I. Variations On Somewhat Standard Questions 1. Worst song ever: Uh... Ice Ice Baby? 2. Person who should be shot because he/she wrote/sang the ONE song that gets stuck in yer head and drives you to the brink: Vanilla Ice 3. Song for a happy day: Anything upbeat! Two Step! Flight of the Conchords!...
I rarely read the complimentary in-flight magazine that airlines provide. They tend to consist mostly of advertisements for steak houses and totally sketchy professional matchmaking services. Apart from the crossword puzzle, the only other section I ever read is the standard "Three Days in X"...
Lets see...today is Wednesday. As the cool afternoon wind blows through the window, I'm working hard trying to piece together the past two days. I pulled another all-nighter, so my head kind of hurts from staying up 24 hours plus. After a few correspondences, the red-headed hostess and I planned a...
i feel like i'm in the place between the irresponsible and fun young adult i was, and the responsible and boring adult i'm turning in to. that doesn't bother me. i'm sure i'll find even ground soon enough. this is what bothers me: i'll be 23 next week, and i have no fucking clue what i want to do...
Archived posts from MSN: I was in downtown Seattle today and walked though the Pacific Place Mall on my way home. I noticed on the step below me on the esclator was a guy I new named Brian. Last winter when I was spending my three months in Amsterdam, Michael had come to visit me on his spring break...
on the one hand, i'm quite pleased that rachel ray is coming under fire. i fucking hate that bitch. and any claim of "she makes cooking accessible to working mothers" is BS. the majority of food network icons (all but alton brown, bobby flay, and emeril) are fakes. they are not chefs. most do not...
Inspired by No Reservations - Osaka I've been wanting to try making homemade okonomiyaki ("Japanese pizza"). This dish is a favorite late-night snack or pupu made with a pancake batter, cabbage, various meats and other vegetables - all topped off with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. I found a nice...
Ok so going back and retro-entering a blog is hard, especially when you have a non-official paparazzi for a husband and you already have over 800 pictures, and can't find the dates on any of them. So I know they all took place in the first few weeks, so I'll smoosh them together. Avery had a bit of...
This weekend was tough. [I'm thinking I've chosen the wrong photo to illustrate that comment!] We stayed with the in-laws again on Saturday, though the little was suffering from some reflux and it made me sad that I couldn't do anything for her. Actually, it made me more than sad; it made my stomach...
The Universe has a sense of humor. Sunday afternoon I put Logan down for his nap; I made a milkshake and turned on Grownup TV. I thought to myself, "I am SO LUCKY to be able to put Logan down for a nap and know he is going to fall asleep on his own. Some people deal with kicking and screaming, or...
Which TV chef would you want to have prepare a meal for you? How great for me! Its been a while since I last posted a blog, and the day I return I see that the QotD has to do with FOOD!! How wonderful!! Any-who... If I were to allow one celebrity chef to prepare a meal for me... It would have to be...
What is your favorite style of food? Bonus: Share a recipe that compliments that style. I like good food. Food worth eating. Things have to be worth the calories. And I don't eat; most of the time, I dine. Food should be savored with friends (new and old) and good times. We spend too much time in...
So I kinda been MIA for the past 2 weeks, in and out of Vox not only because of the Beijing Olympics, which was awsome btw, but because I had to study for my 8 hour state appraisal exam. Anyhow, now that it's over I can get back to regular programing and blogging. Last night came as a surprise to...
Anthony Bourdain writes that Salumi is the "single greatest food serving and producing establishment on the West Coast." I've experienced it for myself and can safely say the man speaks the truth. Salumi is the creation of Armandino Batali who opened the joint a couple of years after retiring as an...
I know how a good foot massage feels. I won tickets to a local massage shop on Oahu. No, no, no, I know what you local readers are thinking, it was "The Lomi Lomi shop" in Windward mall. Yah, they don't do the "happy ending". Anyway, it was 10 minutes of ticklish but relaxing pleasure. I happened to...
I have a bizarre problem with trying to stay up to watch an artist at the tail end of one of the late-night shows (Conan, Letterman, Leno, etc.): I almost always fall asleep right before the act comes on, and wake up sometime after they finish. Nuts. I did the same thing last night, staying up until...
Ever wanted to try some bizzare foods? Ever watch Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern scarf down some nasty chow? Well the Wall Street Journal has one for you. Apparently due to the influx of the Bird Flu virus many Vietnamese countrymen have been getting their protein from other sources. Of course...
09:21 just finished getting recertified for the cleanroom. people are filthy. # 10:47 @furiousben Anthony Bourdain rules. I might have to watch Top Chef again just to see him. # 10:49 going home now. going to sit outside a coffee shop, drink a frozen beverage and use free wifi and get personal stuff...
First of all I wanna give props to the artist of this comic! Professional cook by day, aspiring comic strip writer by night! He knows of what he writes. Anybody who's done their time in kitchens can relate to this comic. Check it out! Obscene Cuisine! Like the name implies, it's not for the easily...
I have been sufficient in the kitchen for a number of years now, but only in the past year have I really dove in to what excellent food tastes like and why it tastes that way. I never had any intentions or mission for this blog and it mainly serves as a vehicle for me to expand my photographic and...
