Mrs. Sarcasm

I’m a 30 something, oh fuck, who I am trying to kid? I’m in my late 30’s. I was raised as a corporate brat (yup it’s a thing) and I have lived all over North America.  I will always consider myself a New Yorker.   I attended college and lived in that wonderful concrete jungle for many years. It’s truly my favorite place in the world and I miss it every day.  You can take the girl out of the city but you can’t take the city out of the girl! Currently I live in Los Angeles and depending on the day I don’t mind it.  I’m not necessarily talking shit about LA, or I am I?  I live under a mile to the beach…so it could be a hell of a lot worse.

Unfortunately it took some time to refine my culinary skills. My first attempt at cooking was making jello. Instead of placing the jello in the fridge, I put it in the freezer. Yup, I froze jello. But in my own defense I think I was using good time management skills. I figured maybe the freezer would speed up the process. To this day it’s still an ongoing joke in my family.  Speaking of family, my love of food and entertaining all started with mama sarcasm. My mom is excellent chef, hostess and is witty as shit!

I have a true passion for food, cooking, entertaining, travelling and of course drinking. I’m not sure why I decided to start this blog. Maybe it’s because after reading other food blogs I thought shit I can do that. I guess will just have to wait and see! So I invite you to come along with me on my sarcastic journey in the kitchen!

I apologize in advance for my potty mouth, but if my mother hasn’t been able to stop me from swearing I’m guessing no one can at this point. This is truly not yo’ mama’s food blog!

Disclosure: At an early age I was diagnosed with a learning disability and dyslexia, so if there are typos in this blog…you can blame it on my brain. I figured by disclosing this information you wouldn’t be quick to make fun…because that wouldn’t be nice!

Mr. Sarcasm 

My husband, well I’m not going to tell you his age as I would like to live to see tomorrow.  Mr. Sarcasm was born and raised in Canada, the great white north, eh!  If you haven’t been blessed to know a Canadian you should be aware their extremely funny & very sarcastic. Have you ever read any of Ryan Reynolds tweets? First there hilarious and secondly, yes, Ryan Reynolds is Canadian. Sorry America we can’t claim him as our own.

Mr. Sarcasm is actually a culinary school graduate. Currently he is an executive in the film industry… it’s a long story.  Mr. Sarcasm culinary training has really helped me advance my level of cooking. Though I wouldn’t actually admit it to his face as we both aren’t necessarily big on the whole admitting “your right” thing. Most days I love him but I must admit there are some rare days I love to hate him. Don’t worry he would say the exact same thing about me! Mr. Sarcasm is my best friend, love of my live and partner in crime.

Sarcastic-ass Dog

The true love of our life is our 70 pound English Bulldog named Merv. Even our dog is an epicurean. I have witnessed Merv receive a Milk Bone from a neighbor and he literally spit-it-out in disgust and then proceeded to roll his eyes. Apparently his palate is too refined. He’s incredibly particular about his food, or just down right snotty. He would never eat a potato chip but he would literally take off your hand for a bite of tilapia. Yup, he’s our boy.
