Spanglish is a very lame movie, but it has a great foodie moment, where Adam's Sandler's character prepares the best-looking BLT-egg sandwich ever. It was created by chef Thomas Keller, of Bouchon and French laundry fame. Watch the vid to learn how to make one for yourself tonight!

Food log: Thursday, September 1

This was a totally exciting and hectic day. I'm working on a big presentation for tomorrow and am too busy to breath. I moved to a new office. We had our monthly meeting in an secret location that turned out to be the future space of more awesome Sid Lee ateliers. I missed aquagym because I had to work late, got home an hour ago and I'm writing this under the influence of a stiff Cuba Libre. Yippee! (hic!)

On Wednesdays at Sid Lee, we have a new tradition. Employees are encouraged to share recipes they love and our chefs prepare them for us all. Today was a traditionnal Easter meal from the grand-mother of a pair of cousins who work with us. They served ham, boiled potatoes, a yummy sauce, green beans, a salad and some sort of monster pink dessert that was way too sweet, yet totally awesome. Just look at it!

Food log: Tuesday, September 29

So it's official: the chefs at work are fattening us up for some kind of ritualistic sacrifice. Or they are just really nice. But more on that later, let's start with breakfast.

Dessert was a pilfered cupcake from the bistro

It was awesome. The icing had real strawberries in it. It counts as a fruit serving, right?

Today's snack from the bistro was Rice Krispies treats.

Post-pool dinner was pizza

Not pictured: vegetables. Because I suck and was to tired to cook any.

And industrial dessert was also consumed in the form of a mini ice cream sandwich
