Kale Force 3000…This Time It’s Personal (Kale Drink Recipe)
Kale is always in the RoodonFood fridge. Occasionally cooked on the stove top, most gets thrown into daily drinks . Via books like Kris Carr’s, I’ve learned that the leaves are tasty in raw, drink form and nutritious too boot (B6, C, K among others). Health books often recommend expensive juicers. If you can afford […]
National Foods Mariquitas Plaintain Strips Review (Gluten Free, Vegan)
These are a great brand of plantain chips. On sale for only a $1, the Mariquitas are oddly long, well, strips of plantain. They taste less salty than many others. The crunch level is in the sweet spot between rock hard and almost chewy. These would be a good introduction for folks who haven’t tried […]
Peanut Butter & Co’s White Chocolate Wonderful
Peanut Butter & Co makes the best stuff. I’ve walked by 240 Sullivan, location of their sandwich shop countless times but never stopped to go in. Thanks to a Groupon deal, I finally did. For $12 we got 4 jars. They even provided a reusable branded bag. Afterwards I made the weekly trip to Jefferson […]
PopCorners Caramel Review (Gluten Free)
The PopCorners Caramel flavor chips are a great addition into the snacking repertoire. The bag is 5oz with about 5 servings per bag. On sale at the local grocery store for $1.50, these were a steal. They’re air popped, and as such have a certain lightness. The caramel is only moderately sweet. An adequate amount […]
Food Song of the Month: Tom Waits “Eggs and Sausage” from Nighthawks at the Diner
For the first song of the month and year, this is an artist close to my heart. You either like Tom Waits or you don’t. The best description I’ve ever heard of his style is junk yard rock. “Eggs and Sausage,” ostensibly a break up song, brings to mind late night trips to diners. Often […]
Lake Trout Stout (Sebago Brewing, 4.7%, Maine)
The beer pours a minimal head. The aroma is super malty. Despite stouts being lighter in calories than many other beers, this one feels a little heavy. The beer does contain chocolate malt but more coffee notes are present. It has plenty of hoppiness to make a regular stout drinker happy. Pretty solid stout out […]

(Closed) Russian Coriander Rye Bread and the Creation of a Legend
Wistfully, I thought many times of Grevico Bread’s (129-3 Brighton 1st Street) Russian coriander rye since trying it back in August. Located in the heavily Russo-Eastern European neighborhood of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn I wasn’t sure how a businesses like it held up post-Sandy. I was glad to see this small storefront up and running and […]
Brad’s Organic Salsa Verde Tortilla Chips Review (9oz, Gluten Free)
The packaging says “Full of Flavor & Nutrition.” Per 9 chip serving there is 11% fiber, 2% calcium and 2% iron. Perhaps not chock full exactly but the fiber is impressive. Brad’s face as a little kid is featured all over the bag. You were a cute kid, we get it. You don’t have to […]
Alleycat Amber Ale Review (Lost Coast Brewing, 5.5% ABV)
This beer was another from my brother’s Beer of the Month club. The last experience wasn’t great but it’s a new day and a new beer. Alleycat Amber Ale comes from Lost Coast Brewing in Eureka, CA. This is a respectable ale. It pours a thin head and a medium amber tone. The aroma is […]
