!@#$%^&*()[]…

Waiting for the 6 train at Union Square:
Drunk: Well I’d ask your names…but…I guess I’ll be blank. I’m blank.
Friend: Yeah, I’m blank too.
Slim: I’ll be dot-dot-dot.
Drunk: Oh really, well, my friend here, he’s Backspace. That other guy is Shift. And this guy here will be Control-alt-delete.
Friend: Well I’ll be Right Parenthesis.
Drunk: Well this is Juno…I [...]

Easy as Boiling a Pot of Water

People are always amazed to see that I can cook. I never understood why knowing how to cook is such an accomplishment. It’s either you cook your food or starve: pretty basic necessity since the dawn of man. Cooking really isn’t that hard. I mean, the only way you can fail at cooking is that [...]

Cook Your Food Stupid

I’m a huge advocate of cooking your own food rather than eating out. Although eating out is fun and occasionally unavoidable, nothing beats the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal. Not only can you control what goes in it, but it saves so much more money than eating the same meal at a restaurant.
College students especially [...]

Ya Gotta Shop Around

Is it bad that I get more excited to see what’s on sale at my local supermarket than at any clothing store?

Product Honesty

Nothing complements a bowl of jajangmyeon like some nice, sweet danmooji (pickled yellow radish). The sweetness of the danmooji just fits so well with the black jajang sauce.

But then i turned the package around and saw this:

Ristorante Italiano

I have to confess: I’m not a fan of Italian restaurants.
Don’t get me wrong! I love Italian food, but I’d much rather make it myself from store bought pasta and sauce than go to a fancy place and pay up the wazoo for the same stuff.
Seriously, every Italian place I’ve gone to I have left [...]

New FroYo in Town

Move aside Pinkberry, Berrywild is coming in.
On 3rd ave. between 29 & 30 (more towards 30th), there’s a new frozen yogurt joint called Berrywild. Out of all the frozen yogurt places I’ve hit up in NYC, this is the best. Plus, it’s open pretty late.
They have 2 types of frozen yogurt: the Berry Smooth and [...]

Real Fortunes

Every time I eat a fortune cookie and read the so-called “fortune,” I always gripe about how they’re not really fortunes but just wise sayings. I don’t care about that Confucius says that a wise man is slow to judge. If the name says “Fortune Cookie” then I want my fortune told. Either that, or [...]

Can’t Resist a Good Flaky Pastry

Whether it be a strudel, croissant or turnover, I can’t resist that flaky dough and Tisserie delivers when it comes to those pastries. Their baked goods carry just enough crunch and flakiness and the buttery taste doesn’t feel greasy or heavy at all. I’ve had many of their Apple Chaussons and Apple Pockets (both of [...]

Glutton for a Good Sorbet

My friend and I were craving something sweet and fruity one night and a sorbet fit right into our craving. After much contemplation, we bought a pint of Ciao Bella’s Blackberry Cabernet Sorbet. Now, I’m not a huge fan of alcoholic beverages or the like, so I was a little bit skeptic about this flavor. [...]
