I have seen the future of Soda… and it is glorious! The Coke Freestyle is a soda dispenser capable of mixing a multitude of flavors, up to 104 to be precise, which is exactly what this machine. It uses inkjet style technology to precisely mix together different flavorings. Coke is just starting to roll out […]

Ahh… the Japanese Mountain Yam. A most strange and curious tuber, and the one type of yam that can be eaten raw (the orange things you get in super market are really sweet potatoes, not yams). It is a rather bland, lacking any distinct flavor. Its only saving grace, is that it turn a mucousy […]

When Luke came home from the farmers’ market with 10 pounds of second tomatoes, we had to figure out something to do with them. Roasting all the tomatoes seemed like a good idea, and then we found this soup recipe in a book cleverly named Soup by Debra Mayhew. It was a pretty quick (besides […]

Necessity is the mother of invention…and sometimes really great dishes. This dish came about because we were low on milk and couldn’t go without it in out coffee.

If you ever want anything interesting to happen to you… leave anything with a camera in it at home. It seems to work without fail. I stopped by the Eat Wonky Truck (see my earlier post on their Fabulous Fries) and a got a Wonky Dog (an all-beef Hot Dog covered in Poutine). Of course, […]
