Looking for Aunt Bee

Mayberry does not exist.  Duh.  But neither do the small towns of yesteryear, at least not within driving distance at lunchtime. Those small town cafes, the type Andy and Barney ate it, that served country fare like Aunt Bee prepared and delivered in that cute-as-a-dickens checkered lunch basket, those are gone,

Disney World made easier

You are planning a vacation to Disney World and are probably staying at Shades of Green to enjoy the discounts available to military personnel. But the only time you can go is spring break or summer vacation.  Just thinking about the lines at those times are enough to make most people

Does anyone date in the grocery store aisles anymore? Did anyone beyond the trashy TV shows EVER do this? I met my wife in high school so I admit I haven’t tried dating in the frozen food aisle. I am not exactly sure how one would do this with any relative

It’s all the rage to have a food allergy. Maybe not, but if it were a fad, allergies are big right now. Restaurant servers, flight attendants, even your mom know all about the ingredients in their foods, and they don’t blink an eye anymore when the subject comes up from the

I stopped in Hallmark the other day, but after a fruitless search, I couldn’t find a card to send my favorite chef for National Noodle Month. I believe the noodle deserves a month of celebration. Where would I be without the noodle (no pun intended, sicko). Most foodies know that noodles

Mex-Asian fusion

I recently returned from Acapulco jazzed by the Mexican chefs’ creations. Forget the stunning views and warm tropical nights of this southern Mexican city of two million people — these creative folk are fusing Mexican and Asian flavors that cry Viva Flavor! Shrimp medallions with ginger and mango sauce and chipolte

Turning Koreanesa

I’ve dabbled for years in the Korean community, tasting this and that, writing down my favorite places. Recently, however, I ran into a friend looking for a road map of sorts to the Korean restaurants along South Tacoma Way. An adventurer at heart, he recently returned to the South Sound

Free cakes

When I was a kid the moms in my neighborhood had the same birthday game plan: eight friends, pin the tail on the donkey, a nut cup, and a lopsided Duncan Hines cake. And no one worried about spills because the décor of the 1970s matched the Kool-Aid colors. We

Salty AND sweet

I understand that my taste buds must comply with certain fairness laws or else the American Civil Liberties Union will intervene, but I’d prefer to rent more space on my tongue to salty and sweet, leaving sour and bitter to double up in the sub-basement. Sure, I enjoy bitter coffee, and
