When Half the Sky Goes Hungry

“I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I live in a frying pan
I turn on the gas
And burn off my…”
Oh wait, sorry, that was the naughty playground version. Most of us remember Popeye and his loyal use of spinach in lieu of modern day protein shakes to pump up his famous forearms to woo his fiancé of [...]
Breaking Bread
By Belinda on Jun 08, 2009 in Zompparound
Pan, pao, bao, pav…whether Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, India, the word for bread seems similar across cultures and languages. Most cultures have some sort of bread – flatbreads, buns, baguettes – and breaking bread is not an unfamiliar term. You eat together, you are no longer strangers.
Indian breads are numerous and they also vary by [...]
Pass (on) the Popcorn
By Belinda on May 30, 2009 in Zompparound
There’s nothing like the smell of the buttery box of freshly-popped popcorn that you swear you won’t buy but then you do and proceed to eat half of it before the previews are over at the movie theatre.

Party In Your Panties
By Patty on May 13, 2009 in Zomppakids
Did I get you with the title? Hot and bothered? He, he.
In addition to the preschooler whose second cousin is the Tasmanian Devil, I have a baby, under the age of 1. Technically, she isn’t supposed to eat dairy products, but we got a little confession to make. Baby loves herself some ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!
After [...]
Palm-Sized, Baked Eggrolls
I don’t know about your kids, but my oldest (2, going on 30) is constantly begging for ‘SNNNAAACCCKKKKSSSS!!!’ Particular favorites include pretzel sticks, whole-wheat cheddar bunnies and Fig NEWMAN’S (the organic version of the NEWTONS). In general, she is fascinated with all things (food and toys) that fit in the tiny palm of [...]
