When it's time to enjoy, it's time to ENJOY. =D

No regrets! (until you walk onto the scale...just kidding)

I like it when I first start drinking it. And then...the dreaded, dry aftertaste that you write about comes along. I find the after-feeling too unpleasant and so thumbs down for me.

Awesome. Looking forward to reading more Nasty Bits articles, Chichi!

This article has me craving some spicy stir-fried kidneys right about now...yum.

Looks fun to make! The described texture and look reminds me of the icebox checker box cookies.

I'll definitely try this recipe out!

You have GOT to try Bi-Rite Creamery's ice cream. They have some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Salted caramel anyone?

Also, Acme bread is awesome, and Cheeseboard pizza from Berkeley!

Australian-style strawberry licorice from Trader Joe's and other assorted gummy candies.
I love popcorn but there's no way I can bring myself to spend close to $10 on a bucket at the movies when I can make even better (and much less costly) popcorn at home!

I left high school not too long ago and remember that it was going through changes in its food menu. Prior to the changes, there were soda machines everywhere, along with Pizza Hut personal pizzas, McDonald's cheeseburgers, and Taco Bell burritos sold in our cafeteria. Not surprisingly, a vast majority of my high school bought these items for lunch.

However, the school board decided to revamp the food items offered - for the better. All of our soda machines were replaced by Gatorade/Propel, water, and juice machines. Although some of the fast food items remained available, many more healthy sandwiches and salads appeared on the menu. Having the healthier choices at school made it much easier for students to opt out of the fast food option.

One thing though - my high school was a closed campus. But I think the best solution is to FIRST improve the food selection offered within the school, and then deal with banning fast food restaurants later. Ultimately, kids learn eating habits from their parents and their environment.

Banning fast food restaurants won't stop kids from eating too much fast food, but good parenting will.

I looove persimmons. I've never seen the hoshigaki kind, however! Can they be found in US asian markets (99 Ranch, etc.)?

wow. I hate to admit it but that got me too! Nice joke! Reading this review almost made me want to buy a Big Mac. Almost.

I just may have to try this place out! Close-up shot of the burger looks great, although I'm sad to hear that the fries are plain =(. I'm a big fan of fries.

Looks great! Makes me want to make a drive up to LA now. yum yum

Processed cheese. Ugh.

Also, I used to LOVE LOVE LOOVE Dinty Moore's Beef Stew. I requested to eat it every Sunday morning. yum sodium!

Can't eat that stuff anymore.
