Why Cake Batter Cookies Are Happening Even Though...
My DSLR is broken. You can’t have real food porn without a dslr! Obviously, I’m not the next Pete Wells so moving forward… I have been completely devoid of any treats this year. Halloween? I didn’t have a single piece of candy until after Halloween. Thanksgiving? Only had one piece of pie on Thanksgiving. None before or after. I still haven’t had a Christmas cookie or treat—it’s even...

Nancy and Zoolander: A Shared Quarterlife Crisis
Do you ever wonder if there is more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking?
Zoolander and I ponder on this as we both go through growing pains of reaching an age where our looks start to fade. I finally truly understand the deep meaning behind the movie Zoolander. It’s not just about the dark side of male modeling but it’s so much more to me. My birthday is just a few hours...

Muffintoppin on a snowy Seattle day...
SNOWMAGEDDON IN SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!
We do rain. Not snow. We buy environmentally approved small cars (Guilty), organic foods, and like to know what farm and the name of the cow that we are just about to devour. I’m not going to let my asian driver self ponder out into the skating rink we call roads. So long To-Do List… Hello, Raspberry Orange muffins!!
I saw a package of raspberries...
The End of the World ?!
Life is whizzing by. 2011 flickered by… without much accomplishment! I spent last year going to school while working full time, applying for millions numerous jobs, and interviewing. My only resolution was to find a career path. This didn’t happen… BUT I HAD A LOT OF FUN THIS YEAR!!!! WOOT!! Here you were, thinking I was going SERIOUS! Psh, yeah right. Life is too serious to be...

A (corny) list of Thanks..
I am not exactly a holiday person… as in the thought of the holidays make me puke a little in my mouth. I understand everybody enjoys these “joyous” and “wondrous” times so I attempt to keep my animosity to a minimum. Thanksgiving is a better holiday for me then Christmas. It’s all about gluttony and I don’t know anybody who does gluttony better then me...

My waning writing skills...
I was enjoying some of my past blog posts and comedic sketches (from my “funny” days). I realize that my writing skills have gone out the window and into a rainy gutter with the Rat King’s of Seattle! Slaving away with numbers and data entry at my current job has sucked the creative soul out of me. Sitting in front of the computer all day has turned me into a mindless zombie...
Fat Cravings with Nancy...
Needing a lift-me-up snack from my perfect day gone wrong (people disappoint… eat the pain away?). i popped a bag of fat free popcorn and added 2 tablespoons of good quality parmesan and sprinkles of fresh cracked pepper. Mmm instant gratification.
Fat Cravings With Nancy- Chicken Pot Pie →
This blustery, rainy day makes me want to read on a bear fur rug in front of the fireplace with a casserole simmering in the oven. Chicken Pot Pie was never a childhood memory due to my parent’s asian heritage and their disdain for anything containing butter (quite a sad childhood I had). I discovered Marie Callendar’s frozen pie’s during my freshman in college and...
You know how guy’s lose like 20 pounds in 2 months because they give up soda (so lucky)… I realize if I just gave up ranch, the pounds would be melting off me.
B L o G g E r... that's me.
I’ve decided I’m going to start blogging again!!!! It’s winter and I have nothing else to do but eating whilst crying until the summer comes again. Winter means no more of me running outside, going longboarding, camping… all the outdoors stuff that I LOVE. This means more time on the toilet… because all my best thoughts comes while sitting on a donut-shaped porcelain...

Everything-in-my fridge pizza...
I am obsessed with unconventional pizza. I think it start’s from living a 3 minute walk away from Tom Douglas’s Serious Pie where the ingredients are not traditional to usual American pizza.
Carmelized onions are one of my favorite pizza toppings! Seriously! I carmelize one onion with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and let them sizzle away until they are sweet, limp tendrils of...
The essence of Tom Douglas...
I recently found a dusty, autographed copy of Tom Douglas’s book “Seattle Kitchens” signed to my parents! I was flabbergasted! THEY MET TOM DOUGLAS AND FORGOT TO MENTION IT TO ME! Judging from the dust-balls on this thing, I’m assuming this was when I was younger and unknowing of The Great Tom.
I was walking through the tiny downtown of Edmonds, WA with my partner in...
Fat Cravings with Nancy: Rain in the seattle summers are quite foreboding. Blue skies one day, dreary rain the next? Odd. Since it’s raining and I want comfort, PHO would be perfect! My favorite pho is the one with bokchoy, carrots, broccoli with shrimp… but the classic beef and cartilage pho would satisfy (YES I love cartilage).

Fat Cravings with Nancy: warm Otis Spunkemeyer Chocolate Chip cookies with insides still undercooked. I go cookie monster on that!
Dungenness crab eggs benedict.
Ham in a can?
Spam I am! Spam used to be a staple in my childhood diet back when money was an issue at my house and protein was hard to come by. It’s totally a comfort food and I loved it panfried with white rice and some kimchi (homemade, OF COURSE!).
My brothers fiance had a bridal shower that I helped cater. With the hawaiian theme, Spam Musubi was most appropriate!
We found this spam sushi maker...
The many sides of bacon
I was perusing the snack aisles of QFC, looking for some tasty treats. I stumbled upon this unconventional snack.
BACON POPCORN!!!!
Review: Not exactly my favorite. I have had bacon salt on omelettes and I thought it would just be popcorn sprinkled with that bacon salt. When I popped it in the microwave, the grease was spilling out of the bag which left behind a bacon scented residue on the...
Woody Allen and inspirational sports movie night! The only other genre of movies I need are french comedies starring Audrey Tautou (you would be surprised at how many she stars in). I need a POPular movie snack… POPCORN!
This is at Kukuruza in Downtown Seattle by Pike Place Market. I lOVE this place. They have quiet a variety of gourmet popcorn flavors such as cheddar and caramel mix,...
I deem this weekend, Deep Fried Weekend!
I have a preference for all things fried. So I just googled “deep fried”. Here are some pictures of my online escapades.
Deep fried OREOS! I heard you can get these at the Puyallup Fair.
Deep Fried Bacon with a side of gravy.Your right. Bacon is a vegetable. It’s one of those reverse psychologies where your body thinks its healthy because its so bad.
Deep Fried...
Inebriation led me to wake up to Cheeto fingers. Fluorescent Orange tint flavor is so delicious.
All day long, all night long, all i think about is money! Insanity. It’s on like gluttony in Seven. I shall eat until I die. I’m really hoping there is a dry aged bone-in ribeye steak, cooked medium rare and mashed potatoes to soak up the blood juices (blood juices are delicious!).
