Taylor's Ham

where food and music and Taylor Swift collide

  • Hair We Are: Groupon-tacular

    I’m not the type of gal who pampers herself with frequent spa treatments. In fact, I’ve only had three mani-pedis in my lifetime and have never had my eyebrows done. (How could a city-dwelling twenty-something avoid such rites of passage? Easily. I don’t wear make up either.) When Groupon informed me that there was a Read more

  • Addition to Taylor’s Ham: “good restaurants”

    Do you love the Cheap Eats issue of New York magazine? How about TONY’s eats lists? I can’t live without them. (Or I can, but it’d take me longer to find the actually good places to dine. I neither have all the time or money in the world. Every hint helps.) That’s exactly why I’ve Read more

  • Tortilleria Nixtamal: Tortillas

    Sure, Whole Foods wheat tortillas are edible. Mission are preferred, in most cases, where taste and texture are prized. But you haven’t tried tortillas until you’ve been to Tortilleria Nixtamal in Corona, Queens. Buy ’em by the pound (14/lb.). They’ll warm your fingers as you day dream of their potential on the 7 train. I Read more

  • Rice Krispies Treats Twist

    A tempting recipe appeared in my google reader last week: Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats shared by as bad as it looks. Intriguing, I thought. I haven’t had a Rice Krispies treat in about 10 years, and neither have you (unless you are a child reading this blog, or have a child.) They took about 20 Read more

  • Revised Top 9 of 2009

    It has been brought to my attention that “Taylor Swift” was listed (explicitly) in at least three of my top 9 of 2009 yesterday posted on this blog. To some, this may seem unfair. Why am I not on the list when Taylor gets three spots? they’ll rhetorically state, yet earnestly ask. Here’s a revision. Read more

  • Top 9 of 2009: many and few

    This has been a memorable year for many reasons. Many of which are bad reasons. But some are good! Very good, I assure you, so I’m sharing a few of them here. And yes, many of them pertain to Taylor Swift. 9. Seeing Revolutionary Road with my mom on New Year’s Day. I was very Read more

  • When you think Tim McGraw, hope you think of me

    I’m still working on the uke. Some day I’ll creatively strum and knock your socks off. Until then… Notice: I don’t know the words to songs I sing sometimes. That’s why this video is, as some will say, charming. Read more

  • Too Late for You and Your White Van, Jon

    Ah, Halloween. This year, Furry and I have decided to go as Jon and Kate + 8 except … we’re leaving the kids at home. I thought I’d re-record “White Horse” and decided to make a loving tribute to Kate Gosselin on this day. And now, “White Van.” Enjoy. Read more

  • So Maybe I am a Princess…

    So inspired by Taylor, I am learning the ukulele via Fearless. I know, I know. I screw up a lot. I’m learning. Read more

  • WE HEART TAYLOR.

    I’M NOT A PRINCESS,THIS AIN’T A FAIRY TALE She is and it is. After the villain stole her crown, the fairy godmother returned it to her, unfettered and pristine. The fairy godmother stepped back to watch the princess take her bow. No better ending than that, right? Kanye West and his alcohol swagger stepped onstage Read more
