I have my phases with alcohol.  There was a time when I was into cheap gin.  I would get a bottle from the 711 near my place and cartons of chocolate milk.  I would take a straw for their Slurpee and head on home feeling so good I could almost dance. I would open the read more »

When times are hard, the drinks do not have to get soft.  On my last semester in uni, I wanted to have my own money so bad so I can have Absolut in my freezer.  When you are just starting out, you start low and Absolut is not exactly cheap.  Good ol’ uni stuck on read more »

I have never been a fan of beer.  Back in uni, where everything you do has to be on a budget, there was a time when I would have a couple bottles of five hundred milliltres of beer for lunch.  I only had that one brand because it was the only one I could swallow read more »

I grew up to instant noodles and bananas.  When I got off the feeding bottle at nine months old, mum said I was a very picky solids eater and that was all I would have.  We would spend three hours at the dining table if dad would insist on the entire family having the same read more »

I personally like getting hammered out of my head.  I see no point in drinking without doing until you pass out.  People have a problem with that.  One perception of it is that the drunk needs to be taken cared of.  For those who want to help the drunk, do it without holding it against read more »

Who loves cookouts, barbecue parties and just cooking good food in general? Then you’ve probably asked that crucial question: Which grill is good for me? While I may not be able to offer answers, I could give you some of the questions you need to ask when you’re about to go out and buy a read more »

The caesar salad is the easiest salad to make, because it’s the most common that people make and it contains very common ingredients that can be found in any market across the world. Of course, though I’m a fan of make-your-own food, I still appreciate those pre-prepared things, so for the croutons just buy the read more »

I find most of the store-bought barbecue sauce way too salty, and so I like making a mix of my own barbecue sauce. I combine (and everything is eyeballed and taste-tested as I make it, so I don’t really have particular measurements) tomato sauce, soy sauce, a bit of Worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic, chopped white read more »

We all love it but we never know what is in it.  The name itself is a complete irony.  It does not have a thousand ingredients (Italian dressing has more) as some of the ignoramus believe.  If you ask me it is probably because of the thousand variations you can have of it. The most read more »

Sometimes when a recipe has too many ingredients, most of us tend to think twice on trying to make it. Be not afraid of the lengthy list of ingredients, more often than not, all you have to do is toss them all together and wait.  One good example is the Italian dressing. The recipe seems read more »

I have been searching for an easy honey-mustard dipping sauce.  Getting it in a bottle from the shop is convenient and saves you a lot of time but you cannot really play with the flavor plus you need to shell out extra dough. It is also definitely better to make your own so you know read more »

New York Fries (or simply NYF) is one of my favorite specialty joints.  Their fries are thickly cut, and believe it or not, they are healthy.  From their sunflower oil to their cheese and gravy, all are trans fat free. You have four options with your potatoes.  You can have the Classic Fries which are read more »
