How many of you know about quinoa? It’s grain-like crop and has been used for food for about 6,000 years! Why did I just learn about it a year or two ago? It’s not the most Atkins friendly food out there, but a cup of the stuff yields almost half a day’s worth of dietary [...]

For the past year now I’ve been tracking how much I drive; that is, how many miles per tank of gas. For fun, I also tracked how much I paid per tank of gas. For reference, I drive a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE. In the words of Ira Glass, lets do the numbers. In 52 weeks, [...] About two months ago I started to cultivate my own air-born yeast. It’s a pretty simple process. Just mix flour and water together and let sit out. I kept mine on the counter just over the kitchen sink. I repeated this process, adding equal parts flour and water for a few days, until I noticed [...] Some warmer weather is finally moving in, bringing with it much needed rain. Unfortunately for my little patio garden, rain water doesn’t quite reach it. So I’ve been giving it daily waterings and it’s starting to reward me with a visual feast, if not a readily edible one. Remember the garlic photo I posted recently? [...] As the clock ticked past midnight this past Saturday, so did the end of my week long trial of eating vegetarian. Lets take a look at some of the high points and some of the low points. The Good: Spinach lasagna! This lasted about eight meals between me and Ricky. I doubt we spent more than $5 [...] Today marks day 5 of being vegetarian. I left a comment in my entry post on the subject, but I’ve been facing challenges from the start. First off was having dinner out with my dad and his wife. I’ve always looked at a menu and seen nothing but options. Out of maybe twenty entree items, [...] I went out to water my garden last night and was pleasantly surprised by my garlic patch: It’s not much. I’ve had garlic do this to me sitting on the counter even. But it’s a start and I’m pleased. I’m going in to work late today so I had time to make a hearty breakfast to start the day! This is the second time I’ve made this recipe for buttermilk pancakes from Martha Stewart, and it’s been absolutely delicious each time. I’m normally one to try a recipe exactly the first time and then [...] I’m going to go a whole week as a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. More commonly known as your garden variety vegetarian. The lacto-ovo refers to the fact that I’ll still eat eggs and dairy. I’m not doing this for any particular reason; just to give it a shot. I have no plans on giving up meat for good. [...] But at night i’d had these wonderful dreamsSome kind of sensuous treatNot zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheatBut a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat I’ve got two tickets to paradise. The journey won’t take long. In fact, it’s just down the road from the Burné off Ritchie Highway in Pasadena. No, I’m not [...] |
