It's interesting how older generations view non-marriage relationships. My mother in law right now is in a relationship with a gentleman about her age. They both get frustrated with each other, but keep sticking it out. They both seem to want to break up frequently. In my view, I would get rid of someone who [...]
One of the reasons I address scientific studies that come out is because the media does a terrible job reporting on them. They oversimplify the results. Doing that leads to confusion. One study comes out that says coffee is detrimental for people with certain conditions. The media says, "COFFEE IS BAD!!!". Then another study comes [...]
Now that I'm back home for a while, I am finally able to do a savory dish. I am working on doing a lower carb diet. Notice I didn't say low carb. We all need carbs in our diet, we just need to adjust for our activity levels and also for age. What I mean [...]
I'm happy this week is a normal week. It's nice to get back into my routine. Until, of course, I travel again. I spent some time over Memorial Day looking around for some interesting recipes. I found one from Sweet Greens Vegan. It seems when I look for new recipes, the same few get recycled. [...]
Now that I have a bunch of chickpeas to use up, I'm making another dish that uses them. Last week's recipe was a bust. One of the other things I forgot to mention is that they may have failed due to using sugar substitutes. Macrons are so finicky. Note for next week. I will be [...]
This week I learned that my sister in law has become a vegan. I think that's great! Even though we are not officially vegan, a lot of our dishes are vegan. Mostly because we don't do dairy in our house. Knowing this, it'll be good to strengthen my vegan muscles and test out a few [...]
I love Rick Bayless and the interesting Mexican dishes he recreates. Every time I connect in Chicago, I eat at Fonterra Grill. I am still trying to get my hands on huitlacoche (a fungus that infects corn). His restaurants serve it. I sounds like something you would want to avoid, it infects corn after all. [...]
Michigan is warming up, kinda. Well, we seem to have one day that feels almost like Summer, then the next a bit of frost. Tony says Mother Nature got April and May mixed up this year. I agree. Things are moving along around here. Tony is starting work on a documentary project. He has been [...]
This week I wanted to make some cheesecake, but I didn't want to make a cheesecake in the traditional sense. I prefer making bars for my desserts because they are easily portioned. Also, I love cheesecake, however, that was something I haven't made in a long time because it is usually very calorie dense. That [...]
Tony asked me if I would do more bean dishes. Of course I will. There's nothing like a comforting bowl of beans and rice on a cold day. I see no end in sight for different types of dishes. I keep thinking that I will run out of options, but so far I haven't. It's [...]
