Vegetales orientales

I collect recipes. I do this with the intent of actually trying them at some point but I think it has gotten out of hand. Most of the recipes, I’ve placed into sheet protectors and they are arranged using [...]

SPAM is Good

spam

Originally uploaded by designdept.

I admit it: I love SPAM (the canned meat, not the unwanted e-mails). I grew up having slices of it fried up for breakfast, served with steamed rice. I believe my parents started to eat SPAM while my father was [...]

Crab Cakes

Originally uploaded by glueslabs.

We’re off on our annual trip to Ocean City, MD. Randy’s whole family gathers there in a handful of condominiums and have been doing so for over 30 years (before that it was at Ocean City, NJ). We’re stopping [...]

Pasta blaster

Originally uploaded by Timothy Sewell.

The comfort food craving has returned. I had spaghetti for dinner. It was Dreamfields pasta and although I’m not counting every carbohydrate that I eat, I do find that this pasta doesn’t make my blood sugar levels [...]

Snack Run

( Food )

I think my tastes are changing. This past weekend, in the middle of watching “Hitch” on DVD, Randy announced that he needed a snack. It wasn’t just a general desire for something sweet or a handful of chips. No, Randy needed a Zebra Cake. I must admit that I support these [...]

I Want Cheesy Poofs

( Cool Links and Food )

Yes, it’s quickly back to my food obsessions.
I’ve always been fond of Cheetos and for those who have a preference between puffs and crunchy, I must admit that I’ve belonged to both camps although I tend to prefer the puff variety lately. All Cheetos used to be my friends until Frito-Lay came [...]

Try It Fried

( Food )

I love fried food. It goes against all conventional wisdom nowadays to eat very much of it but that doesn’t stop me too often. The problem is that fat makes food taste good. There’s no getting around it. Maybe that’s why the cholesterol lowering drugs Lipitor and Zocor are the top [...]

Fried Ice Cream

( Food )

I have been on a fifteen year mission to find the best fried ice cream served in a restaurant. This self-appointed task has been somewhat hampered by the fact that my husband doesn’t really care for Mexican food and Mexican restaurants are where fried ice cream is generally served (although I’ve read that fried [...]
