheesecake
I wouldn't put cheesecake on my list of "Most Favorite Desserts," but when I saw Fanny's very vanilla cheesecake (cheesecake très vanille) on her blog Foodbeam, I got a craving. It doesn't help that Fanny's beautiful photos make me look at my own food and want to cry. After reading her description of the cake, I wanted to cry some more: "rich and thick yet feathery," "fragrant with vanilla," atop a milk chocolate crust with a "pleasing buttery aftertaste." Recreate the deliciousness in your home by following her recipe. I'll just continue to oogle her photos.

Tina Wong (aka The Wandering Eater) documents her meal at Momofuku Ko, chef David Chang's newest restaurant in New York City, with a liberal helping of food porn and mouthwatering descriptions. Her final verdict: "YOU MUST TRY IT!" Just grab one of those notoriously difficult online reservations and you're in!
