Arepas sandwich with plantains, homemade versus cafe

First off, my sincerest apologies to anyone who may have attempted to access tastyniblets.com within the last two days. My hosting provider exploded in a most unfortunate way, and as a result I, or anyone else, could not access this website. As a consolation, however, I will now write about and post picture of delicious [...]

Magical Food Item #8728937: Fried Plantains

So I’ve had plantains a few times in my life, and have enjoyed them each time I’ve had them, but didn’t really think about them all that much beyond that point. And then, recently, I acquired a plantain. Sometimes items will surreptitiously leap into my basket at the grocery store, and there’s little I can [...]

Silicone Bakeware is a Tool of the Devil (a Cupcake Odyssey)

I got some silicone bakeware this past Christmas. Up until now, I’d only been aware of the use of these things as ice cube trays. They make exciting shapes and allow you to peel out an ice cube quite easily. So I was intrigued to get cupcake shapes – now I, too could make exciting [...]

Adventures with a Kashi frozen meal

They’ve got a vast assortment of chocolate as well as large quantities of discounted chocolate left over from various holiday. The best part, though, is their [...]

Deliciousness at the Asian American Food Festival

So I bloated myself silly today at the Asian American Festival downtown. This is my 2nd year in going, and it was just as tasty as it was last year. I mostly grazed on side items as, since there are so many ethnicities represented, I just can’t get an entire dinner at one place alone. [...]

For lack of anything better, here’s a cat sniffing a sandwich

Call it “lack of ambition”, call it “I can’t wait to get off this computer and finish reading this super great book”, but rather then writing a lovingly lettered diatribe about the latest concoction I’ve botched, I will instead simply post a picture of a cat sniffing a sandwich. Her name is Velutha, and club [...]

Two delicious places to eat if you happen to be lodged in Baltimore at some point soon

So I have recently found myself in Baltimore on multiple occasions and needing food to eat. The vast majority of my food consumption in Baltimore, the few times I’ve been there, has taken place at the Harbor Point mall in the food court. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, actually, as their food court [...]
