Skin Deep

Don’t eat too many chips or you’ll break out, right?

We’ve all heard  that drinking gallons of water can not only keep your insides running right, but also help you with clear skin. So it’s no surprise to any of us that what you eat and drink can impact not just your weight and love handles, [...]

Inequality of Olympic Proportions

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, [...]

Remember E.B. White’s book The Trumpet of the Swan, where a mute swan learns to play the trumpet and dines on watercress sandwiches at the Fairmont Copley Boston? Hail watercress sandwiches and delectable crumpets brought straight from the UK by ZomppaKat with butter and fresh honey made from the apiaries of Cake Mountain Man’s mom.

Valentine’s Day, Apolo Ohno’s 6th medal in a kick-ass race (did you see his semi-final run?), Chinese New Year – it was a busy weekend! And a busy eating weekend.

Spice it Up!

Valentine’s Day is coming up…need something to spice it up? This year, Valentine’s Day is also Chinese New Year (it comes on a different day every year so it’s a bit of a moving target), so I get to cheat.

Pure as the Driven Snow

If you’ve been following, you know I live in the South. But I’m a New Englander, raised in a place where “snow day” means you better dress warm because you still have to wait for the schoolbus at the corner, only there’s about 2 feet of snow and sideways sleet hitting your face.
I miss it.
