Pizzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Friday, August 20th, 2010

The Greeks invented pizza. How’s that for trivia of the day? Darius the Great’s soldiers “baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates.” That makes a pretty cool picture. A box of freshly delivered (notice I didn’t say “baked”) pizza also makes a good picture especially [...]


Cheetos Cheddar Jalapenos

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Junkfood of the moment — Cheetos Cheddar Jalapenos. Great when partnered with cream cheese or french onion dip. Mix pretzels into the bag for added crunch. Prepare for an explosion of flavor.

Breakfast of Bagels

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

As much as I want a leisurely morning meal, my schedule doesn’t permit it. BUT I always try to eat breakfast. My breakfast of choice: Multi-grain bagels with cream cheese and jam. Paired with a cappucino or a chai latte and I’m set for the day! What are you having for breakfast today?

My favorite candy bar is an ice cream flavor. Gah. Somebody help my waistline please! Chocolate-covered peanuts, caramel, and nougat… Baby Ruth Ice Cream! It’s such a treat! What’s your favorite candy bar? Do you want it to have its own ice cream version too?


Pistachio Ice Cream at Cyma

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

After a good meal at Cyma, one of my favorite restaurants, I always get this for dessert: Pistachio ice cream is one of my favorite ice cream flavors. I’m not sure what brand Cyma carries, or if this is created by their own chefs. Anyway, it’s super yum. I also like that they’re generous with [...]
