Today, March 8, 2010 is International Women’s Day, the theme this year is: Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all.
This includes equal rights to food. According to the World Food Programme, a child dies of hunger every six seconds? That’s SECONDS. Please take a moment to show your solidarity against hunger in support of all [...]
I admit it, I’ve been kinda addicted to the Olympics. Who knew watching skiing and shooting could be so fascinating? Well, the 2010 Olympics is coming to a close, and Vancouver has certainly showed herself to be a wonderful hostess.
I had the fortune to visit and eat my way through Vancouver last year, and truly, [...]

Happy Mardi Gras! Its origins have something to do with squeezing in as much revelry and indulgence as possible before Lent or Ash Wednesday or something…eh, look it up on Wikipedia.

“I’m Popeye the Sailor Man

Now that it’s over and I have successfully gained several pounds, I thought I would share with my little Thanksgiving and how grateful I am not only for good friends, but also for companies that make quality ingredients free from hydrogenated oils and industrial processing.

How many of you remembering making those “Indian headdresses” and “Pilgrim hats” out of construction paper to celebrate the “first” Thanksgiving? It seemed rather simple. A project that taught us how all the Indians and the Pilgrims got together and became friends. That was history. Pilgrims are history. Indians are history.

As many of you know, I had spent much of this past year working in India. The food in India is splendid. SPLENDID. But that’s because I got to eat.
