The Cynical Cook: Hot and Hot Fish Club - Birmingham
http://www.cynicalcook.com/2012/03/hot-and-hot-fish-club-birmingham.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. Hot and Hot Fish Club - Birmingham. For the sake of my sanity, I went with the last option if only because it would finally give me a chance to stop by Hot and Hot Fish Club. Oven roasted and served with McEwan and Sons grits, rainbow chard, and rich jus, the sweetbread was a picture of lightly charred decadence. Not wanting to leave Hot and Hot Fish Club without trying a little seafood, the night’s simple grilled fish, cobia seemed like a fine choice. Besting the espresso, the ch...

The Cynical Cook: November 2012
http://www.cynicalcook.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. It’s hard to know where to begin with Sean Brock and Husk. Like most people interested in food, it’s been rather difficult to ignore the press he and his devotion to southern heritage cuisine have been receiving. It’s not often that a chef wins a James Beard award and is covered by Steingarten. The New York Times. Wins best new restaurant from Bon Appetit. And even gets a few plugs from a little Charleston based outfit called Garden and Gun ( here. Normally the bread is a for...

The Cynical Cook: October 2012
http://www.cynicalcook.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. Shabu and Shabu - Atlanta. In what has become a running joke, I first suggested Honey Pig, but I decided something else was in order. Remembering a review. From Chloe Morris of Chow Down Atlanta. I suggested that we give Korean hot pot a go. Sacrificing her time and comfort, Jennifer agreed and we began the drive to Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. From Crazy Korean Cooking. Nestled between the enoki mushroom and the greens was a half of a hot dog. Maybe Shabu and Shabu decided...

Monsters in the Closets: May 2012
http://monstersintheclosets.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monsters in the Closets. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. I'm taking a break from ranting about social faux pas to announce that as of this week, I have officially lost my nursing spread! After two years, I am rid of the eight pounds I gained in my first year as a nurse. How did I do it? Another post is forthcoming, but the secret for me was: more exercise, less alcohol, more fruits and vegetables, less junk. Sorry if you were hoping for something groundbreaking. It started when a friend pinned this recipe. 1 Tbsp...

Monsters in the Closets: Relieved
http://monstersintheclosets.blogspot.com/2013/01/relieved.html
Monsters in the Closets. Thursday, January 10, 2013. A photo of a station wagon sitting in the Museum of Natural History is a pretty good metaphor for what I've been driving. Four hours into the five hour drive to my parents' house in Alabama, my car started making a funny noise. Dave Ramsay says it best: "If you live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.". Quick disclaimer: Dave Ramsay would in no way endorse my actions- he would suggest I fix the car, then save $500 per month until I c...

Monsters in the Closets. Friday, December 30, 2011. The Best Monsters of 2011. Okay, it's a little self-indulgent, and kind of like when your favorite sit-com cheats you out of a new episode by making one that's a big, cheesy compliation of old episodes, but I couldn't resist putting together a list of my favorite posts from 2011. I'm also including some photos, because you guys seem to like those. Favorite travel posts: Unplugged;. Ten Things I Learned in Haiti. Mural,Dublin, Ireland. Cedar Key, Florida.

Monsters in the Closets: June 2012
http://monstersintheclosets.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monsters in the Closets. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Who's Going With You? Image credit: BrittneyBush, Flickr. The other day I was talking to someone who told me he rarely goes to movies anymore because most of his friends are married and he doesn't have anyone to go with. I thought it was weird because I've been going to movies by myself for years- you're not supposed to talk during the movie anyway, and it's a great way to spend a Wednesday afternoon when I'm off and everyone I know is at work,. Before m...

Monsters in the Closets. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Ten Things I Learned in Haiti (and some photos). My favorite Haiti photo- looking out toward Fort Gary (at the top of the tall mountain). 1 Sometimes the poorest people are the most generous. 2 You can diagnose and treat patients without labs or radiology, but you have to use your hands, your brain, and your ears to do it. 4 Haiti is the ugliest and most beautiful place I have ever seen. 8 Roosters don't just crow at dawn. Our waiting area at 6am.

Monsters in the Closets: Trusting in Abundance
http://monstersintheclosets.blogspot.com/2013/01/trusting-in-abundance.html
Monsters in the Closets. Thursday, January 17, 2013. I have to be honest: I've been worrying about money lately. The smart part of my brain knows that my finances are in good shape,. In the middle of all of this, Heifer International. Called to say that they didn't meet their holiday donation goals, and could I be generous one more time? I love this version best because of the young boy. As a child, I had a story book that told this parable from the boy's perspective: his mother sends him off with th...

Monsters in the Closets: July 2012
http://monstersintheclosets.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monsters in the Closets. Friday, July 13, 2012. Every Day for a Month. I'm pleased to announce that I FINALLY finished reading. Project by Gretchen Rubin. I started it in 2010 and finished it about 2 hours before a book club discussion at Amber and Billy's house on Monday, proving once again that I can't finish anything without a deadline. To help you out.). So in the beginning I thought I would never attempt a project of that scope. The fact is that I have a pretty short attention span and I get ove...
