Are you guilty of tomato abuse?

Back in December, my husband and I visited a whole bunch of friends and relatives across the US. We enjoyed their hospitality, marveled at their American-sized appliances, and generally had a wonderful time. But during this marathon trip of peeking into the lives of our loved ones, I was surprised at how many of them… […]

I love my Asian grocery stores

There are at least three Asian grocery stores within a short walk of my new apartment. I love the opportunity to try so many different foods so close to home, even when living in Europe. Growing up in small town USA in an Italian-American family, I never encountered many Asian foods beyond what was available […]

Reader question: how do you deal with rude meat-eaters?

Reader Presh recently asked:

I would be curious how your vegetarian readers deal with friends who are carnivores and feel the need to explain why meat is good.
I’m not even a vegetarian, but I experience negative energy when I order vegetarian meals at restaurants with friends. It’s funny to hear the childish responses–from otherwise very smart […]

Cafe Ignaz: more vegetarian fun in Munich

Who knew Munich was such a vegetarian-friendly city? For Valentine’s Day (thus the rose petals on the table) my husband surprised me with reservations at Cafe Ignaz, a vegetarian restaurant we hadn’t tried yet.
The menu was extensive, with both vegetarian and vegan items well-represented. Specialties included pastas, pizzas, gratins, gnocchi, crepes, and stir-fry. I ordered […]

Do you use a rice cooker?

So my electric stovetop and I are slowly learning to get along (thanks in part to some reader tips!), but the one area in which my skills still need much improvement is the field of rice cooking. I am having a hard time finding the right settings that will help me avoid making a big […]

Have blog, will beg for comments

Crap, so I pretty much forgot that we were having a friendly little who-can-get-the-most-comments type contest here at the b5 Science and Health channel during the month of February. While I don’t expect to win (especially since my strategery has been so lacking up till now), it would be nice to make a decent showing.
So […]
