I just wanted to make a quick note regarding my blog posts and what I have been writing. I know that some of my readers mainly come for my food posts and they haven't been getting any recently. I apologize. It has been easier for me recently to write poetry than a full blog post … Continue reading Quick Note Regarding my Posts

Remember the Ingredients
So, I tend to do my grocery shopping on Friday night or Saturday morning. I buy the ingredients I need for the coming week. Well, usually I buy the ingredients for the coming week. Except sometimes I forget to buy something by not remembering to put it on my shopping list. I use the store's … Continue reading Remember the Ingredients
Trying Old Recipes in New Ways
There are some recipes that are classics for different cultures. These foods tend to become the stereotypical food for those cultures, even if the food comes from a smaller portion of the population. Some great examples would be steak and kidney pie or paella or even biriyani. So these foods are pretty well known within … Continue reading Trying Old Recipes in New Ways
Cooking and the Rain
It has been raining quite heavily this week where I am at (in quite a contrast to Australia). I have noticed that when it is raining, I feel a stronger desire to cook or bake. Somehow the rain makes me want to do more housework tasks than a sunny day does. I know that it … Continue reading Cooking and the Rain
Fall Weather Food
While it has been warm for far longer than I had expected, it is finally going to cool down and get into autumn weather. This means I can start cooking food that I wouldn't early just because I don't want to heat up my house in hot weather. I am excited because I want to … Continue reading Fall Weather Food

I love eating them but really need more experience in cooking them. Another food for me is … Continue reading Revisiting Foods
Wishing for Cable
I don't have cable. Even when I was in college and got free cable as part of my dorm setup, I rarely watched cable. I may have watched it a handful of times. So now that I am on my own, I see absolutely no point in paying for a service that I don't use. … Continue reading Wishing for Cable
Meals on Business Trips
I recently came back from a nearly week long business trip. This trip was to a convention with the company that I work for, as one of the vendors at the convention. What it boils down to, for this post's purpose, is that my lunches were incredibly poor. Now this was not because my business … Continue reading Meals on Business Trips
Check Your Produce
This past weekend has reminded me of an important practice to do when you are shopping in the grocery store, especially in summer. You should always try to check your produce before you leave the store. I mean to check for mold and nasty spots. This is especially true for berries. I had to throw … Continue reading Check Your Produce
One Food for the Rest of Your Life
One of the most common theoretical life questions that I know of, in regards to food at least, is "If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be". Basically, people are trying to figure out what food you like the best, to the point you think that you … Continue reading One Food for the Rest of Your Life
