It’s well known amongst my friends and family and, well, roommates, that I, in general, abhor bananas. I walk into a room, ask “Who the hell at the banana?!”, and the poor potassium-loving soul meekly steps up. “I did.. but it was 12 hours ago! And I threw the peel in the trash outside!” That’s [...]

Blowin’ your mind, one pre-dinner snocone at a time.
As you all know from reading my lengthy autobiography, I am a major fan of snocones. Though I’m not sure “snocone” is the right word. I like one snocone in particular, to which I am loyal to the death: Cherry cola. With cream. Oh, oh oh. Oh. Sadly, the only snocones I could find back [...]

Impress her with your microwave!
Yeah, I said it. The impossible has become.. possible. And it was a giant step for guykind. About a year ago, I ran into this fantastic recipe on an all-around fantastic blog. I’m not a huge chocolate cake person, save this wonderful Texas chocolate sheet cake my mother makes and the Vegan Deep Chocolate cake [...]

Hostess with the mostest.
Soooooo, about a year ago, I buckled down and kitsched out, made some look alike Hostess cupcakes. I’m not even sure why, really; all I know is that my family begs me to make those babies again and again. Thankfully, the recipe was only a look alike, not a copycat recipe. Why, you ask? The [...]

Tikka Masala: A Long and Winding Road.

OK, well, maybe not that intense, but it’s certainly been a journey. It started out with my best friends from high school, eating [...]

Vive la France!.. but.. you know, in America.
So, today is Bastille Day. AND, more importantly (but don’t tell the French), the début (obvious tribute to the Frenchies) of the Legally Eating video blog, which can also be seen on my YouTube channel. As I mentioned in the vlog, I spent the fall studying in Paris at the Sorbonne, and I, uhh, loved [...]

Operation Spicy and Weird: Tom Kha… Cupcakes!
It’s probably a pretty well known fact that I absolutely adore tom kha, the Thai coconut soup with lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal, and chilis. Oh. And I kinda love cupcakes, too. The other day I was hanging out with some friends from high school, when I discovered my friend Erica was also quite a foodie. [...]

¡Ay caramba! Blackberries jubilee!
So, ever since my delicious, but fire-failed attempt at cherries jubilee, I’ve been obsessed with fire on my food. Not under my food. On my food. The other day at Costco or something, we picked up a nice box of blackberries since they’re pretty much the best thing ever. Wondering what to do with them, [...]

When you want your food to catch fire,
it won’t. When you don’t want your food to catch fire, it.. probably will. Well, that’s another story. For another day. I’ve been dying to make cherries jubilee for a while now, if only to be able to light something on fire that I’d later eat. I found a can of tart cherries downstairs and [...]
