Was looking in the refrigerator this morning to decide what to eat and noticed the large amount of products that had expired. My roommate had an overly large amount of yogurt that had gone bad, a liquified bag of salad and soda that had gone flat. As for me, seems like I was the biggest... Continue Reading →
Columbian treat
While I was in Detroit, my roommate was in Columbia and brought me back a small container of dulce de cafe. She told me to treat it the same as dulce de leche and to spread it on crackers or toast. Ingredients include milk, sugar and real Columbian coffee beans. I'm going to save this... Continue Reading →
Traveling and food adventures
This sort of follows up on my last post on food while traveling. My travels are usually for fun and throw out all common sense regarding how healthy I should eat out the window. Where's the fun if I stick to my same food regime at home?But this time around I didn't go international but... Continue Reading →
Kyoto shabu vs. San Diego shabu
The defining moment in Kyoto last year was the shabu shabu. I don't recall the restaurant or the name of it. But I did remember I was one of two people (the other one being my boyfriend) who spoke fluent English.The waiter spoke broken English at best. We fumbled our way ordering our drinks but...

A brief rundown of what we ate included carne asada chips, lobster burritos, carne asada tacos, carnitas (pork) burritos, scallop tacos and loads and loads... Continue Reading →

Second is that I rely heavily on checking allrecipes.com and the Food section in the paper. The paper source is easy to explain since I... Continue Reading →
Shameful!
Hinted to my other half that I really, really wanted a heart shaped boxed full of chocolates for Valentine's Day. Specified the more elaborate the box, the better! Never received a heart-shaped box in the past and just desperatedly wanted the container. The chocolates were so yummy that soon it started to dwindle. Priorities changed... Continue Reading →

Current food obsession
I should have bought boxes upon boxes of the new Frosted Mini Wheats that include Vanilla Créme (notice it's créme not cream). At Albertson's they are now going for about $3.99 a box rather than 2 for $3 -- doesn't help that I go through two boxes a week which can really add up. But... Continue Reading →
Lost my appetite
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Naked? NEW YORK (Reuters) - The diners arrived at a nice Manhattan restaurant on a cold February night and stripped off coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They didn't stop there. Skirts, shirts, pants, underwear and stockings all ended up stashed in plastic bags by the bar as the patrons got... Continue Reading →
