what’re you eating?

What are we eating?

I haven’t talked a lot about what i do personally on the food front in a while and when my fabulous friend Mark (@standupkid) showed me this movie on the food industry, I thought it was time.

I won’t get on a soapbox here, but as much as I am a foodie, I think that gourmet shouldn’t mean that we’re eating gross stuff. Gourmet to me [...]

book to read: your big fat boyfriend

bfbcovermex

The Boy just left. He was here for two weeks and it was heaven.

Except for my diet. I’ve been trying to lose this errant 10 pounds and really just start working out again. But The Boy tends to like tasty, greasy food.

So, my weight went back up to where it was before I started watching what I eat.

Great. I really needed this ingenious book, Your Big Fat Boyfriend.

I was less a fan of teh baked potato sticks. They kind of pale in comparason to Baked [...]

eat: tukaani chopsticks

Toucan Sam would definitely approve of the TUKAANI design from Lincoln Kayiwa.

It’s a chopstick like hybrid, sort of like the spring loaded chopsticks that look like clothespins to me. It would be great if you were still learning to use chopsticks and love great design.

Check out the Tukaani

save on food: angel food ministries

As gas prices go up, so do food prices. It’s tough on pretty much everyone. Food is universal. You could maybe spend less on gas, but it’s harder to eat less, even when it’s for a diet.

Angel Food Ministries is the best thing I’ve heard of in a long time. It’s like a CSA, where you get a box of fresh veggies and other goodies from a farmer. However, Angel Food Ministries gives you a big box of food that [...]
