Fruity Hummus

I made hummus the other day. I use ‘hummus’ in the loosest sense of the word. See, it all started with such good intentions. I had chickpeas and a vision. A vision that quickly died when (after having already cracked open the can of chickpeas, of course) I realised that I was completely lacking in [...]

It’s Peanut Butter (err..) Crunchy Time!

The highlight of my life is going to the grocery store at 9ish in the morning. It’s a glorious thing, really. See, first of all, I’m a sucker for free samples. If you go at Regular People time (generally in the 5:30-9:00pm realm), these babies are long gone. Or all that’s left are paltry crumbs. [...]

Brownies, and the Hacking of a Cake Mix

Apparently I’m obligated to make a post about brownies once every 2 weeks or so. I called them mayflies, recently, based on their tendency to not live more then one day. Brownies are a bit like mosquitoes as well, hovering about on a regular basis. Except they’re the sort of mosquitoes that you really want [...]

The Lazy (wo)Man’s Turkey Sandwich

These are the dog days of summer. Or rather they’re the days of summer that are lacking dogs. It’s a bitter thing, really, the fact that in this modern day and age, there are still hot dog manufacturers that are producing packs of dogs that come in a quantity less then 8. I swear, I [...]

What the Worlds Eats

This post contains no bad photography, so sorry to disappoint. However, I had to post a link to this rather interesting piece on what different people in the world eat and how much it costs them: What the World Eats

White Squash and Red Curry and Bad Pacman References

At some point in the not too distant past, this little bugger sauntered into my life: A mystery of a vegetable, indeed. I let it sit a few days, just to see if a yellow Pacman squash would wander in and try to eat it. When that didn’t happen, I figured that it was inevitably [...]

You Just Can’t Go Wrong With Sugar And Sausages

I have returned from a long hard journey, the sort of quest where peeing in the middle of the night is an ordeal and mattresses are a far away fantasy. Indeed, this is the joy of camping. What’s really joyous about camping, however, is the fact that when you’re dead tired from hiking all day [...]

Yellow Orange Watermelon and Ginger Salmon, Oh My!

For the first time ever in my puny mortal existence, I grew something worth eating. I’ve got a splendid patch of watermelon that has conquered most of my backyard. Considering the size of my backyard, this actually says very little. However, there are actual watermelons growing on said sprawling plant behemoth. Many of them are [...]

I Love a Good Dose of Bisquick

I believe that bisquick is best taken through the nose. It’s not quite pure enough for mainlining it, and smoking bisquick would be absolutely ludicrous. This is why my preferred method of ingesting a good dose of bisquick is to snort it. Snorting bisquick is an art, really, meant more of a bisquick aficionado and [...]

Brownies: The Mayflies of the Food World

Brownies are, indeed, the mayflies of the food world. I do not know of any other dessert item whose lifespan is so short as that of a brownie. Especially a slightly undercooked brownie. These were a weird brownie/cookie hybrid. Not quite as good as a delightfully undercooked brownie in my opinion, but nonetheless, still pretty [...]
