The Number 50 Disher

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Our adventures in Boston this summer as a family involved three critical things: My Uncle's family (and the discovery of Katamari on PS2); Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT (though I prefer Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT, because they don't have sea turtles at Mystic.) Wrentham Outlets...where we kinda raided the kitchen supply stores, ...

Junky Food Spree

Monday, September 1st, 2008

As a rather last minute decision, I bummed a ride home with Susan yesterday and will be home for another 24 hours or so. Life at home after a week at school is pretty sweet. It definite felt different from coming home to this place every night, but it's a ...

CSHL Feeds Me; I Can Feed Myself

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

CSHL. So, lucky me, I got to wake up at 6:07 (it's a prime number) on Thursday and stroll on over to the LIRR station. It was a quiet walk, but the icy dew on the grass soaked through my Nikes and eventually stained my socks. Time to bring them home ...

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

If you haven't heard, when my foreign language skills are not in use, my memory seems to give priority to food-related vocabulary and phrases. Yesterday, Mom and I made a stop at Sunrise Mart. After browsing at their excellent selection of Japanese groceries and snacks, I ultimately decided to get dango! ...

Catching Up

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Lately, I have been horrible with my eating. In fact, I will even go as far as saying I've been a nutrition badass, in the worst way possible.As if the random and between homework snackage isn't enough, dessert tonight involved another sugar rush.These are little bundles of sponge cake, covered ...

Chocolate Cóco Ice Cream

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

After much personal anticipation, I decided to toast coconut flakes under the broiler tonight. Then I did that spooning technique to make egg-shaped ellipsoids of chocolate ice cream to be topped off with rainbow sprinkles and the toasted coconut.But that wasn't enough. That wasn't it. No, there was more.To finish ...

Magnificent Marzipan

Friday, January 12th, 2007

After many queries, most notably between myself and Erick, I finally had the opportunity to try marzipan.Marzipan, as I had learned beforehand on Wikipedia, is confection made from almond paste and sugar. It has the consistency of Play-Doh and most people will take advantage of this property by molding marzipan ...
