Domino’s Pizza Now Offering Gluten Free Pizza
Good news for Gluten Intolerant folks: Domino’s now offers a 10 inch Gluten Free Pizza . They can’t guarantee the crust doesn’t come into contact with glutinous ingredients so it’s better for those who have sensitivity rather than those who are intolerant. Article: The company’s new gluten-free crust is made from rice flour, potato starch, […]
How to Cook Onions: Validation from Slate
From the article: How to Cook Onions in Slate In truth, the best time to caramelize onions is yesterday. Often enough, you need to have them ready before you can start on the rest of the dish. Thus the recipe-writers’ impulse to deceive. Browning onions is slow work, and it comes first. So get a […]
Stonyfield Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt: Super Fruits
Stonyfield is one of the best yogurt brands out there. They’ve stuck to the principles of no strange additives and the milk used is organic. They give 10% of profits to environmental causes as well. My favorite Stonyfield flavor is called Chocolate Undergroud because it has vanilla on top and chocolate on the bottom. It’s […]
Haldiram’s Karodpati
Haldiram’s Karodpati are a fun treat. Unlike several of the previously reviewed snacks, there is no amchur or similar spice to create a tang. This snack is all about crunch. Once again the primary ingredient is the tepary bean. The flavor is reminiscent of ganthia but with more spice. On a spice scale of 1 […]
Food and Wine Pairing: roast beef swiss sandwich + red wine (Rex Goliath Pinot Noir)
I never write about wine because it’s honestly still a little intimidating. Since beginning dating a special someone years ago I developed an interest.

Awesome Foods: toasted muffins with butter
One of the simple pleasures of living in the NJ/NY/CT area is the toasted muffin with butter. I got this Banana Nut Muffin at Bagels and Wraps located at 523 5th Ave between 13th/14th in Park Slope Brooklyn for $2.25. I go to this particular shop because there is a curmudgeonly man who works there […]
Sesmark Rice Thins: Sesame
I guess it was bound to happen. I finally had a rice cracker I didn’t care for. The Sesmark Sesame Rice Thins are good quality but don’t taste the way you expect from rice crackers. The package contains around 64 crackers and the weights 4.25 ounces. Again rice crackers weigh a lot less but still […]
Jay’s Caribbean Cuisine in Lawrenceville (metro Atlanta)
One of my favorite things to do while visiting family is to introduce them to new foods. My parents are based in Lawrenceville Georgia, an Atlanta suburb. It’s easy to drive around this large metropolis and only notice the strip malls full of nail salons, bail bondsman and laudromats. If you drop your cynicism though […]
Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame): Gluten Free
When my girlfriend switched to gluten free it caused a reassessment in what to buy when we snack together. A happy discovery was rice crackers. Lately I’ve enjoyed the Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame) (another good brand is the ubiquitous KA-ME). They’re baked and low in fat. The packet was only $1.79 for a 3.5 […]
