Snack #10: Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips
I absolutely love Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla chips. They have the saltiness of standard tortilla chips while providing that unusual sweet from sweet potato flavor. I like to dip them with hummus so it always offers a nice contrast. If you need some variety from standard tortilla chips, these are a great option. From the […]
Snack #9: Karison’s Toasted Corn
I was looking for snacks to add into the weekly rotation and came across Karison’s Toasted Corn at Punjabi Deli. The small 5oz bag was only $2. It has a simple ingredient list of sweet corn, salt and canola oil. It’s also made locally in Flushing, NY too boot. They give you a great crunch. […]
30 Rock: Corn!
I’m a big fan of the NBC Comedy show 30 Rock. You have to admire the writing on this show. No other food related gag has stuck this close. The clip below is from season 5, episode 2 (When It Rains, It Pours). I check ingredient lists for practically everything. Corn, corn starch, and corn […]
Snack #8: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia
Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia, are we starting to get serious? This makes twice in a row I bought you over plain jane Bhujia at the legendary Punjabi Deli. Your flavor is extremely different. You have the familiar potato flavor profile but along with it you get a hint of mint (mint powder) and a pleasant citrus […]
Snack #7: Tao Kae Noi Japanese Crispy Seaweed
Tao Kae Noi Japanese Crispy Seawead Seaweed is either starting to get trendy or a distributor seems to be cutting some good deals as it’s available at my two nearest bodegas. I had to try it out. How could I not? Look at how happy the fellow on the front of the packet looks. Don’t […]
The latest food inspiration from my landlord: Barbeque
Yesterday the Landlord and company were having the best smelling barbeque. He has unwittingly provided me food ideas multiple times lately. The closest I had to barbeque was a McCormick Mesquite spice which I mixed with panko breadcrumbs and coated chicken burgers. I opted for pan-frying. They turned out great. They had just the […]

Valentine’s Day just ended so the candy hearts are gone at retail outlets. There is no lag time these days between holidays, this means they’re already stocked up for Easter related stuff. […]
Updated: Unnecessary Liveblogging – Spoonbread is done
Update: Please see before and after pictures below. Spoonbread is not the most photo friendly food but it was delicious. It works well with baked beans because it’s fun to breakup and add into the sauce.It’s also covertly a desert since our version was on the sweet side. We made a few modifications from the […]
Unnecessary Liveblogging: Spoonbread is forthcoming…..this is very exciting
The spoonbread will be ready in around 30 minutes and I’m super excited. I don’t know much about baking and am a cornbread novice. (Not counting a delicious Chi-Chi’s Sweet Corn Cake packet from the grocery. I can’t find a link to the product itself so that is a copycat link). Yesterday I mentioned on […]
Looking for inspiration on healthy, easy meals? Check with your landlord.
Everyone gets in a food rut from time to time. And a difficult week can really kill your urge to make delicious meals. Sometimes though, the answer of what to cook comes right to your nose. I don’t know what happened in the last few months, but suddenly my landlord and/or his family learned to […]
