Adventures in eating in Asheville, NC

So I’ve recently returned from Asheville, NC. While in Asheville, I spent a great deal of time doing what I like doing on a regular basis, which is eating. Gobs of restaurants are to be found all over the downtown, and, as I’d never been there before, picking where to eat was more or less [...]

Springtime means the quivering anticipation of BLTs

I’ll be headed out of town for several days, to enjoy whatever pleasures lie in wait in Asheville, NC. This means that I shall not be posting for several days. Thusly, I felt inspired to write a parting post, one about the joys of bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.
Spring is in the air, what with [...]

Spaghettios and ants on a log, AKA I am a 6 year old disguised as an adult

I still eat spaghettios. Not with the rapture of eating them when I actually was six years old, mind you, but they still serve as an excellent backup lunch in a time of need. When I was in the target age group for them, my preferred sort was the spaghettios with franks. In fact, I’ve [...]

This vernal equinox is best celebrated with rainbow cake!

We just finished celebrating the vernal equinox with an evening of opulence and lewd debauchery. And by this, I mean that a group of friends and I played games and ate, among other things, cake. I am always one to tack on superfluous celebrations for the sake of randomness and bonus fun, and thusly an [...]

On sausage parties, and why I love them so

There is something glorious and magical about a meal that contains sausage. While a hot dog can suffice when one’s stomach is in the mood for a sausage party, what really hits the spot is a delicious bratwurst. You’ve got the “we like to hang out with our hot dog friends” variety, who are pre-cooked [...]

Lets celebrate Pi Day with some chocolate cream pi (err pie)!

Pie is a beautiful thing. So is pi, for that matter. Which is why it’s so convenient that I can celebrate both on the same day! Chocolate cream pie is an especially beautiful thing. It’s a “maximum delicious for minimum effort” kind of pie, which I greatly appreciate.
I had a pie crust I bought on [...]

My best sushi yet, featuring mackerel, egg, and a host of veggies!

I really like sushi. And when I start craving sushi, I must quench the maddening thirst! Quite unfortunately, eating sushi only makes me want to eat more sushi. It all started when Drew and I decided it was high time we visited the new sushi place over in Carytown, Momotaru Sushi. Lunch was delicious and [...]

Hamantaschen and their nefarious fillings

So I decided to get my hamantaschen on the other day. Which was a completely random occurrence, as up until a week prior to that I had no idea what hamantaschen were. I found myself meandering all over the internet and stumbled across them, and then I thought to myself, “Hey, I like triangles! They’re [...]

Whereupon I reminisce about delicious sesame chicken of the days of yore

Once upon a time, there was such a thing as delicious mock sesame chicken. I could go to the local China Panda and get delicious gooey balls of joy that would melt in my mouth in their own chewy sort of way. I didn’t think of them as a mere substitute for actual sesame chicken. [...]

Me and my sandwich maker friend make all sorts of delicious fun!

If there’s any one thing that I love more then life itself, it would have to be cheese. Cheese is magical, especially melty cheese. However, despite how much I’d love to do so, one cannot simply melt a bunch of cheese in a vat and scoop it up with one’s paws to deposit into one’s [...]
