Cooking:
So, last weekend, law school besty texted me with a simple question: what's a fun thing to bring to a Super Bowl party that's not too intense as far as cooking? That's right up my alley, of course. When I told her about this bean dip, she asked if it was on the blog.
The answer, of course, was NO because I have been remiss in my blogging. I suck.
This dip doesn't. And it's easy. A layer of beans. A layer of salsa. A layer of corn and onions, then a layer of cheese. You could add more layers, I don't care, but put the beans on the bottom and the cheese on the top to seal in the goodness, and you'll be good to go.
I like this hot, because everything sort of oozes together and gets all creamy. I've topped this with avocado and sour cream, in the past, and it's wonderful. And I haven't, still wonderful. And perfect for the Super Bowl.
Reading:
I am becoming well-versed in the snark of Simon Doonan, and I love every minute of it. His latest, The Asylum, is no exception. He is funny, he tells great stories about himself and the wonderful world of fashion, and he seems to know EVERYBODY which I love. It's like having a best friend who's friends with famous people but with whom you are not actually friends. For someone like me, who is actually a friend of the friendless, this is perfect.
Wearing:
The H and I are going to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in a couple of weeks, and I need these:

These will be perfect for meeting my NEW best friend, Alex Guarnaschelli, and brunching at Tongue & Cheek. I can't wait. The countdown is on (14 days, for those who are counting).
