Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
I tried making a chocolate tart back in college and it never set and ended up being chocolate soup. Regardless, we all ate it :P
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
A simple pasta dish is what I turn to when I want a real meal but am cooking for just me - olive oil, garlic, herbs, spinach, squash, and pine nuts.
Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
Being a vegetarian it's hard to pick my favorite meatless dish. But I guess that roasted vegetable anything (salad, rice, pasta) is up there.

Hamburger Mary's, a Gay-Friendly Burger Franchise
I used to live down the street from the one in West Hollywood and loved it! The fries were crispy, the veggie burger was tasty, and the mimosas during brunch were very generous. And, of course, drag queen bingo - one of my favorite things in the world!
