School’s moving right along now. We’re not quite to the “same ol’ grind” stage, but just thinking about the grind made me hungry. For a grinder. Also known as a sub sandwich or a hoagie. (I can hear the purists lining up now to load up their sligshots with gobstoppers for ammo. Okay, they’re not [...] Read more »

A post today on the CNN International website reminds me of some of the meals I ate while visiting Singapore. The post lists five weird dishes that Singaporeans enjoy:
Kacang Phool
Fuzhou UFOs
Eel Skin Crisps
Steamed Shark’s Head
Alligator Paws
I’m no Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. I am a bit adventurous with what I eat. I draw the line [...] Read more »

I don’t normally see enough news to make even one Friday Follies edition in a week. Recently, though, it’s been a real boom! Like this article, about a new invention that will surely revolutionize rice crop production in Japan, where even the smallest bit of space gets used to grow food.

The answers to your questions are, in order: Yes; No; Maybe. Yes, we’re making progress on getting the house ready. No, we’re not done. (Not even close.) Maybe we’ll make our deadline. (Maybe not.) PJ’s thinking about installing wood flooring in my previous office, where the carpet took fourteen year’s worth of abuse. Oh my [...] Read more »

The Month of Eating Dangerously continues! Even though cold weather has hit us in central Texas, we’re still using our grills. (We enjoy tennis year-round too; just don’t let any Yankees in on our secret.) Here’s a grilled chicken dish that has just enough punch to make the MOED list:
Smokin’ Hot Orange Chicken
Okay, it’s really [...] Read more »

A couple months back, the Chile Underground declared Asian Noodles Month; it was an instant hit. (Don’t groan! Okay, go ahead, you need it.) However, some visitors were a little concerned that some of the instant noodle varieties weren’t very healthy. While I think they’re better than certain fast food meals I could name (but [...] Read more »

The end of Asian Noodles Month is upon us. Good thing it doesn’t weigh too much! Sorry, couldn’t control myself; I’ll keep my day job for now…
It’s been a fine inaugural month for an event that I hope to repeat next year, bigger and better. If you have any ideas how to improve the goings-on [...] Read more »

As our busy lives press forward, sometimes seemingly outrunning us in the process, we still need to eat. Thank goodness for instant noodles! A quick snack or a fast meal on the run, these simple, tasty concoctions can help you keep up (or catch up) with your lifestyle.
For instance, I’m working on four lectures for [...] Read more »
