Hungry Mole
Hi,
I’ve recently been concentrating on writing for my food-related blog, Hungry Mole Journals. Please follow my ponderings there.
Perhaps, when I’m ready again, I’ll be updating this blog.

Charles Bukowski, "Style"
Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without style. To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art. Bullfighting can be an art. Boxing can be an art. Loving can be an art. Opening a can of sardines can be an art. Not many have style. Not many can keep style. I have seen...

I think too much: One giant balloon
Why is it that my thoughts are always unfinished and my mind jumps from place to place? I’m constantly up in the air no matter how much I really want to be grounded. If you look through my Finder, I have countless unfinished essays, letters, notes, Moleskin journal entries, and blog posts all orphaned and waiting for my return. They are like thoughts that are just floating in the air, in balloons...

I think too much: Decay
I just went to the bathroom and saw Mike’s deodorant in the trash can. It surprises me how he could finish a seemingly endless stick of Natural scented Right Guard deodorant. This has no connection to the fact that I don’t use deodorant and am therefore incapable of knowing how long deodorants last. When his bar of Dove soap shrivels to the size of a bean, when our tube of Extreme Clean toothpaste...

WatchI think too much: Even Brad Pitt has friends
Most recently, my friend, Nadia, was casted to play a small but important guest role on the TV series, Blue Bloods. She was saved by the guy from NKOTB. According to my other friend, this is a big deal; I suppose he’s right. She’s been trying this acting thing since we graduated from college in 2005 and, while she’s been in several off-Broadway...

I eat too much: My attempt at vegetarianism at...
I know there are people who hate vegetables, probably most people do or at least most Americans do but I never thought that I would have to live with a veggie-hater! I live with a man, my soon-to-be-husband, who thinks that I should give him a medal every time he eats the lettuce and tomatoes, vegetables he calls, in his burger. Can you just see my eyes widen as I say this? Or perhaps you think I...

I eat too much: Kin Shop
Last Friday, my bf and I went on a little date to try out Kin Shop. This is one of the two new buzzy “Thai” restaurants right now, the other one being Lotus of Siam. I don’t believe the restaurant is trying to go for authenticity. And I don’t really care about authenticity either; I only care about good food. In any case, as if a disclaimer, Kin Shop describes its food as...

I eat too much: Buckwheat pancakes with pineapple...
It’s definitely Winter now and it’s harder to get our butts out the door to munch on our brunch favorites. That means it’s time to bring weekend brunches indoors.
This morning, we made some buckwheat pancakes topped with a pineapple maple syrup served alongside some crispy bacon. Why buckwheat? Three reasons: It sounds healthier. I have a whole bag of buckwheat flour that I...
