Random Food Things
I got a TofuXpress for Christmas. Yes, a handy dandy tofu press that squeezes out excess water. No more balancing books on plates and no more slanted bricks of tofu. This heavy duty spring keeps pressing, and pressing hard, as excess water pools above. It’s sturdy and spacious… I shoulda patented it when I first [...]
Dumpling Soup
This week’s lunch needs to be simple and hearty. It needs all my servings of vegetables; it needs carbohydrates. Most of all it needs taste. With Herbs de Provence, a vegetable bouillon, rosemary, fresh parsley and more basil, the thick soup packs a flavor punch that will get better everyday… as the herbs meet, greet [...]
Food & Song
The cold weather means a weekly batch of soup. Soul-warming soup. We’re still here in autumn so here is a preview of my looming soup-a-thon, a scrumptious carrot and coconut milk soup in autumn’s color. Acorn squash stuffed with wheat berry, pecans, cranberry and green onion. A hearty edible bowl. If I was a superhero [...]
Summer Eats: Bánh mì
Bánh mì is the perfect summer eat. It’s vibrant, flavorful and not too heavy.

Eating Good In the Neighborhood
No, Applebee’s did not open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. (Not yet at least.) It’s Banh Mi, an authentic Vietnamese eatery with all the staples: bubble tea, pho, bun and, like the name implies, Bahn Mi! They took over where the Curves gym once was and I am delighted to welcome them to my neighborhood, the WES (I [...]
Raw, Day 2
It’s day two and time to step it up a notch. Having a craving for a non-wet nourishing goody en route to class, I treated myself to a package of Raweo! by Blessings Alive & Radiant Food. At $8.69 a bag, they were a When In Rome-ism, a sign of my commitment for this raw [...]
Raw, Day 1
Day 1 of my raw week went well. I was impressed with how satiated I was and how energetic I felt all day. A breakfast of ground almonds, sunflower seeds and pepitas will do that, I guess. But once evening rolled around, however, I was craving bread, pretzels, pancakes and, strangely, Alphabits cereal. Hmmm. Wok [...]
