Sometimes I wonder if TikTok is just a bunch of food “hacks” that don’t hack anything, or if it’s some grand conspiracy to make me […]

It’s not your imagination: buying food has become expensive. While we are collectively recovering from the trauma of the 2023 Great Egg Price Shock , […]

I’m not good at leaving things to marinate: ideas, problems, meat. The problem is, I don’t know what I want to eat until an hour […]

It took many embarrassing trips to the trash can – throwing out moldy food and curiously sniffing heavy cream – to finally develop some adult […]

I do not hesitate to mix mayonnaise with the dish and declare it “salad”. Indeed, I love a good marinated bacon salad every day. However, […]

Maple syrup is so good it’s hard to believe it comes from a tree. Or maybe it’s easy to believe. Trees also give us peaches, […]

I’ve made waffles in many things , but few waffles, which is odd given the intended purpose of the waffle maker. I can count on […]

As a kid, I was obsessed with helping my mom cook (hard to believe, I’m sure). Although she dabbled in cooking Italian food and sampled […]

Instant noodles are one of my favorite convenience foods. They are cheap and quick to make, and you can add all sorts of things to […]

The love for cupcakes is rooted in my family. You may know it’s coffee cake, streusel or, as my father calls it, crumble buns, but […]

I have a vinaigrette formula blocked. Balanced acid and fat, a little Dijon mustard, a spoonful of some liquid sweetener, and a pinch of salt […]

I don’t claim to be a big authority on roguelikes. I didn’t even know they existed until I moved from Aberdeen, Mississippi to Los Angeles […]

With storefronts shrinking, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find specialty items, and sometimes even mid-range products, in person. Rarely do I come across rolling pins […]

There is nothing strange in the fact that chili remained. Between the time, ingredients list, and prep time, I usually double or triple serving and […]
