Broken Theme

I popped into WordPress after work to look around and see what was going on and noticed that my blog appears to be broken. I am not sure if it’s the theme or some other reason, but I did not plan to publish anything tonight. I thought I’d try a short blurb to [...]

A Kitchen Disaster

a href=”http://justopia.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/burned-bread.jpg”>
I’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not this week’s Name that Exotic Food! Nope. And it’s not charcoal. I can’t have a charcoal fire up here, remember? Speaking of this week’s Name that Exotic Food contest, we will hold the contest on Friday when I am next broadcasting.

Justopia still Cooks!!

Relief
As I noted in yesterday’s post, I was worried. I was wringing my hands about the season finale of The Next Food Network Star because one of the finalists was going to be doing a pilot of a show where he cooked “live on the internet.”
I was worried that it would be so [...]

What Do I Do Now??!!

Panic Time!!

Wow! My heart skipped a beat this morning and then it sank. I was surfing around, checking my blog stats, reading mail and just generally idling the morning away when I had a real shock. One of today’s comments alerted me to the fact that one of the contestant’s on the [...]

I’m So Excited

I just can’t hide it!
I’ve been so out of the world and everything that’s going on around me that I didn’t realize one of my all time favorite television shows was coming back for a 2nd season until I saw a brief flash about it on the AOL Welcome Screen yesterday morning.

An Apple a Week, and A Wonderful Surprise!

Busy
When I get a day off in the middle of the week, it ends up being a day for errands. That being said, I did not pay any attention to JTV and I didn’t give my dinner much thought either. I went to the Apple store to attend an iMovie workshop, but as [...]

I Flipped and Went to Tokyo

The Postman Commeth
Yaay for the Flip! Thank you iJustine!!

No, pceasy and ECV had nothing to do with the arrival of my shiny new FlipVideo. While I know they’d like to take credit for getting iJustine to get to the post office to get the camera in the mail, the truth is that it [...]

A DEElightful Summer Desert and A Prize Plea!

Ginger and Peach Cream Shortcakes

I could not resist. I had two ripe peaches and two ripe nectarines on the counter and thought I’d better use them before they went beyond ripe, which happens so often. I’d leafed through a Bon Apetit magazine and found this recipe and it was perfect for the fruit [...]

Practice Paella and a Tweet2Win Twitter Contest

Paella a la Valenciana

I am teaching a Paella class at the store tomorrow and it’s been years, decades even since I’ve put a Paella together. Actually, I wasn’t the creator of the Paellas I’ve eaten in my home. When I was married my husband was the Paella king so I was the eater [...]

Winners

Mangosteen

It’s late so I am not going to take a lot of time to write tonight, but I wanted to officially announce the winners of last night’s Name that Exotic Food contest.  I forgot to announce one of the rules, but I will institute that parameter next week — if you’ve won a contest within [...]

Mayonnaise SUCCESS and a JTV Visitor and the Outting of Justopia!

Done
You see, I just couldn’t put it to rest. By now you know my compulsive side, right? Yep, I see you all nodding and rolling your eyes. Well, if you tuned into Justopia Cooks last night for the Mediterranean feast you had the unique privilege of watching me melt down as I [...]

A Mediterranean Feast with a Bit of a Failure and Cuteness Personified! and a Justopia and Joe Show Reminder

50% Success
I picked up a recipe card at work the other day and decided to make the recipe. I had great success with the Shrimp with Almond Cream recipe this week and so I was anxious to get into the kitchen to get the Poulet Niçoise on the stove tonight. I thought I’d [...]

Post Cake. Or post head rolling. Or post revolution. And an Appropriate Recipe

Bastille Day

I didn’t mention Bastille Day last night when I posted the blog about Joe’s upcoming guest appearance on Justopia.com and Justin.tv where Joe will broadcast on his channel, Justin.tv/joeiniraq. I had something in mind, but thought it better to give his visit full attention and not dilute it with talk of the French Revolution, [...]

Mark Your Calendar!

Welcome Home Soldier!

I’m working late the next couple of nights. Actually, I worked late tonight and I’ll be working late tomorrow night as well, so I did not have anything interesting to write about, but I did want to make a schedule announcement for Thursday night.
