I scream for ice cream

I am an ice cream girl. I love ice cream. I realize some people are crazy for cupcakes. Some can’t pass a Cheesecake Factory without stopping in for a slice of diabetic coma with whipped cream.  Something about ice cream just hits that button. I’m always up for ice cream. I remember standing in a [...]

Starbucks, we need to talk.

Dear Starbucks, I don’t know if this is a local thing or something’s wrong. What has happened? You used to be my coffee go to place. You used to be nice, cozy, convenient and friendly and now…you’ve changed. Believe me, I’ve tried to quit you several times. If I lived closer to my beloved Parkville [...]

I have zero problem with parents and honestly, I applaud your choice to have your offspring. I would join you if I happened to find a guy I could consider having in my life somehow for 18+ years. That being said, as a single person, I do have some complaints. I realize you are raising [...]

Exotic Thanksgiving with Ramen Noodles

Oh I love long weekends and I hate when they are over. Granted, I was pretty ready to get back to work but sadly, I have developed a fun sinus infection! Yay! This has made me crave insane foods like Pho, Chipotle Tacos, and chili. I have no idea why but when I’m sick I [...]

I’m not cultured apparently

Yesterday afternoon, my coworker and I went to a sushi bar to have lunch and honestly, I hated it. I don’t know if I’m just not as cultured as I think I am or it was just really bad sushi but it wasn’t the greatest. Here’s the thing that I think ruined it. I spent [...]

Sunday food fest

I just need to be honest. I have NO clue how many calories I’ve consumed today but every single one of them was delicious! I made some very tasty brisket today. Since I have no smoker and my gas grill is sort of kaput for the season, it was oven baked for four hours. Those [...]

Food porn

I came to the very important realization a very long time ago that food and myself were destined to have a long and passionate love affair. There’s been some rocky times. Some long drawn out arguments but we still have that long standing adoration that brings us back together. And there’s that little thing that [...]
