So summing up a discussion we had in class the other day, I love that when our instructor asked “is nutritious food good food?” I’m pretty sure she silenced the crowd – birds chirped, and tumble weeds rolled right into the classroom. I almost died laughing after that. Have we all gotten so jaded that [...]
In the past two months, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around economics. HaHa, yes. Let’s take a moment here to giggle. Those who know me might laugh at the fact that I’ve avoided taking any sort of economics class since high school, and that I make a goofy “math face” whenever I compute [...]
A Good READ on Salon: How Food Television is Changing America Here’s the convo my dear friend has been keeping, on a very worthy note ;) Simon Y: Is that a prof of yours? You know, I actually am surprised another TV network is starting up. I supposed it may not have occurred to me [...]

Gimmick after gimmick, they pulled all the stops out to make the message family friendly and digestible. I give it two yum yums and one healthy high five ;) [...]
Needless to say, for a food lover like me, not only does food poisoning physically knock me out for a good 24 hours but it also takes a jab at my soul. Escpecially after a whole semester learning and working with Food Safety Policies, and having it as a daily concern whenever I prepare food [...]
for the SOUP PLANTATION. (Also endearingly known as Sweet Tomato in NorCAL), this place makes me feel like a 4 year old kid with an ice cream cone on a sunday afternoon. And whether I’m healthy or sick, I still love how I feel walking out of this place, so satisfied that i fed my [...]
More reasons why I love CaLi – 3 solid detoxing poops later. Yes I said it, (you must be wondering, and most people look at my size after they watch me eat and ask “where do you put it?!” so in entering the TMI blogosphere herr, I must talk a bit about digestion. Let’s keep [...]
