Lemon Tartlet And The Dust Bunnies

A tartlet’s adventures in the kitchen, dodging an overenthusiastic kitten, an overly tall man who thinks he’s funny, and the ever present dust bunnies. Somehow, the food gets cooked.

The Not Only Breakfast Club : Nerd Food

Posted by lemontartlet on March 30, 2008

Each of us is a baker, a chef, a… Sorry about that. This is to officially announce my attempt to start a food attempt, which if I’m lucky a handful of friends will humour me enough to try! It started because Nikki and me were having a perfectly normal conversation about whether or not Dulce De Leche is a nerdy food or not (it is, it gets picked last for dodgeball and uses an inhaler). That led to whether or not food can be nerdy, which made me make this event. Y’all with me so far? A want to try to figure out nerd food gave me the idea to start a clique based food challenge. Jocks, nerds, preps…

All y’all need to do is come up with a food that’s nerdy. It doesn’t matter why, whatever reason you can use to call it nerdy or nerd related works! Pizza and bawls is LAN party nerdy, a dish made by mathematical formula is nerdy. Whatever y’all want to do, make it and let me know about it by sending me an email at lemontartlet(at)yahoo(dot)com so I can read your entry and include it in the round up. The date for entries to be entered is April 19th. There ain’t any prizes because I’ve never been good at chosing one dish over the other, it’s a little fun is all.

If y’all have fun, let me know and next month a new clique can be chosen! Any suggestions for cliques is nice.

Nerd Food : A Silly Event

Posted by lemontartlet on March 3, 2008

Talking to Nikki is always fun, half because there’s no telling when one of us is gonna say something that proves we got no good sense. Today it was me, and in a conversation about dulce de leche  I called it a nerd. There’s a very good reason for this, but I have no idea what it is so after pointing out that it’s very bad at dodge ball I had an idea! (That should frighten y’all) Got to wondering what “nerd food” was and if it even made any sense, so I decided to host an event to find out what y’all think about it!

 Is nerd food pizza and mountain dew at the LAN party? Is it a cupcake made with Bawls? Is it one of those neat science meets food trends? Be it a nerdy cafeteria lunch or a meal based on a video game it counts. By April 5th (it’s my B-Day), come up with something that means nerd food to you and a reason why and write it up! Send me an email to let me know if any of y’all were really silly enough to try it, and give me a link to your nerdy creations. Bonus points if it’s wearing glasses.
