The Skinny Pig is going global tomorrow. I don't mean my site – that probably won't happen for another 5,124 years – but I AM going on vacation to Costa Rica. Happy happy joy joy! In an effort to escape the cold weather, my friend Ange and I decided to […]

World Nutella Day
How did I miss this?? I'm very sad that I missed the 5th annual World Nutella Day this past Saturday, February 5th. I didn't get to submit my own recipe and I have quite a few. DRAT! Perhaps I can whip up a batch of Nutella and banana wontons or […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at Zengo
Alright here it is: restaurant week dinner at a "Nuevo-Latino/Asian-Fusion" restaurant. Hmmm. Yes, I didn't know what to expect either, but I was super-intrigued by the menu and really enjoyed it. Spotty, semi-rude service aside, the atmosphere was cool (they have a sweet bar area downstairs too) and the food […]
Sunday Italian Feast
When someone asks me what I miss most about having a boyfriend, I respond with "Sunday dinner with all the pasta, sauce, meatballs and wine." Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that my last three boyfriends were Italian. Perhaps not a typical response, but it's so true – I'm […]
Restaurant Week Lunch at Devi
I rarely get the opportunity to go to Restaurant Week lunches, so I was pretty happy to visit Devi on Friday and see what it's all about. I pass by it all the time and the smell of spices waft outside onto 18th street; fortunately on the inside the smell […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at Steak Frites
I still have a few to go for RW, but believe it or not, this one might be my favorite so far…or a close tie with Devi (stay tuned for that one). I mean it's steak and fries. What's not to like? Considering my dinner date (Jess) was a little […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at Kittichai
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! That will be the theme of this post. Keep reading…it will make sense. For my second Restaurant Week dinner, I chose Kittichai, the popular Thai place in the Thompson Hotel in Soho. Pretty typical interior – lots of bamboo, koi fish, floating tealight candles on lilypads […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at SD26
View from 2nd floor – event on the first This place has been on my list for quite some time, so I was excited to go for Restaurant Week; in fact, it was my first Restaurant Week dinner so far, and I was pretty happy with it. I wouldn't say […]
Crunchy Chocolatey Cereal-Nut Mix
Ok, so I haven't come up with a brilliant name for it yet, but that's basically what it is. I was bored/wired last night and I decided I wanted a little shnack. Yes, a shnack. Maybe something a little salty and also a little sweet. I looked around in my […]
Good Food and Bad Service at Lupes East LA Kitchen
Never having been to LA, I was really excited about trying this place for a few reasons: it's LA-inspired Mexican food (which supposedly has some of the best Mexican food), it's cheap, and lastly, I just love Mexican and could eat it every day. Lindsay and I braved the bitter […]
