Can We Slow Down the Bytes?

As some of you may know,
I recently got hacked.
Thanks for those who are patient enough to keep checking up on my food loving welfare, as I continue to get on top of the game and figure out how to speak this language of love.
We are so engrossed in this info-saturated world these days.  Really, I [...]

Snack Time! or Brunner?

NYT article of interest
Fo Serious. I felt like all I did yesterday was SNACK. Which in my mind is like a tease, a way of food shopping where I can never really find what I’m looking for unless I make it myself.
Munch munch munch.  I woke up feeling yucky :(  I really don’t like snacking, [...]

Don’t Touche My BEEF. (Slate Article Response)

Another beef article that gives me beef with the writer.  Please understand my frustration when I say that articles like these add to the already confused general public knowledge about what to eat nowadays and how to make skewed consumer choices.  Sure, pile it on top of the mountain of info, ads, and articles to [...]

So, What is Food Studies?

this is what it means…(more or [...]

It’s Raining Meatballs…

Finally got around to watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and was surprised at the strong anti GMO message wrapped up in hilarity. pretty niffty.
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 ;)
Also, who [...]

Body & Soul

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 [...]

I Must Confess My Love

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 body [...]

Local Flavour

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 it [...]

O Noir!

manger dans le noir a été instructif!

If you live or are ever in the greater Toronto or Montreal area, this place is definitely worth a try! :)
O Noir is a dining in the dark experience. and by dark, I mean: pitch. black.
I never really realized how much we [...]
