Most Commented Food Blogs (316)

I got up at around 7, made coffee, read some news and then started drawing. I should say I skimmed over some headlines because my attention span today is shot.

I wondered what was going on in my head but I have no way to see inside...or do I?

Windows to the soul...hmmm



Well, the 'window' part is pretty accurate.
??


It's probably a good thing I don't try to draw eyes from reference photos!

I've been trying out some new pencils this morning and haven't completed a thing. It's ok though. Practice makes progress...or something.

F'k it. Gonna watch football!

As if Thanksgiving isn't already an excuse to stuff......yourself with food,
why not ensure you get the munchies, while you are already feasting.
That's right. If the tryptophan in your turkey wasn't enough to mellow you out,
one manufacturer has come out with cannabis infused gravy.
Wow man ! Have another hit......from the gravy boat.
The good news, is that both you and your closed-minded uncle
will totally forget about what you two were arguing about.



Bon appetit man.

I had lunch at a famous Japanese Sushi Buffet today. It doesn't matter that they have small plates as it's an 'all you can eat' restaurant. So I had 3 full plates and a few trips to the desert display.

Yeah, too good to the point where I ate so much my breathing was impaired. When I got home I went into a state of hibernation.

My vital signs are coming back online and I'll probably go walking later.

Mmmm... sushi

One of our new employees asked if there was a pizza shop near the office. Yes, I replied... due west about a mile in a little shopping plaza on the left. He didn't ask if I wanted to go with him. My answer would have been yes. This place does real hand thrown pizza, thin crust and real tomato sauce and not like that corporate pizza that comes on a conveyor belt or the one with the 1" thick crust that has the texture of a sponge.

As a kid, we lived 1 block away from 2 really good pizza restaurants. Different recipes but both had great flavor. My parents used to order pizza with anchovies. They used the Italian word 'alice' pronounced ah-leege and the baker knew what they were talking about. It's tiny salty fish you get from a can. Much smaller than Sardines. Awesome taste but you will drink a gallon of water soon after because they are really salty.

Mmmm... PIZZA !!
Reminds me of my childhood.

There must be some scientific explanation as to why I can open a container of yogurt and the top surface is smooth and solid. After taking a scoop or two and putting it back in the refrigerator, liquid floats to the top making a small lake. I pour it out before taking another serving and the next time I get more yogurt... yeah, more liquid at the top!

I was around 7 years old when my family moved from New York to Miami. Life here was pretty simple. My neighborhood was a place where you didn't always lock your door as friends would call your name as they entered your house... much like a brother or sister.

Two houses down, lived Junior... he was a chubby likable kid, maybe a year or two younger than me. If you remember the breakfast cereal commercials where the older boys were afraid to eat it... they got "Mikie" to try it.... "Yeah, let Mikie try it" Well, Junior was the the "Mikie" in my neighborhood. He had no fear of the unknown... We could convince him to eat just about anything. Milk and Tabasco sauce? No problem.

We would line up our toy solders on the table and pay Junior 5¢ to snort pepper and 'sneeze' the solders off the table! He was that kinda kid... if you could think of something stupid, Junior would try it.

We couldn't figure out why Junior was so chubby. His older sister and parents were of normal proportions yet he was overweight.

Now, further down the block lived Tom. He was my older brothers age. When all of us got together, my brother and Tom (by age) were the leaders. Tom was a baseball player and very athletic.

Tom's house was slightly larger than the other houses on my street and his parents added a utility/laundry room to the back of their house. They cut a rectangular hole in the dividing wall between the main house and the utility room and fitted a 'box' used as a giant hamper, in which they could put dirty clothes and 'flip' the box to the other room. It was a really great idea... otherwise, you would have to carry the laundry outside the back door and and walk around to the utility room.

One night, Tom's family, got in the car and drove away. Junior saw this and went around the back of their house. He entered the utility room, climbed into the hamper and 'flipped' himself into the main house. Junior headed to the kitchen... He had fixed himself a late night snack on Tom's parents dining room table.

Just then, headlights appeared in the front window and someone quickly walked to the door and opened it. It was Tom's mother... apparently she had forgotten something and they drove back home to get it. Well who was more shocked... Junior or Tom's Mother when she found him stuffing himself at the table?

As the story goes, Junior's parents found out and he was punished. This led to the confession that Junior was daring enough to sneak into their house at night (while they were sleeping) to raid the refrigerator. That ended the mystery Tom's mother had, as to the 'constant' disappearance of food from the refrigerator. Tom and his father were both very slender and she never suspected it was someone coming in the house.

The United States Department of Agriculture is the agency who inspects meat processing plants and sees to it they maintain health standards.
Every week, we get mailed advertisements/flyers from local markets and usually, that's the first thing to make it to the recycle bin.
We did try one market and I noticed the meat didn't have the USDA stamp. It was marked from a country in Central America. The price was much less that meats found in the larger market chains like Wal-Mart or Publix.
The shape of the chicken looked mutated and out of proportion to what I'm accustomed to buying. I suggested trying it out to see if it was acceptable. Different flavor. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather not take a risk to save a few dollars a week on meat coming from an unknown source.

Last night we shopped at Aldi and it was different. USDA stamps on the meats they display. The chicken looked like chicken.

I'll know tonight about the flavor.

but leave me the birds and the bees. Joni M. Never met a drunken looser tie she didn't want to jump on. Who really believes that the stuff the trust fund baby types spend too much for is really organic? Aa.

Greasy bacon is so good
