We all eat. A dietitian will tell you it’s simple: Mix together water with carbohydrates, protein and a little fat, and you’ve got  a complete meal. Yet for many cultures, it’s so much more complex (and fun) than that. Take the bland, ho-hum potato. You sure don’t want to eat it raw, but wow: Human ingenuity means we’ve managed to make it one of our most-craved and most-used foods. And don’t get us started when it comes to chocolate. Or strawberries. Or steak. Or cupcakes. Or pasta…

Junebug
verbs and vignettes

holycrapit’sjunealready. i think june is my very favorite month. it just so happens to be birthday month. does anyone else get as excited for their birthday as they did when they were 13 years old? i think birthdays should include things like singing, and chocolate cake for breakfast, and hugs + laughter + lots of time with family, and ice cream cake, and any dinner you want. [we always got to pick our birthday dinner. and one year, when my mama was sick, i was allowed to pick the topping on the pizza. haha.] so far for birthday month [because last year, i succeeded in spreading out the festivities for an entire month], one of my coworkers surprised me with bagels. they were the chewiest and most delicious bagels ever. i went for the sesame. then i splurged and drove out to my favorite italian place, and just ordered a double house salad. their gorgonzola balsamic vinaigrette makes me swoon. i also treated myself to a trip to whole foods. i can walk around in that store for hours

Peanut chicken
Tiny Tim's Treats

So this specific meal is great for those who desire or crave the Asian flare or even just a hearty and cheap meal. Warning: This meal does contain nut, dairy, and wheat products (for those with allergies, I am apologizing because it is DELISH) and has many steps but so worth the time. So here is what you need: Flour (runs around 3-4 $), one egg (great for those who can only afford a dozen for 2$), canola oil (or canola oil kitchen spray 3-4$), white rice (this dish can be made with any rice, I prefer white 3-4$), 1 cheaper chicken breast “mentioned in the last post” (Tyson’s frozen bag of chicken breasts 5-7$), two teaspoons of butter (4$ for a pack of 4 sticks), veggies (canned veggies are always the cheapest but, in this instance I used left over frozen veggies in a cream sauce, note: not ideal for this taste selection steamed veggies would complement it the best, 1$ a can or 3-4$ a bag), and of course the main staple in this dish, peanut butter (either creamy or cr

Private Selection Taste of Summer
BzzAgent Declinism

Food campaign! My favorite kind! I do about half my grocery shopping at Kroger, so I’m no stranger to the Private Selection label. This campaign centers around picnic fare – ground beef, chips, ice cream, pie, yum! What came in the kit? A bag of kettle-cooked Sea Salt and Black Pepper potato chips, and coupons, coupons, coupons! Of course, kettle-cooked chips are vastly superior to all other kinds. I’ve been a fan since my first taste of Cape Cod Potato Chips during a stay on Cape Cod twenty years ago, but I love that they’ve become so popular. Shelling out $4 or more for a small bag of chips is not really worth it for me. The Private Selection brand has everything I’m looking for – huge crunch, tasty seasonings, and at a price I think is reasonable. The coupons granted me a free pound of ground beef, 6″ pie, and a discount on ice cream (which ended up costing only about a quarter, since it was on sale!) I haven’t been eating much ground

I didn’t know that there was an official song for the Diamond Jubilee. It tickled me to imagine the Queen sitting in her car with her iPhone, blaring out the music from the back seat and singing along with Prince Philip on their way to the Epsom Derby this morning. It’s a catchy and uplifting (cheesy) song. I can just picture Her Majesty emptying her lungs and belting out the chorus…and swaying in time, maybe waving the royal handbag above her head, both white-gloved hands in the air. Must be a nice change from hearing “God Save the Queen” for the last 60 years. I was wondering if the song was a gift from the Queen to her subjects, but turns out it will be on sale and some of the proceeds will go to the Official Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust. What isn’t there a song for? What’s the official Olympic anthem going to be? I haven’t been keeping an ear out for it. I hope that it’s good. But I had better step away from the compute

[Food Trip] Stop Over Pizza
luvnat

After a few yeas of not meeting my online friends, I texted them if they were available on a Saturday to meet during my Manila visit a few weeks back. Luckily most of them are available. We chose to meet at Stop Over Pizza since its one of my friend’s resto. I have read a lot of good reviews about their pizza’s. Stop Over Pizza offers unique pizza flavors that makes you feel like you have been touring around the world. To start with, they have flavors from korea, Italy, Japan, America and not to forget the Philippines. Stop Over Pizza started by opening a stall on Mercato a year ago, they also had joined the Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test as one of the participants, they were among the top choice of bloggers and foodies who had joined the Ultimate Taste test. It was late last year that they had decided to open their resto along Maria Clara St. Banawe, Quezon City. We ordered the half Bulgogi Pizza n half Terimayo Pizza. Bulgogi Pizza ((beef marinated in bulgogi sauce

Ice cream at the seaside

Now that the British summer has finally arrived (and stays we hope!) get yourself down to the beach at Broadstairs and treat yourself a delicious ice cream from Morellis. The first of this now franchised ice cream chain opened in 1932 in Broadstairs. Morellis offer delicious homemade gelato in a range of gorgeous flavours. Now the gelato is so popular, Harrods have a Morrellis stand in their food hall!

Sometimes when you’re farting around on the internet neat things pop up and they can be so interesting that you think maybe you should make it a hobby. For example, I thought I was going to make a bunch of stencil art t-shirts when I was 16 because at the time it was the coolest and most hipsterish thing to hit livejournal. How many shirts did I end up stenciling? One and it was only a test. That’s how I ended up with two tupperware tubs filled with bento boxes and accessories. Thanks, internet! J-List must make a killing off dumb white girls like me. http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics I’ve had this Japanese hardware for many years now and I think I’ve only made ten bento boxes total. I think about bento all the time (it’s more like a haunting). Mostly negative thoughts like, why’d you waste so much money??? But then sometimes I think I should get back into it. Stop being such a quitter bitch at everything. So my goal is to make one awesome b

Health+money= raw vegan
thatveggielife

Okay, okay, I know what your thinking ” Raw vegan really?” Yes really, I told myself that since it’s very hot outside and I’m going to be going out and moving a lot I should eat raw. So yesterday at the mall with my mom we started talking about my mom’s health and about her feeling bad. So I pulled up being a raw vegan and she loved the idea she said she looked up some stuff about things in your body and how do they relate to her problems. And going raw was something the paper she read implied. I mean all that oil and too much fat isn’t good for your body especially if your body can’t get rid of it or has no use for it, it can cause a lot of problems. So my mom asked me if we did do this would I cook all the  meals and stuff and clean up ( just because I’m bad at cleaning up, but great at cooking). And I said yes and that I would work on the cleaning part,The reason I’ m cooking is because I know what to do and what to use and how t

Greek Yogurt Gaffe
words become superfluous

I don’t usually post on the weekends, but I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath to hear how the Great Greek Yogurt/Slow Cooker Experiment of 2012 went…right? Right?!? Well, it’s a good thing that y’all have been liking my ideas of culinary exploration lately, because let me tell you…my kitchen sure hasn’t. Remember how I was worried that I Pretty…but not what I was going for wasn’t incubating the yogurt at the proper temperature? Given that the consistency of the final product was closer to tofu than yogurt…I’m pretty sure I overcooked it. Ooops! But somehow, knowing I have all of you to share this with makes it easier. Just think how excited I we all will be when I finally get this right!
