Is it all about the Benjamins?

Firstly, I want to let you kiddies know that I received an email plea for my expert dating advice. So you have that to look forward to next week at some point (of course, by then, my little dater in need may have moved on, but such is life).

In the meantime, check out Susan's post about dating people with no money.

Ground-Breaking Report

Boy, if I was the bitter sort, I'd gripe about the New York Post running an article called Your Lays Are Numbered, that included some of the most painfully obvious "news" ever printed -- and did so without making me laugh even once. But I'm not the bitter sort. Nope.

A New Cooking Challenge

The last time I involved myself in a cooking challenge, I had to bring some smackdown on New Yorkers who thought they knew their way around a pot of chili. Suckers. At any rate, I think I may have found a new challenge.



Speaking of chili, Homesick Texan is spilling the beans sharing her chili recipe this week (real Texas Red doesn't use beans). Why should you care? Because hers is the only chili I admit is superior to mine and because her blog is fucking spectacular in terms of food, photography and things Texan (including interviews with other Texans, like Liz Smith).
