Stuffed Squash Blossoms
Stuffed Squash Blossoms

Last July I was introduced to the lovely thing that is a squash blossom by my CSA and since stuffing and frying them, I’ve been waiting all year to do it again.  The funny thing about this?  I posted a pic online when I made them and since then my uncle asks me for the recipe every time we see each other.  Now, usually we don’t see each other much, but since...

The Triple By-Pass: KFC’s new creation?
The Triple By-Pass: KFC’s new creation?

By now, almost everyone has heard about KFC’s sandwich, the Double Down, but what could possibly top it?  With KFC riding high on all this press, you know they’ll have to somehow one-up this creation… it’s simply good marketing sense.  Recently it was reported that they were extending the item’s time on the menu through the summer and had estimated...

Take Le Whif of this
Take Le Whif of this

I’ll admit it: I love candy.  I especially love candy from other countries or candy made with non-standard (in the US, anyway) ingredients.  While visiting my brother and sister this past weekend for her college graduation, Jess and I slipped away to the mall and checked out the candy store.  Among the many candies from around the world they had the most intriguing...

Yo, Gurt, make your own!
Yo, Gurt, make your own!

So, a few of you may have read my previous post about yogurt where I said that I would attempt to make my own next.  Well, that time has come!  The other day I bought a quart of milk from a local dairy for $3.00, and one “starter” yogurt for $1.34.  If all went well I’d have a whole quart of yogurt for less than $5.00.  Not too shabby, if I don’t...

I’m blue (da ba dee da ba die)
I’m blue (da ba dee da ba die)

First of all, I’m not turning into a Smurf or a Na’vi or anything.  Secondly, no, I have no idea why I’m turning blue.  Yesterday I was doing my usual exercise after work (walking fast uphill on a treadmill) when suddenly my finger felt funny.  Looking at it, I noticed it was kind of swollen, but I figured that maybe I hadn’t had enough water or something. ...

Oreo Schmoreo
Oreo Schmoreo

Is there any cookie more American than the Oreo?  Something about that sweet filling and slightly salty chocolate cookie just appeals to many of us here in the US.  Now, it turns out, that’s not exactly the same worldwide. For example, while China loves them, they have a less sweet version, wafer version, and when the Oreo was launched in the UK in 2008, it caused a...

Yogurt – Not just a Yoda parody
Yogurt – Not just a Yoda parody

First and foremost, this isn’t a “how to make yogurt” post, mainly because I’ve never made it from scratch.  This post, however, is about the yogurt 99% of you eat: The stuff from the store.  Lately yogurt has become the “in thing” and not only do you have the normal everyday stuff, you have things like Activia and Danactive on TV all the...

Mmm… you can taste the machinery!
Mmm… you can taste the machinery!

I don’t know if any of you caught the small blurb in the NY Times, but it turns out that the US eats more processed food than any other country.  Period.  In fact, it turns out that even some people at the USDA realize that the average American doesn’t really care what goes into their mouth.  According to Mark Gehlhar from the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS): Americans...
