Thai was always my favorite cuisine. I was surprised that Thai food here in Indy was not that much different from mt experience in Thailand (I've heard from the tourists who traveled to China that authentic Chinese food has nothing to do with Chinese food in US - it was not a case with Thai food).
I've lost 10 bl while in Thailand eating a loooooooot! I already gain 5 back on my American diet (and I am much more conscious of what crosses my lips then 90% of American... still). We've met a Germa…

I love trying different things for my cooking. I use Sprite, Coke, beer, wine and even coffee (not all at the same time) to make sauces or marinate. I tend to get the wide eyed look and "What?" when I tell people that. I guess the idea of using these ingredients (mainly the sodas and…

One of the great advantages of study the Tao philosophy is that the same basic principles apply to everything from the macrocosmic to the microcosmic.
When it comes to the diet the Tao principle of balancing Yang and Yin is established by harmonizing the Four Energy* and Five Flavor" in foods.
* - The Four Energy are: Hot, Warm, Cool & Cold. These categories define the nature and the intensity of energy released in the human system when food is digested. Hot and Warm foods belong to Yang; C…

A sashimi lover and one who grew up eating seafood at least 4 days of the week, I have a craving or two for the raw fresh stuff ever so often. Luckily, there is a good Japanese restaurant close enough to satiate that craving. Salmon sashimi is always available and the color is usually the first thing I look at to determine if it’s “good”. Well, I was enjoying my first piece today, when I realized that I have a packet of smoked salmon waiting in the fridge! Oop!
My wandering mind then goes on to…

Recent recalls and contamination of peanut butter, pistachios, spinach, and tomatoes and concerns about outbreaks of bird flu and mad cow disease seem to be driving three pieces of legislation that have been proposed and r…

How do you jump the hurdle of self-doubt? If you do not believe a goal is achievable it will appear to be a wall rather than a hurdle. For
my friend staying away from fast food seemed to be an impossibility. Fast food is readily available, easy, and relatively inexpensive. To avoid it might req…

I get really excited about getting anything free. I am the girl that gets giddy when I get all my punches on my lunch cards. Then I can't wait to go back and get my free lunch. I guess it makes me feel like I have earned something. It is a very smart marketing tool. I wish every restaurant did this. I wanted to share my latest find with all my Smoosier Friends.
Just purchase a drink and you can get a FREE Roast Beef Burger from Arbys.
