Grant Dawson has a hot kitchen. Seriously. Only moments after shedding my sandals at the doorway of his quaint St. Paul abode, my clothing is soaked…above and below the waistline.
My interviewee seems totally cool, despite donning a long-sleeved shirt, heavy pants and a Twins baseball cap. Though I’m sweatin’ it, nervousness

I may be the best fed starving artist in cyberspace, but my wallet is as anorexic as they come. In six months, I made a whopping $2.40 from my Foodbuzz ad. Take into account the cost of hosting this site, plus all the food porn I provide to you, my darling peeps, and I’m

“Do you think I’m getting too thin?” I ask Dave one night as we spoon dispassionately in bed.
“Is this a trick question?” he asks.
“No, I’m serious.”
“I think you look hot,” he says, taking one of my butt cheeks in his hand. “You’re not thin, you’re slim. There’

Sometimes Man Eater goes looking for trouble. Sometimes trouble finds me. And sometimes, both happen simultaneously.
I’m sitting one table away from Diesel Jeans DJ, in direct sight of Playboy, and within striking distance of his S.O. How did this happen? In part by chance, in part by choice, and in part

I made the Foodbuzz Top 9 for the third time today for my strawberry cream cheese cupcake photo! I can't take credit for baking the photogenic pastry (thanks to Cake Eater bakery in Minneapolis for that), but if you missed my extended moaning about how delicious it was,

Man Eater is feeling back to normal…meaning misbehaving.
The day after the
breakup text exchange with Slump Buster, I went to Verizon to replace my broken phone (Ladies, forget the bars! If you want to meet sexy, single men, head to your nearest

Slump Buster has asked that I refrain from writing about him, a request I find surprising considering where I left off in the last post. You’d think he’d want me to finish that part of the story… (‘Cause if the recent hits are any indication, I know you readers do!)
Well, babe,

When Slump Buster left on his trip last week, I silently hatched a plan (no promises, not even to myself!) to ban all sugary substances from my diet for the duration of his absence. The goal: one week of completely clean eating. Dietary detox, if you will.

Scene: a Saturday night. Slump Buster’s bed. Me spooning him. He’s drifted off. I’m still awake. His fingers are intertwined with mine and clasped, fist-like, on his chest. I can feel his heart beating. No matter how much his body shifts and twitches, his grip on my hand holds steady. Every
