This Week in History at Casual Kitchen:

On the Earthquake in Santiago (February 2010)
Almost exactly one year ago, right here in Santiago, Chile, I was caught in one of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history. Suffice it to say it was an experience I never want to repeat--but also an experience for which I'm profoundly grateful.

How to Enjoy Wine On A Budget (February 2009)
Many frugal food enthusiasts believe you can't enjoy the pleasures of wine without spending a lot of money. And many wine snobs can't bring themselves to enjoy wine unless they spend a lot of money. Both are wrong. Read this post to see why.

One of CK's all-time most popular posts, containing what I consider to be the internet's best and easiest granola recipes.

Paul Prudhomme's Barbecued Shrimp: The Most Glorious Meal So Far This Year (February 2007)
