Does it sound thrilling to get paid $9,000 per month to have people watch you eat food online? As with anything on the internet, there is a market for that. It’s called “gastronomic voyeurism.” According to Reuters, at least 3,500 of these internet shows stream in South Korea. In the picture is Park Seo-Yeon who […]
Sweet Saturday: Maria Tepoztlan Chili Chocolate Review (200g, Yucatan, Mexico)
This beautiful chocolate box was purchased at the duty free store in Cancun, Mexico. For my money, there just aren’t enough chili flavored chocolate goods on the American market. How amazing would it be if a mainstream company like Hershey’s came out with a bar that provided the punch of a little ground chili? Or […]

Little Aussie Bakery Gluten Free Sampler Review– Mailing Throughout the U.S
Little Aussie is a bakery based in San Antonio, Texas. Founded by two registered nurses, they offer a variety of baked goods from breads to sweets.

Refried Beans Recipe
Refried beans are a simple dish made from mashed beans, most often black or red. The name is somewhat of a misnomer however as the beans are usually simmered (if dried), cooked in a pan, and then mashed.

Alice White Red Lexia Wine 2009 Review
Alice White, based in South Eastern Australia makes good, affordable wines. Always eager to check out new (to me) combos, this Red Lexia was purchased at Bay River for $10.99. 1st Night: It pours a purty shade of pinkish red. The aroma is pleasant, if a little sweet. It’s like a cross between zinfandel and […]
Tiki Gold Coconut Craze (Product of Trinidad & Tobago)
Tiki Gold bars hail from the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago. Given its island roots, coconut flavoring isn’t surprising. It’s an average size candy bar with a chocolate coating and multiple wafer tiers. On opening the packet a sweet coconut aroma emerges which is frustrating since there is no real coconut in the bar. […]
Is there a difference between bourbon and whiskey?
According to this article from Smithsonian Magazine there is a way to differentiate between whiskey and bourbon. UC-Davis’s Tom Collins (great name in this context) researched the chemical differences between 60 different whiskeys including Tennessee, ryes, bourbons and others. He found over 4,000 “non-volatile compounds.” There are components that are barrel derived, as we would […]
Lesser Evil Super 4 White Bean Bites Review
Lesser Evil’s Super 4 reads like a who’s who of SEO terms/hot foods right now, featuring quinoa, lentil, chia and white bean. The full description is “Superfood Alkaline Crunchy White Bean Bites” which to me reads like a title for a psychedelic album. Most snacks will feature one or two icons such as gluten free […]
