    Why I suck at “Customer Service”…

    Saturday, January 21, 2012

    It’s Saturday and I’m laying across my bed, with The Wire playing in the background. I figured I would try something new tonight. I’m angry… furious actually. I’m so sick and tired of dealing with people who think that I’m this large company that can sit and write page long emails to their questions that [...]

Anyways, things are changing. Okay, well, specifically, I’m changing. When I say changing, I’m talking whiplash amounts. And believe me when [...]

    my life list

    Thursday, June 16, 2011

    So, I’m working on a life list. I hate the word bucket, so bucket list is definitely out of the question. These are things that I would like to do before I pass this life here on earth. Some of them may make sense, some of them may not. But, at the end of the [...]

    the new chef apple, from tomboy to glamour girl and the adventure in-between

    Tuesday, May 17, 2011

    A few weeks ago, I braved the end of a month long battle with a mean flu bug which resulted in a case of walking pneumonia, to travel to New York and visit for the first time, a dear friend of mine at his Harlem based studio. I met Bryan – a fast up and [...]

    Tuesday, May 10, 2011

    Two years ago, I sat down at my computer and began writing. I really didn’t have much direction or knew what I was going to do, but I knew that I wanted to do something about food. So, what you see here is the culmination of two years. I wanted to put together a post [...]

    have-you-ever-had-hot-vit-lon-half-hatched-duck-eggs

    Sunday, September 19, 2010

    Like I revealed I was in a pretty intense relationship with a Vietnamese native and while in that relationship I experienced interesting things with their food.  Other than pho (pronounced fuh) the next thing I experimented with was hot vit lon (pronounced hoht veet lone) — fertilized duck eggs that are partway incubated. I call them [...]

    the incredibly true secrets and techniques to basic pho…

    Thursday, September 16, 2010

    So about a year ago I became addicted to the wonders of pho (pronounced fuh) and as a non Vietnamese person it is damn near impossible to get a Vietnamese person to share their recipes with you.

The results were similar to some of the other findings in the other tests that I took so that was very comforting. Essentially what this test’s goal is to discover one’s learning style.
