Quinoa with Cinnamon, Fennel and Prunes and Food, Technology and Labeling
Happy new year, everyone! I will cut to the chase: 2018 sucked in many ways for me and for many others. I don’t like to be negative but I’m just putting it out there because as Socrates says, “An unexamined life is not worth living”. We need to deal with the crap that is presented […]
Indian Inspired Eggplant
There’s a mobile produce truck that stops at different places in my town. I finally made it to one of the stops last week and picked up some tomatoes and eggplant.

Quick Chinese Peanut Rice
Hi everyone! You all must know by now that I am constantly making use of leftover rice. We never know how many people will be eating at home so I make a lot of everything and just keep on storing those leftovers. For those of us who are very busy, not feeling very at ease […]
Celebrating MLK with Southern Food
Hi everyone, Today is Martin Luther King’s birthday and as such, I think it only fitting to supply you with a Southern recipe since his favorite foods were Southern, specifically Fried chicken and pecan pie according to certain sources.

Asian Cole Slaw and The 5 Year Old Comic…
Hi everyone. Before I forget,from the last post, a reader asked how much my GPS cost: $159.00 from Costco. I even went on a highway by myself with it today and went to Target. What a thrill! I feel like the rest of the world. One more thing before I get to today’s recipe: We […]
