As a regular consumer of all things sushi, (except Uni, I just can’t do fish pudding) I have eaten more than my share of  spicy tuna rolls, either crunchy or non-crunchy, as a surefire way of getting something tasty into my stomach at a good price. While I tend to prefer [...]

Review: Ruffles Loaded Bacon & Cheddar Potato Skins

by · April 13th, 2012 · 7 Comments

Eating Styles: Spring Vegetables Edition!

by · April 12th, 2012 · 6 Comments

There’s a reason we don’t get excited about vegetables. That ad on the side of the public bus isn’t a picture of a big, juicy spear of asparagus. Homer Simpson doesn’t have disturbingly passionate dreams about fresh radishes. Rather, American mass media emphasizes the greasy, the sugary and the packaged/processed. This is the reason, my [...]

When Fandom Turns Into Profit.

by · April 10th, 2012 · 2 Comments

Like many of you I am a big fan of Game Of Thrones. I started reading the books shortly after they came out and when the TV show was announced I was thrilled. The books and the show have spawned many different types of official and fan supported supported websites, games, and my topic at hand, cookbooks. Started back in March [...]
