Top Ten Posts with Casey Kasem

Okay, no Casey Kasem. But I've combed through the past twelve months of posts and found about 80 that I really liked to go back and read over and over again, at least for a little while. I winnowed that list down to a final 10 - kind of like American Top 40, but with posts from this insignificant little blog. They are in chronological order (in other words, I was too damn lazy to decide which of these I liked the best):

1. One of my earliest reviews, about one of many trips to one of my favorite restaurants, hands down - the Helmand. (9/23/06)

2. Vanilla. Chocolate. Several pounds of butter, milk and powdered sugar. No, get your mind out of the gutter - it was just my all-night fudge-a-thon. (12/06/06)

3. More fudge, from Jolene Sugarbaker the Trailer Park Queen. My first exposure to La Jolene was her pinto bean fudge. (12/10/06)

4. A funny (to me at least), bitchy look back at one of my, er, less favorite eating experiences, the Grill Art Cafe. (01/06/07)

5. Spa-ghe-e-tti Toooowwwwnnn! (the original poster took down this YouTube gem, but it's now up on Comedy Central's website. Watch it before it's gone!!!) (02/23/07)

6. I must like Les Stroud, Survivorman, now in its second season. I suddenly have a hankerin' for campfire-roasted Kalahari scorpion. (04/26/07)

7. Okay, upon reflection it's not very good, but I still liked Cafe Hon enough (dissents noted). At least it's better than Grill Art. Which doesn't say a lot. (05/06/07)

8. Any readers who haven't been here yet? This is Baltimore. This is madness! This...Is...HONFEST!!!!! (say that like Gerard Butler in 300) (06/10/07)

9. My own reflections on the blogger-induced whinings of one onion-skinned Mario Batali. (06/28/07)

10.
Artscape in haiku -
Because Artscape moved me, man.
Read it for yourself.
