Is there any reason to make homemade pasta when you live in Italian land aka Philly suburbs and 99% of your friends are Italian and when you go over, they feed you Italian and when you go out, you eat, what else, Italian, since the best restaurants in town offer Italian food and frankly, who can get tired of Italian food? No, there isn’t. Wait, what was the question again?

It’s fish. It’s vegan. Say whaaa?

You have to go to simplyvegetarian777 to check it out. Especially you, Patty! Something is waiting for you.

This is my first try at guest posting or guest blogging. I’m not even sure what the correct terminology is. And I definitely don’t know the proper etiquette on how to do this correctly.

It’s supposed to be a win-win situation for both bloggers. Cool-cool! Win-win is always the best way to go. My guess is that it’s a win for me because I get to be introduced to the host blog’s followers. But how is it a win for the host blog?

I’m thinking if I let my followers know about it and kindly ask them to check it out, then it’ll be a win for her/him, too. So, kindly check it out. Go to Sonal’s site. Besides, the recipe is there.

Incidentally, I was asked to guest blog a couple of times before. Having never done it and not fully understanding what it entailed, I had not followed through with the requests. To those bloggers who asked, I apologize. If you’re still interested, please let me know.

“Island Dreaming”

BY THE NOVICE GARDENER

It’s another snowy day
Keeping the sun at bay
Seems that dreary gray
Is long here to stay
Chasing my blues away
Island dreaming all day

food art island scene

Zero to Hero lucky day 21 for me. The challenge has us drafting a post, expanding on the new-to-you format post published for #19, where I talked about Bruno Mars in an aside.

Well, Bruno is from Hawaii, and Hawaii is an island. And I’ve been island dreaming all day long. I’d say I’d fulfilled the assignment, don’t you think?

The lucky part comes from the Weekly Writing Challenge that asks that we write a short post a la Frank O’Hara’s Lunch Poems. So, I’m killing two birds with one stone. One post for 2 challenges. Sometimes, you just get lucky.

Fiesta Friday #469

Fiesta Friday #469

January is almost over… let’s collectively breathe a sigh of relief. It’s a tough month to go through, what with the foul weather, short daylight, bleak landscapes, etc. My cooking creativity is waning under these conditions. I’m losing my cooking mojo, gasp! No, no, no… I’m just being dramatic. I hope that’ll never happen. But […]

Lunar New Year 2023 will begin this coming Sunday and I will mark the occasion by making bao buns. I served this non-traditional Build-Your-Own Bao Bun Tray last year and my family and I had so much fun. Everybody raved about it! So I thought… why not repeat it since it was such a success? […]

Fiesta Friday #467

Fiesta Friday #467

During the holiday break, I binge-watched all kinds of shows and movies. Many were enjoyable (Riches, Wednesday, Cook At All Costs, Emily in Paris, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Top Gun Maverick, etc). A few were not and therefore, never finished and quickly forgotten. Then there were some that were so-so. They started out full […]

Fiesta Friday #466

Let’s talk about the perennial New Year’s resolutions – eating healthier, exercising more, yadda yadda… Everybody makes them, right, myself included. And I have every intention of keeping them, of course. In reality, though, it’s not as easy as it seems. There are so many factors out there, like being lazy and disorganized for one, […]

Fiesta Friday #465

2023 will be here in just a couple of days! Shocking, isn’t it?! I’m looking forward to my annual “lucky foods” feast – in quotation marks because obviously, it’s just a superstition, which admittedly I mindlessly accept. In reality, though, I truly enjoy a meal of collard greens and black-eyed peas so I’m more than […]
