Rebroadcast: Calling All Thanksgiving Foodie Photographers
This year, I’ve had more than one friend or associate tell me that they’re planning on cooking something that sounds downright fantastic this Thanksgiving. (Some of you know who you are.

Here are a few highlights from our evening. A [...]
The 2008 Fabulous Food Blogger Awards
Wow. The Hungry Mouse is just about 4 months old! A little housekeeping and a small speech I’m kind of stunned and very touched by the really nice response I’ve gotten so far. I’m also a little boggled by the ridiculous number of wonderful folks I’ve met along the way. (Hey, I’m a city girl, [...]
Cider Cooked Cornish Game Hens with Apple and Bacon
I love cornish game hens because they’re so sweet and small. They cook quickly. And with very little effort, they transform into a ridiculously impressive-looking main course.
