A very exciting project has been keeping me preoccupied lately and I haven’t cooked nor baked anything interesting to blog about. But I promise to unveil the project I’ve been working on in the coming weeks.
Fancy Food Show Exhibit 2010
Anyway, I just got back from the Fancy Food Show in New York. I took their [...]
Which was exactly what I did. At 11:30 pm last night, as I watched the Lost series finale credits roll by, I reached for a chocolate cupcake and started nibbling. My mind was saying:
"WTF just happened?!"
*Spoilers*
*Spoilers*

"After all those fantastic reunions, they were dead this whole time?"

A bowl of Sukiyaki
In recent years, much has been said about the presence of a fifth taste. No longer was food described as just salty, sweet, sour or bitter, it is now proven that there is a mysterious fifth taste – the taste loosely called as “savory” or more specifically called umami. Umami is a [...]
Yeh, yeh, I know. All of you are thinking that, oh no, another one of those goody, goody posts that’s going to sound like an episode of the Brady Bunch.

A view of the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero
So we ate…a lot, but we walked a lot too. In fact, I’ve never walked so much in my life. I shall spare you most of my sightseeing pictures as I’m sure that there are more than enough travel blogs that cover this, [...]

10 lbs of chopped onion
Anyone who has seen the movie Julie and Julia knows where I am coming from. So I wanted to practice my knife skills. “Hungry” Hubby concurred and got me 10 lbs. of onions from Costco which amounted to about 12 medium to large bulbs. Chopping them all in one shot can [...]
