This Documentary Will Make You Reconsider Your Dietary Habits

January 28, 2012 in Products

I’ve watched a bunch of food documentaries, and to tell you the truth, none of them have made me consider changing my dietary habits, but after watching Forks Over Knives, well, I’m ready to reduce my consumption of meat and diary by quite a bit.

I’m not going to spoil it for you, just watch it and decide for yourself. Much of the information in the documentary seems to be common sense and it will make you wonder why not more people adopting a healthier lifestyle. The data from long term studies presented in the documentary make quite a compelling case. Who knows? It may make you reconsider the way you eat.  You can purchase it online or catch it on Netflix.

Sweet Potato Fries Showdown!

January 23, 2012 in Chewings, Products, reviews

Oh sweet potato fries, thank you for being so delicious, nutritious, and…delicious.  I ate Alexia’s Sweet Potato Fries for the longest time, but I recently switched over to Trader Joe’s brand of Sweet Potato Fries.  While the price of the sweet potato fries from Trader Joe’s did play a role in changing brands, they just taste better!  Below is a completely non-scientific comparison of the two brands.

Popovers Do Exactly Just That…Popover!

January 15, 2012 in Chewings, Recipes

I had popovers for the first time at Wayfare Tavern in San Francisco last week.  Sadly to say, I think I liked them more than the main course.  The restaurant was good, but not great.  When I returned to Chicago, I found  a recipe online for making popovers from scratch, but the instructions left out some important details, so I did my best to fill in the gaps.

San Francisco Does Sushi Right

January 7, 2012 in Chewings, Dining Out

There’s something about sushi and sashimi in the San Francisco Bay Area.  It’s damn good.  As a matter of fact, I find the sushi in that area to be just as good as what I had in Japan.  The authenticity is right on and the quality of the seafood is nothing like I’ve had at any place else in the states, except in Los Angeles.  Of course, not every sushi restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area is good, but from the places I’ve dined at so far, the experience has been great.  So when I visited San Francisco for fun last week, I naturally heard the call of the ocean and stuffed my face with raw fish.  San Francisco, you’re doing raw fish right.  I’ll be back.

Add Some Sweet Milky Goodness to Oatmeal with Condensed Milk

December 20, 2011 in Chewings

About a month ago, I ran out of brown sugar and went to the refrigerator looking for something to sweeten up my bowl of oatmeal with. I noticed an open can of condensed milk begging to be used. How could I say no?

I went ahead and mixed a heaping tablespoon of condensed milk into my bowl of oatmeal. Holy crap,it’s as if the oatmeal and condensed milk were making sweet love in the bowl and both had orgasmed in my mouth. It was awesome, I don’t think I can go back to using brown sugar as a topping anymore. Breakfast just got exciting again!
