  • Food and Love

    September 12, 2009

    • My husband Kenneth and I recently celebrated our sixteenth anniversary.  We flew to Seattle and spent four days exploring the city and doing what we do so well: eating great food. Kenneth started cooking when he was four years old, following his grandmother around the kitchen.  He never uses the word "chef."  He's the real thing, a cook.A few Sundays ago, we had friends over for a ...
  • Looking For My Daughter

    September 4, 2009

    •  June 7, 2009 Let’s Talk About It My best friend Batman, and me were sitting on the back porch throwing down the buds, and talking. I told him what I thought was going on, about me daughter being on drugs. I told him, cankers have cretin things that they all do, one is talking so fast you can't understand what they are saying because they run their words together. They make dates with ...
  • Still Alive

    September 1, 2009

    • Yes I'm still here. I've been in southwestern Ontario and southern Michigan promoting FAT at two food events. It's been fun but very tiring so I haven't posted. I will catch you up on all my food experiences very soon.    
  • Can You Hear Me Now!

    August 14, 2009

    • 2:35 PM PDT, August 14, 2009 What a clever sentence.  It's use intrigues me since it has zillions of possibilities.  At the moment it's tied in with Obama and the people who are fed up with his high spending sprees and a health care bill that is nonsensical.  But I forsee a broader scope that needs to be addressed that we can tag with the above line.  60 billion people in America are sexual ...

  • Farmer’s Market with Eggplant and Okra

    August 5, 2009

    • The eggplant was waiting patiently in the refrigerator since our trip to the Sunday Farmer’s Market. Senses on high alert this past Sunday. Many people. Crowded. White capped booths, a food carnival of sorts. I stop at one of my favorite vegetable stands owned by very friendly Asian folk. One day I heard the younger man tell the lady buying his purple cauliflower that he was a biology major and ...
  • Blueberry Crisp

    July 30, 2009

    • Yesterday reading blogs about food made me hungry. Throughout the day I thought of what I would prepare for dinner: Lamb chops, jasmine rice with Quinoa and curry powder; a simple salad of tomatoes cucumber, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. I love the smell of the chops sizzling away in mild coconut oil, browned to a nice crisp on each side. Seasoned with just salt and pepper, ...
  • Chicago's Green Food Resolution

    July 27, 2009

    • Chicago passed the nation's first green food resolution last Tuesday according to earthascope.com. The resolution encourages healthier eating for Chicago's people. Great news, and smaller areas like my town might follow. All of this news made me think of corn syrup. The Corn Refiners Association has those commercials touting that corn syrup is ok in moderation, like sugar. More research keeps ...
  • True Confessions: Breakfast of Champions

    July 20, 2009

    • Reentry from our trip to Wedding and Honeymoon Planet hasn’t been the easiest, but here we are lurching back into our routines. For me, that means returning to the gym and my sessions with Jonathan, AKA the Torture Teddy, AKA my trainer. I realized recently that my main goal for working out is to eventually become strong enough to beat Jonathan up. A few days ago, after leaving an especially ...
  • Eat your heart out?

    July 1, 2009

    • Would you like a ‘Quadruple Bypass Burger’? Would you like to get a heart attack? At 8000 calories, the juicy stacked snack that is served at the Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, Arizona, comes with a medical disclaimer.Is this supposed to be funny? The restaurant has a hospital theme, the staff are dressed as nurses and after the patient/patron has eaten, s/he is given a wheelchair ride.I ...
