This Or That: Honey vs Sugar

Honey vs Sugar

I think there has always been a honey vs sugar debate, and in my twenty something years of living, as far as I can remember, I have never used honey instead of sugar. I have heard from several people that honey is a healthier alternative, but I’m one of those people who don’t want my foods to mix, so I’ve never used honey instead of sugar because I have always felt that it will alter the taste of whatever I {Read More}

iCook: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Time to eat. Yum. Yum. Yum.

Yesterday, my mind wandered off to cookies. Specifically, snicker doodles from The Great Cookie. Those cookies are ah-may-zeen. So as I drove home, my mind was made up to go get some snicker doodle cookies, but only for $2 because I knew I would eat everything, no matter how much I bought. But then, I thought of oatmeal cookies. And I remembered that I was just studying the recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies. Plus, I already had most of the {Read More}

Igwe & I Are Having Twins

Proof of my future twins

Multiple twins. At the same time. Y’ll know how much I want twins, right? I have mentioned it over (2010) and over (2012) and over (2012) and over (2009) and over (2008) that I want a set of confusingly identical twin boys. And I am currently working towards it – whatever that might mean. The other day, I was making some moi moi, and as usual, I boiled some eggs which I was going to cut in half and put a half {Read More}

A Toaster That Creates Penises & Vaginas? But Of Course

The Penis-Vagina Toaster

What kind of world would we be living in if we did not have toasters that print penises and vaginas on our bread? Sacrilege! The people at Breakfast In Bed have created a toaster that does magic. You put your bread into the toaster and it comes out with a toasted-on penis or vagina. I’m assuming that one slice of bread comes out with the penis, and the other comes out with the vagina. There are even toasters for gay {Read More}

My Weekend Recount: Ripped Pants & A Happy Hour

Happy Hour Tinz

This past weekend, Igwe and I went for a happy hour thingy somewhere. I don’t remember the name of the place, but it was somewhere Downtown Baltimore. It was my first time ever going for a happy hour. Yeah, silly, I know. But it was nice. I had two drinks and two plates of chicken wings – though the second one was take-home.   1. The Diggs – Blueberry Lemonade 2.  Hot wings 3.  Watermelon Mohito (complete with efo riro {Read More}

iCook: Garlic Lime Chicken Fajita

Garlic lime chicken fajita ... all done, ready to be served

Garlic lime chicken fajita … all done, ready to be served   I love fajitas, and since I already know how to make regular beef and/or chicken fajitas, I thought it’d be nice to try this new recipe. It’s very easy to make, and it doesn’t take long at all. You should try it. Ingredients: 1.  About 1 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts (I used tenderloins which I cut into little pieces). 2.  1 medium red bell pepper (I {Read More}

How To Lose Weight Seven Times A Day

Pauline Potter

I’m not going to waste any of your time. I’m just going to throw it out there. This woman, Pauline Potter used to weigh 643 pounds, and this weight took her to stardom – kind of – as she won the Guinness World Book of Records as the heaviest woman in the world. But Pauline has lost weight. She has lost 98 lbs, and she did it by having sex. Lots of it.

My Weekend Recount: More Soul Food!

My-Food-Before-Eating

This Friday, my sole mission was to finally watch John Cater. I rented it from RedBox and settled in to watch it. Boooorrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg. I kept waiting for it to get interesting. But before I started watching it, Igwe and I went out to eat dinner. He kept saying he wanted a big meal.  Is it something I can cook? No, it’ll take too long. Do you want Chinese? No. Italian? No. Jamaican? No. Soul food? No. Seafood? No. We ended {Read More}

iCook: Tila The Tilapia

Raw-Tila

This is the story of Tila the Tilapia. Before he and I met, he was just another tilapia sitting on the frozen seafood section of Shoppers, but after I met him, I bought him, took him home, and kept him frozen in the deep freezer until the day I decided to cook him.

My Weekend Recount: A Baby Shower & Other Stories

Me-and-Busola

Last week, I decided to start telling you about what I did over the weekend. This is because I have convinced myself that you are remotely interested in what I did over the weekend. Please indulge me. Friday: It was a movie date with Igwe. BV (Before Vera), Igwe did not go to movies a lot. But before, I definitely went to see a lot of movies. I’ve always loved the movie theatre. It remains one of my favorite fun-things-to-do. {Read More}
