explodingplum: My Shameful Purple Secret
http://explodingplum.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-shameful-purple-secret.html
My Shameful Purple Secret. What I am about to tell you makes me feel a little dirty. I feel like I have committed a faux pas to top all faux pas, and have spit on the sanctity that is food blogging. What would you say if I told you that this blog was only born out of a desire to glorify an anecdote? What if I said that the whole blogging aspect was an afterthought at best, that the desire to immortalize an inside joke was the real catalyst for my quasi-authorial pursuits? I know, I'm a fraud! I'm just a ...

explodingplum: Prune Crisis and Tofu Dreams
http://explodingplum.blogspot.com/2008/04/prune-crisis-and-tofu-dreams.html

I can't go into details as I'm convinced Sun-Maid has bugged my every move, but suffice it to say, a national crisis of incomprehensible magnitude- the Jericho of produce, if you will- was narrowly averted. So, where did I leave off? Inquired a...

Book Review: Candyfreak by Steve Almond. The answer is that we don't choose our freaks, they choose us.". Steve Almond's opening line to his sugar-laden, quasi-biographical work Candyfreak. A Journey through the Chocolate Underbelly of America. The book's gems include not only the author's wit and characteristic humor oozing with sarcasm, but also a broad smattering of candy trivia from beginning to end. For instance, did you know the Necco wafer was created in 1847, and became a staple of Union sold...

explodingplum: Opening Explosion
http://explodingplum.blogspot.com/2008/02/opening-explosion.html
Yes, this is the long-awaited first post all of you (and at this moment that includes only myself) have been waiting for. I am embarking on a new and novel undertaking, chronicling all things food. Oh wait, you mean it's been done? Fine I guess now I will just have to make it THAT much more avant-garde and cutting edge. I vow to go where no food blog has gone before. And eating the occasional bowl of Cheerios for dinner? Yes, yes, and yes! So why exploding plum. Will be a whirlwind of glorious, but hopef...
