Hiding this sort of thing can only lead to trouble, so I must 'fess up. This is a friend of mine's operation, & she asked me to "like" this.

Unlike pink salt fan McArdle, my friend does this for a living (Produces both a product & a service, that is.) So it's perfectly OK to call for fine food at your next SoCal event.
They did.
About us
McMegan is awful, just awful, but at least she's no longer employed by The Atlantic. Still, no one can read her every day and live, so we've all but given up trying. Let's just be glad her upwards failure has leveled off.
Posts here will likely remain few and far between, as will my tweets. M. is still at his place and twitter and now also Whiskey Fire, and Clem maintains well deserved alumnus privileges.

for some reason Google slowly deletes votes from random polls. I think they're trying to rig the results for Jebus. You know Google, always going on about the Good Book and His word...

It's not the appreciation of fine food I object to; it's the insufferable, condescending, ignorant way that Megan writes about it.
That's because Megan has a way of describing common recipes as though her family invented them, or as though she knows how to make simple dishes like pancakes or eggs or bacon properly. Cooking is this wonderfully creative, diverse activity, and she turns it into something small and petty.
see: her recipe for scrambled eggs
oh right. eggses

She's like that obnoxious lady twit from Posh Nosh. Her recipes are overly-complicated when they needn't be and bland and simplified where they could be flavorful and interesting.
I can vaguely recall Megan posting a recipe for marinara sauce, scolding her readers for using the jarred variety. Her recipe was more bland than Ragu.
Criminy, I think I remember a "how to make pancakes" one. Oh, my once-beautiful mind.
But...but...her cucumber sandwich with herbed cream cheese recipe?!?!
"condescending, ignorant" is perfect. She needs to be a snobby foodie to fit in with her peers, but she doesn't actually know much about food.
I like how in the scrambled egg post she brags about saving money by making yogurt at home, and being thrifty using chicken carcasses to make soup. Then she recommends you use a bag of mixed, prechopped vegetables and store bought sauce in her stir fry recipe.
"Divide into portions. Don't ask me "how big"?--don't you know how much you eat? But generally, about 6-8 ounces." The tone of this line totally reminds me of Herb's Cooking for One: http://drboli.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/cooking-for-one/
M. - you can repair the damage done from Megan's pancake recipe by revisiting Susan's fabulous take-down of it.
Bonus - after superbly pointing out everything that was wrong with the recipe, one of McMeg's knights in shining armor shows up to defend her by claiming Susan is just jealous because Megs is the bees knees. Or something.
