This is my first full course attempt and it was a journey and a half. First off I just want to say that I hate chicken. It's fatty and it's bloody and it is weird on the fingers and I can't stand in. I'm a terrible cook. Huge props go out to my sister Yvonne who cleaned most of the chicken for me while I cooked her ground beef. Teamwork. Below is the recipe for the Pineapple Chicken. Basically

I'll be making a fun dinner later this week, but today I decided to make a dessert for after dinner today. I had to consider a few things while making it. First off my parents have dropped chocolate for lent. Props to them. Secondly, I needed a healthy choice that would work for my family. I decided to take the journey never traveled by my family and make some Apple Toffee Cake. Today's recipe

This recipe takes about five minutes and will yield a serving for two people, or an adult and a small child.  Ingredients 1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced. 2 cups of frozen strawberries, raspberries or cherries. I chose raspberries, since they are what I had on hand. 1 cup of milk. 1/2 cup of plain or vanilla yogurt. I chose plain yogurt. It was all I could find on the shelf available

It's 12 O'clock on a Sunday and the regular crowd settles in. There's an old man sitting next to me, making love to his bottle of gin. He says son can you teach me a recipe, I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's hot and it's sweet and I tasted it complete when I wore a younger mans clothes. Okay, I know, terrible attempt at a remake of Piano Man, but give me a break. Give me a Kit-Kat. It's

I knew this would be hard, but I didn't think it would be this hard. I'm slowly getting over my recent illness and I've lost my interest in food. I know what you're thinking, I've been doing this for a little over a week and I'm no longer interested, something seems off. I'm still going to blog and I am going to EVENTUALLY get around to cooking something, but I can't bring myself to cook when

The Food Network is great, don't get me wrong. I love watching chefs making great meals at reasonable prices. Unfortunately TV wasn't designed for the Food Network. Someday when Smell-O-Vision comes into play, the Food Network will be great, right beside the flower network and the "name that smell" network. Until then, we are all forced to watch and hate the Food Network. Let's be honest, you're

This post is my way of sending my thoughts to the people of Japan. I've been following the events the past few days and I am on top of all that is happening. Two days ago when the earthquake hit Japan and the tsunami washed ashore, I was shocked to see the pictures and hear the stories of how terrible it was. Continuing into today though, we see that there has been an explosion at the nuclear

To cook with certain meats, you must know your meats. I have chosen four meats and I will share some of the most interesting facts. I hope you learn something. CHICKEN In 2007, 21 percent of a chickens weight was contributed to the breast. The average American eats over 80 pounds of chicken a year. There are over 3.6 billion chickens in China. Skin color is determined by what the chicken eats.

Two days ago, I said I'd make smoothies. As it turns out I'm in no condition to be making smoothies. Today, I'm in no condition once again. So once I am well I will make something, until then everyone just hang tight and watch some Star Trek. It will make you feel a little bit better and you can use it to get over your lack of entertainment, aka this blog. I'll keep trying to post once a day. It

Everyone loves a sick day. Whether that be from work, school or just life in general. That being said, if you could plan your sick days, or they always fell around the same time each year, it would be a bit easier to plan things. Then you have the wave of highs and lows in a sickness. You're sick, sicker, sicker, then you feel better, you feel great and then another wave of sickness hits you and

I hope you notice that I didn't add the How. The How is obvious. Clearly I am typing this to you upon my 19th Century typewriter, removing the finished document, handing the recently inked paper to my colleagues and copy and pasting this bad boy on to this site we all use called blogger. I'll pause briefly to give you time to understand everything I just said. Basically this post is to sum up

It's always been a task to come up with what to blog about. Being a journalist, there were many times in school that we had to develop blogs and maintain them. I could never figure out who or what to write about, let alone imagine have it becoming something either myself or my readers would eventually grow to love. Today, I decided to attempt blogging once again, not for you who may be reading
