A Truly Mouthblowing Culinary Experience in the Dretches of Europe
When I started my career in dining critique, or as they laymen call it, “reviewing food”, I never imagined all the twists and turns the job would take me on. Whether it was being yelled at by the staff at my local gastropub over my first negative review, the long-lines at foreign airports on my way to the next artisanal farmhouse, bed-and-and-breakfast, or beachside eatery, even all my chance encounters with celebrities, I could not be more thankful for the opportunity to dictate the world’s palette one sentence at a time.

Lunch
Over the weekend, I went back home for my great aunt’s 75th birthday. She doesn't eat at many restaurants because she’s sure every restaurant is not up to her standards of clean so we decided to throw her a big party at her house and everybody pitched in to cook and bring different desserts. In my family, at family event there is always food. Food is a big part of my family because our family is so big and everyone always comes together when food is involved. My aunt’s famous greens, my mom’s famous dressing and cornbread, My cousin’s famous candied yams and we can’t forget my granny’s incredible peach cobbler. I brought one of my good friends home that weekend so she also came to my aunt’s birthday dinner. My friend is from Sudan so a lot of the foods that me and my family enjoy all the time she had never even seen or heard of. She comes from a wealthy background so back home, she goes out to eat at restaurants way more often than I do. Especially when it comes to celebration, her family will go to a fancy restaurant opposed to my family, in times of celebration we do potluck style dinner. It really made me take a closer look at how social class and race play such a huge roll in my identity. I believe food is a huge part of anyone’s identity. Food brings family together in times of happiness as well as times of hardships and pain. There are some foods that my family has never eaten because of our culture, traditions and social class. I didn’t even know what caviare was until I got to college. That’s a type of food I would associate with an upper class family, but to others that food may seem like something that’s normal and that’s eaten by everyone. ]

The Essence of Stephanie's Treat
Stephanie was a dear old girl. She was the kind of dear old girl you would want over at your house often. She would gladly come and visit you if it was not for the fact she loved being in her own house so much, for her house was her castle, her idea of heaven – therefore, she rarely left it.

Hungry for Change
It hasn't snowed much yet this year here in Michigan, where many children have a complex ritual of wearing their pajamas inside out, putting ice cubes in the toilet before bed, and something else that involves white crayons on the windowsill… just to increase the chance of a snow day and no school.

Power of JLL Power Pro Juicer
Years ago, I believe around 2006, I bought a Jack LaLanne (JLL) Power Pro Juicer. It served me very well for a looooong time, until about a couple of years ago when in the move the only crucial plastic part in it (the juicer is mostly stainless steel, lasts forever) snapped and broke into two. The part secures the mesh filter, which means the juicer cannot work without it. It is also located on the base motor and impossible to replace, so my juicer is just standing there on the kitchen counter crippled, reminding me of its former glory.

Protect Your Heart With Swiss Chard
I've always wanted to know more about Swiss chard. Every time I'm grocery shopping, I recognize the vivid bright green leaves and colorful stems. I wondered if the stems were edible. I wondered if the cooking process for Swiss chard to be an identical process, like cooking spinach or collard greens.
