Flashback: Interviewing Giada De Laurentiis and Mispronunciation Pet Peeves
It was 2011 and I was head deep in work because I had two jobs at the time: my regular newspaper job AND I was also maintaining the food channel for the now defunct Tree.com. Although I was stressed out trying to find balance between the two, they're both a part of what I love... Continue Reading →
Completely Out of My Element: Anime Conji’s Mochi Cafe
Attending comic conventions aren't new to me. For nearly two decades I've been both an attendee and exhibitor in San Diego as well as around the United States. I know the difference between Marvel and DC characters and on geekier level, pre- and post- Crisis continuity. But when confronted with anything anime-related, it's all Greek... Continue Reading →
Retro Television and Six Million Dollar Man Cocoa-Nut Cookies
Last year, Paul and I made a commitment to update our television set. This became even more apparent when we had to move the behemoth from our rental to our house.

Paul is a Bigfoot fan and is terrified thrilled with all this exposure. I wonder if the... Continue Reading →
Ode to James Bond: Steak Smothered and Shot Twice
When I think about James Bond, his eating habits never comes to mind. Instead, I think of international espionage, double agent seductresses and deus ex machina gadgets to get you out of any certain-death conundrum. But little did I know that in the Bond books written by Ian Fleming starting in 1953, food played a part... Continue Reading →
Halloween Costumes: Food Couture
Halloween has slowly moved from being solely a kid’s dress-up holiday to one where grownups actively participate. It’s especially evident when perusing any of the popup Spirit of Halloween stores; the adult costume area usually beats the childrens' costumes two to one. If my analytics are correct, a popular costume this year will be Louise... Continue Reading →
Food Jewelry Fashion + Giveaway
It's hard to admit — I'm not much into fashion nowadays. It's hard to keep up with the latest styles and aside from a choice few pieces I like to update every season, I'm not really into keeping up with trends… unless that trend is food jewelry. And my fascination started at the age of... Continue Reading →
