Live Strong with a Taste of Yellow 2009 – Margarita Monday

September 14, 2009

I decided to join the Live Strong with a Taste of Yellow 2009 very late the night before I was scheduled to leave town. I know I don’t technically qualify since my entry is not a dish but rather a way of life that my dear friend, Beth Allison DiPardo, had instituted for us called, […]

Jenny Stalker Series, Part IV

September 10, 2009

In Part IV of the Jenny Stalker Series, I chose my next victim with great care and contemplation. There are so many great food bloggers to stalk out there and so little time to do the job justice. After many nano-seconds of deliberation, I decided to stalk the oh so handsome, Zen Chef. I chose […]

Costa Rica

September 3, 2009

One the most fun trips I’ve ever taken was to Costa Rica back in 2005. A couple of co-workers and I were talking about taking off for a weekend just to kick back and relax. I found a flight to CR for $265 round trip on American Airines, non stop. We could not possibly pass […]

August 31, 2009

I was seriously contemplating whether or not to post this. I didn’t want everyone to know that I was actually older than I behaved. But then I remembered that I was only 10 years old when I wrote this. Yes, a 10 year old with access to a think tank University research department that helped develop the […]

One of the major perks of my job is the travel. I get to travel to some pretty great destinations – Bahamas, Grand Caymans, Hawaii, Cabo, and Cancun to name a few. Over the years, one of the most important aspects of travel for me has become the food. When I first started, the one thing my […]

Japanese Pasta

August 24, 2009

When I was a kid growing up, my favorite thing to eat [besides Top Ramen and Kraft Mac & Cheese] was a raw egg and shoyu over rice. I loved how the gooey, slimey raw egg just coated the rice making everything slide down the back of my throat so easily. After salmonella became a […]

Gyoza Wrappers

August 20, 2009

I’m still hi-jacking this travel site and in the full spirit of the hi-jacking, I’ve decided to post up my gyoza adventure. La Fuji Mama has the most wonderful post on how to make gyoza wrappers from scratch. I looked at it, marvelled at how beautifully perfect her wrappers had turned out, and dismissed it […]

Tarts

August 17, 2009

Key Lime Tart with Mascarpone Mousse I have hi-jacked my own website. This is supposed to be my travel blog and all I want to blog about is baking. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I haven’t traveled anywhere but seriously…I’m sure I can pull a story out from one […]

Shopping around the World…

August 14, 2009

I wish I could say that shopping is a dirty little secret of mine but unfortunately, everyone knows and when everyone knows, it ceases to be a secret. I wish I could say definitively that my Senseless Desire to Acquire Syndrome (aka SDAS) was caused by one specific thing but it’s probably actually several reasons: […]
