Without Sex and the City, the Cosmopolitan would not be the wildly popular cocktail it is today. Created in the early 80s, the drink became well known because Carrie frequently ordered the rosy-hued concoction. At the Sex and the City marathon that Fab and I are hosting, we'll definitely be pouring Cosmopolitans.

We'll also have tons of pink champagne and sparkling water on hand. To see the cosmo recipe, we'll use, read more

What do you get when you combine crispy, salty chips with spicy, melty cheese and fresh, flaky crab? Some amazingly delicious nachos! Between the newly-picked crab, the homemade pico de gallo, and the pepper-jack béchamel, these nachos are more gourmet than ghetto — who said Mexican food can't be high end?

The recipe calls for blue corn tortilla chips, but any tortilla chip would work. I used frozen corn — make sure it's thawed, you don't want soggy nachos — because fresh isn't in season. These nachos were incredibly tasty and I'm definitely making them again. To look at the recipe, read more

Sharon — who was affectionately called Barbie by her fellow Hell's Kitchen contestants — was this week's eliminated chef. It was a "first time in Hell's Kitchen history" moment when Ramsay kicked Sharon to the curb because she was not up for elimination. Two other girls — Jen and Christina — were on the chopping block, but since Gordon didn't believe in Sharon or her culinary skills, she was the lucky one sent home. To see what Sharon has to say about her time in Hell's Kitchen, read more

Do you make a mean grilled cheese sandwich? Think you've got what it takes to win the Annual National Grilled Cheese Invitational? Well then you better hurry: Registration ends this Sunday, April 13.

The annual melted cheese event is being held this year in Los Angeles on April 19. There will be up to 100 competitors vying for title of the big cheese. If you're not a sandwich maker, then show up and instantly become part of the judging panel. The sandwiches are handed out to the audience, who then vote for their faves. The categories are: Missionary (white bread, orange cheese, and butter), Spoons (any bread, butter, cheese), Kama Sutra (any bread, butter, cheese, and other ingredients), and Honey Pot (same as Kama Sutra, but sweet).

Event founder and organizer Tim Walker said:

The 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational will be mankind's greatest achievement since the invention of fire! This year we will have more cheese than ever before. More competitors, more sammiches, more everything!

It sounds like it's going to be a fantastic cheese voyage. If I lived in the area, I would definitely find a way to attend. How about you? Are you going to go to the Grilled Cheese Invitational?
