It doesn’t get much better then purple chocolate chip cookies

I get super excited when I make food that’s white. This is because white food is the easiest food to dye colors. This works best, for some strange reason, with desserts. I have on many an occasion thought that it would be a fabulous idea to dye rice. For example, I think pink sushi would [...]

I am a Deviled Egg Nazi (though I prefer to think of it as ‘Purist’)

I’m very picky when it comes to eggs. I know they’re good for me, in small quantities at least, but the majority of egg-related items that consist mostly of egg are items that I find rather difficult to stomach. For example, the mere scent of an omelet will make my stomach turn, especially if liver [...]

In honor of the one month anniversary of Christmas Eve, here’s a box of chocolate made completely out of chocolate.

Our generation* has seen many brilliant innovations. The most fabulous one of them all (at this moment, in my head, at least) is the ‘container filled with stuff made from that stuff’ invention. I will now attempt to list as many as I’ve been able to think of in the last two minutes.
First, we [...]

Mediterranean Pile of Stuff

I got some Lebanese food at this restaurant a little while back. Some really freaking good Lebanese food. Which, of course, got me all inspired to make some Mediterranean food. Now here’s the thing: I’m simply not very knowledgeable about different types of Mediterranean food. I know that some countries have very similar dishes to [...]

Tuna Steaks and Misc Rice and Bad Photoshop Art

In honor of it being both the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allen Poe’s birthday as well as Martin Luther King Jr. day, I will make a post using ‘arty’ pictures. It’s such a shame to delete a mediocre photo, and this is what Photoshop is for!
In any case, a little while back I got to [...]

Chili, as it’s rather chilly out

There’s nothing good to heat you up like a big ole pile of spicy beans!
To be perfectly honest, I have a rather narrow view of chili. First off, I find it rather baffling that there are some variants of chili that are designed to be dumped on top of hot dogs. To me, this is [...]

Ceviche de camarones, in it’s potentially poisonous form!

So I didn’t win that avocado contest. But it’s all good. I hadn’t had much experience doing video before, you could see the little strings that moved the avocados, and my voice acting definitely still needs some work. But, in a way, it’s good my video didn’t make it to the next round. This is [...]

Avocado Video Contest!

As mentioned before, I made a video to enter into a video contest (the “Avocado Video Bowl”) sponsored by Avocados from Mexico. My video stars two of my utensils, Ms. Spoon and Mr. Spatula. They are doing a cooking show about how to make ceviche. Please watch it, it’s super cheesy and super exciting!

Five [...]

Goodbye Sparks, You Shall Be Missed

Today is a day of mourning. Sparks, the delightful concoction of energy drink plus alcohol, shall be no more. As of today, MillerCoors (the company that produces Sparks) will discontinue manufacturing and marketing Sparks as it currently is made, and will remake it into an alcohol-only drink. Let’s just say I’ve stocked up. Nothing ridiculous, [...]

Whereupon I babble about avocados and then briefly mention pizza

I’ve been busy the past few days. Quite busy, in fact. You see, I am a sucker for a good contest. I stumbled across a really exciting one the other week which involves making a video about avocados to win $5000. So, realising that my video camera was actually a really crappy video feature on [...]
