I had returned home from buying a few groceries and I was putting away some frozen juice while thinking of what to make for dinner. My eyes landed on a small lump in the back of the freezer. It was a block of frozen peas in a bag the size of a grapefruit. I’ve kept [...]

Grilled Cheese and Avocado Sandwich
June 26, 2009
Maybe it’s because it’s summer. Maybe it’s my Latin American background. Maybe I was a tortilla chip in a past life. Whatever reason, in the last week or so I have been gorging on avocados and hot sauce…a lot. As I mentioned in previous posts, I made avocado pasta, with Frank’s Redhot sauce, and one [...]
Stormy Green Pasta
June 25, 2009
It’s been a bit of a crazy day today in terms of weather. It was almost unbearably hot and sunny this morning and by 10AM I was nearly soaked in sweat and praying for 11 o’clock to roll around so I could go for a dip in the pool. At 10:45 I decided to change [...]
Cheap & Easy Vegetarian For Daddy Day
June 22, 2009
For Father’s Day my family came over to hang out and eat a quick, simple dinner. Both my parents were exhausted so they couldn’t stay very long. Normally we spend a few hours playing board games but this time we ate dinner and sat on the balcony drinking beers for a bit before my parents [...]
Potato Pizza
June 20, 2009
We just finished eating a ridiculously unhealthy and oily, yet sinfully satisfying and scrumptious “pizza.” Essentially, all I really did was fry up two coarsely grated potatoes and shaped them into a pancake. Once it was fried I topped that with diced canned tomatoes, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions and mozzarella. I was afraid the bits of [...]
Spicy Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
June 20, 2009
As we all know, I am obsessed with Frank’s Redhot sauce. I keep talking about it so much I think I should become a spokesperson for that product! So for last night’s dinner all I wanted was to use that ingredient in whatever dish I made. I settled on making a simple chicken marinade of [...]
The Spice Project
June 19, 2009
I was in a Spring cleaning mood today and I decided to go through all my shoes. I know it’s a bit late for Spring cleaning but I tend to be a late bloomer in many things. After putting five pairs of shoes (out of about 30) into the donation bin, I felt inspired and [...]
Tuna Cheese Melt
June 18, 2009
It’s a gloomy, rainy day today, perfect for lounging in pjs and eating comforting comfort food. It was lunch time and I didn’t feel like making a full meal for myself. I was feeling a bit lazy and I ALMOST caved in to a salty, carb-filled packet of instant noodles. But I managed to contain [...]
Can’t Get Enough of Frank
June 18, 2009
I think I’ve developed an addiction to Frank’s Redhot sauce. Last night, as I devoured my skewered shrimp, basted with crushed garlic and Frank’s Redhot sauce, I momentarily thought that maybe I would get an ulcer from eating too much hot sauce. Apparently this is not true. According to my research, eating hot peppers or [...]
Indian and Thai
June 17, 2009
My family and I had dinner at Indian Flavour buffet a few nights ago. I’ve been to this restaurant twice now and each time I’ve been there the place has been empty except for two or three other people. This is a bit surprising as the food, in my opinion, is quite delicious and full [...]
