I’m thinking Arbys

Ok, so it’s been a while since i’ve posted here. Quite a bit has been going on and well, I have to admit that I forgot about this site for a while. But anyways have you seen this new commercial for Arby’s? It’s so wrong on so many levels, but also very very hilarious. You [...]

Yoshi-Yakisoba

If you’re wondering, that’s a nickname that my arch-nemesis Swan gave me. She really loves to make fun of me.

If you’ve been to Japan or been exposed to Japanese culture, then you’ve probably heard of Yakisoba. When it comes to Yakisoba, it always reminds me of summer, and all the festivals. Because at just about [...]

Pizza Hut Tuscani pastas

Perhaps you’ve seen that Pizza Hut is now offering pasta. You can get 2 different kinds of “Tuscani” pasta, alfredo or marinara. We tried out the alfredo sauce pasta since red sauce seems to be notorious for causing serious heartburn in this household. You know what, it wasn’t bad at all. Actually it was pretty [...]

Making gyoza

So yesterday, I spent some time making some Gyoza. If the word “gyoza” is greek to you, and you’re not sure what it is, I’ll explain. It’s also known as Mandu or Chinese dumplings, or it’s most common name of “pot stickers”. I make mine less vegetarian and quite meaty. I use ground pork and [...]

“Downer” cows entered food supply

It’s been reported that “Downer” cows entered the food supply. The president of Westland/Hallmark Meat Company admitted that a couple of “downer” cows could have entered the food supply. Prior to this, he had said that no such cows have entered the food supply. So now, he’s admitting he’s wrong.

“Downer” cows is the term used [...]

How clean is your water?

It seems the phrase “Don’t drink the water” can now be applied to water in the USA. You might may recall cybrpunk being sick because he drank some water in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Well, what if you went to a restaurant in San Francisco and got sick too?

Apparently, prescription drugs are being distributed into the [...]

Robert Irvine of Dinner Impossible – Liar and a Chef?

I realize this is old news, but I thought I had to say something about it. If you haven’t heard, it appears that the star of Food Network’s Dinner Impossible, Robert Irvine, apparently lied about various work experiences on his website and books. It would appear he had an answer for all the questions [...]

USDA suspends 2 federal meat inspectors

So the USDA is taking action and suspended 2 federal meat inspectors after this last recall of 143 million pounds of beef. This is interesting because it makes me think of a couple of things.

First, it looks like the USDA is doing something about the corruption in the process of inspection. Obviously someone is getting [...]

Kimchi in Space

This is a crosspost from Kat Scratch Fever

Ok, so have you heard of this? Kimchi in Space. It apparently took them a while to formulate a type of kimchi that wouldn’t be harmful. I mean first of all the smell. Wow, they have to get rid of that. Then aside from that because there’s bacteria [...]
