Just as some people were always meant to be together, so too were certain inanimate objects. Today I would like to write specifically about [read more]

By PHOODIE By the end of the season of any reality TV cooking show, I always find myself getting annoyed at the overuse of certain phrases. “Plating up.”Pointy end of this culinary journey.” “Balance of flavours.” Just to give you a few examples. “Favourite key ingredient” is another one.

by PHOODIE As you well know, food is a massive part of my life. I am a loud, proud member of Team ‘Live to Eat’ and no matter what conversation I’m having with friends and family on any given day, I’ll always bring it back to chocolate, cheese or chopsticks. As far [read more]

By PHOODIE I love chocolate. Everyone loves Chocolate. Okay, not EVERYONE, in fact my BFF, Jacquelin, hates the stuff. I remember once when we were in high school we went to get ice cream and upon entering the store, Jacquelin’s face started to look a little funny. All of a sudden [read more]

By PHOODIE There’s a saying that I have always really liked, “When an old person dies, a library is lost.” I’ve been pondering this a lot recently and I think the quote should be modified to “When ANYONE dies a library is lost.” People, young and old, are amazing tanks [read more]

By PHOODIE I’ve got a black clutch that I’ve owned since 1921. Ok, not really, but I’ve had it for over 10 years. I bought it for one cent (again, not really, but you know what I mean!) from a small store in the Greek Islands. I use it pretty much every time [read more]

The little piece of heaven in my day

Phoodie — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:03:23 +0000

By PHOODIE Despite the fact that I’ve always been an “excellent student” (report card’s words, not mine!), I’ve never actually enjoyed studying. I’ve devoted a pretty hefty chunk of my life to it, but it’s never been something I have loved. In high school, especially in my final two years, hours and hours [read more]

Why don’t they give this lesson in schools?

By PHOODIE People who claim that they cannot cook often say “I can’t even boil an egg!” as though that’s the first and most basic thing that anyone who CAN cook can do. It’s quite bizarre. Boiling an egg to the degree that you would like, is a skill that is [read more]
