Doritos: The Quest – New Mystery Flavor

I walked into 7-11 yesterday and did my normal stroll around the candy and chip aisle when I discovered something so terrifying that I knew that I had to buy them.
Doritos is at it again. Another mystery bag. Another mystery flavor. The catch? This time, the flavor is just the beginning. [...]

Offtopic: Mike K.O.’s MS

I went to my neurologist yesterday to have my first MRI in 3 years.  I treat the MS as sort of an “out of sight, out of mind” disorder, so since it wasn’t bothering me, why pay for tests I don’t need.
Turns out, I was right.  They actually thought the MRI machine was malfunctioning, because [...]

Episode 6: Postponed

While I received nothing but good news from my doctor today regarding the progression, or more importantly lack thereof, of my Multiple Sclerosis, my battery of tests took longer than I thought.  So instead of getting the podcast edited and uploaded today, I was in an MRI tube.
Hopefully the podcast will be up Thursday.

Vegetarian Haggis. Wait…what?!

My mother and sister returned recently from their trip abroad to the U.K. Nestled in their pack of usual souvenirs (T-Shirts, Snow Globes, Statues) was possibly the most coolest/nastiest/vomit-inducing gift I’ve ever received.
I speak about Stahly Quality Foods Vegetarian Haggis.

What’s in Stahly Quality Foods Vegetarian Haggis you ask?
Britishsupermarket.com says it’s “made with the finest [...]

Fat Bottomed Pears

I’ve never had a piece of fruit basically tell me to “Bite my ass.”  Today, the pear I picked up for a snack broke that dry spell.

I thought this would be a perfect companion piece to my recipe about Chocolate Covered Red Velvet Cake Balls.
Heh.  It’s a butt.

El Pasteles Individuales Margarita Locos (Margarita Cupcakes)

Baking Bites posted this cupcake recipe WAY back in the inter-day, but I never had a reason to make margarita flavored cupcakes. But it’s Cinco De Mayo! While Mexicans “commemorates an initial victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, [...]
