The ole immortal corn, that “bookmark in your poop,” is a real phenomenon. But how? Can we really not digest corn? Is corn really just a filler in a meal that has no nutritional value? All that and more in this Quickie. Spotted this post on FB so I thought I’d do a quick search….
Watching this video on Youtube in which the host presents multiple ways to peel garlic. There are some methods I’ve tried and hated (shaking in a jar or bottle or two bowls sucks, bruises the garlic, and leaves a huge mess of skin pieces you have to remove, for instance) and a few I’ve not…
Picture this: Humans move into a new place, a once-plentiful food resource is depleted and finally goes extinct. Seems a pretty standard pattern by now, one we’ve seen repeated over and over and over, all over the planet. Here’s a pattern break: People have lived continuously on this land for 50,000 years at least. They…
A try at making something we liked and hope you might, too. I decided to make them open-face, as a) it let me add a fairly generous amount of fillings and b) the wider surface also let me put more cheese over the top and c) more area for grilled brown cheese! Yumm! The open-face…
Not to put too fine a point – if Big Food has their way we’ll all be eating out every day all day. They don’t care who they sell to, as long as the produce keeps moving and the profits keep flowing in. In fact, if fewer people shopped for their ingredients and instead, more…

Mind you, this is almost the Mediterranean Diet, but not…
Every so often I get to have a little giggle. When someone with airs and foibles attempts to out-sneer everyone else. Aw hell – I don’t just have a “little giggle” I have a full-on coffee spit. Like this “Tiktok star” of etiquette with his croissant crappery. A croissant isn’t “made of butter” – it’s…
Alas poor airfryer, we knew thee for but a short time. Not that I care for a clickbait headline nor an article that’s trying to make “frequent fryer” miles, but okay – I want to brag. The “new kid on the block” is a tabletop convection oven. They’ve been available for several decades now. Honest….
This article is a good dive into the sense of smell and eating, but it isn’t telling us anything new, is it? We cook food to smell good because we already know about this link. Diners will eat something that is aromatic in a good way before they’ll eat something that smells like a rotted…
