Tokyomango: The post-it pad that looks like an Onion.

http://tokyomango.blogspot.com/2006/12/post-it-pad-that-looks-like-onion.html

Everything you ever wanted to know about the birth city of Godzilla, Gundam, all-you-can-eat shabu shabu, panty vending machines, and me. Monday, December 04, 2006. The post-it pad that looks like an Onion. Design award winners were announced a week ago, and this awesome post-it pad won the grand prix. The theme was "leaves." Each layer looks slightly different from the one before it, and the translucency and texture make it really feel like you are peeling off thinly cut layers of the onion. Levels as y...

TV in Japan: tvinjapan.com is live!

http://tvinjapan.blogspot.com/2006/06/tvinjapancom-is-live.html

This is what TV is like. In Japan. Monday, June 26, 2006. Tvinjapan.com is live! Okay everyone, I'm officially declaring tvinjapan.com. I'm going to keep double posting here for a while just to make sure that everyone knows what's happening (and I'm not convinced that the Yahoo servers are doing exactly what I need). Why am I moving you might ask? And what am I (that's you) going to get out of the deal? Blogger's been great (especially for a noob like me) but new digs are needed. For the logo. Cafe P...

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: A New Favorite Thing

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-favorite-thing.html

Thursday, December 13, 2007. A New Favorite Thing. After returning home from Hotel Hope, I developed a bad attitude about food. I still liked to talk and read about it; I just didn't like to eat the stuff. As hematology. Nurse friend Melanie warned, food becomes sustenance, not satisfaction. When meal times rolled around, I would dutifully eat the most nutrient-rich foods possible. My brain said, "You need this," but my stomach cried, "Get away from me." Without an appetite. Class at the Pasadena YWCA.

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: Springtime has been berry, berry good to me!

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2008/04/springtime-has-been-berry-berry-good-to.html

Monday, April 28, 2008. Springtime has been berry, berry good to me! In April, the strawberry hits its stride. The popular Vitamin-C rich berries are at their reddest, ripest, sweetest and cheapest this month, and I've been taking advantage. When the price drops to $8.00 for a flat (12 boxes), I can't resist walking out of the market with my cardboard box packed with a dainty-dozen pints. A perfect Sunday morning: Strawberry parfait, coffee and the Sunday Times. Shoney's Fresh Strawberry Pie. Blend toget...

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: Put up your Duke's!

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2007/12/put-up-your-dukes.html

Thursday, December 13, 2007. Put up your Duke's! You gotta love a sandwich that has three of its five ingredients in the name. Is there anything more satisfying and easy than a BLT? Last night, I made the first BLTs of the season with the juicy, ripe tomatoes from our back yard. Between the smoky scent of the bacon sizzling in the cast-iron skillet and the sweet fragrance of the sliced tomatoes, I was in sensory heaven while preparing this summer-time fave. What does any of this have to do with cancer?

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: On a Roll

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-roll.html

Thursday, December 13, 2007. I had my first taste of cabbage rolls in Sardis. West Virginia, about 40 years ago, and the Allen clan is still talking about that memorable first. When Nathan's mom, Kathleen, served cabbage rolls, I went back not once, not twice, but at least five times for more from a huge pot simmering on the stove. I couldn't get enough. Would my more "sophisticated" palate dismiss them as hillbilly comfort food? Could reality compare with nostalgia? Now I'm thinking that this skinny 12-...

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: Dreaming of Food

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2007/12/dreaming-of-food.html

Thursday, December 13, 2007. I floated in and out of sleep last night with the Food Network chefs whisking in the background. At 2 am, I saw Rachel Ray whip up crab and corn chowder, served along a side of New England-style hot dogs with Napa. Slaw Another chef, famous for using the ingredients in his freezer, created succulent quesadillas. With frozen chicken thighs, the ubiquitous. Onions and garlic, cumin, canned Italian tomatoes and chillis. The lazy but semi-stylish flair I like to emulate. Today as...

Open Mouth, Insert Fork: La Vida Loca - Crazy Mint

http://openmouthinsertfork.blogspot.com/2009/05/la-vida-loca-crazy-mint.html

Saturday, May 9, 2009. La Vida Loca - Crazy Mint. Have you heard the definition of crazy (or insanity)? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? Oh, I won't even begin to count the ways in which my life is "crazy" by definition, but I will divulge one: I am mint crazy. I am crazy about mint, the perky, fragrant and versatile herb that gives a flavor boost to everything from cocktails and teas to salads and side dishes. Nothing wrong with that. For lunch yesterday, I made ...
