Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

Eating more veggies and fruits, less meat. I also want to try some veggies and fruits that I've never tried before!

Cook the Book: 'On the Line'

My favorite way to eat seafood is raw. Just love fresh oyster and sashimi. But I also like simply boiling or steaming (shrimp, lobster, crab, etc). Just dipping it in a vinegar/sesame oil/cilantro/garlic/green onion (Asian way) dipping sauce. Yum!

Restaurants Adding Sneaky Service Charges

One coworker used to work in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco area. She said they scribbled customer's order on the bill, never write the individual price next to each dish, then when they added up the bill, they always add some more $$$ for the total. Usually they would add $3~$5. But if the dining group has been drinking, then it was the opportunity for them to add big $$$, sometimes even up to $50. If for some reason the customer found out, they would just apologize and pretended it was a simple miscalculation. But they cheat, everyday, with EVERY customer.

Coworker told me from her own working experience to warn me. Always check your bill in restaurants!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

My friend Toan made the most delicious pork ribs. He braised the ribs in beer for hours than BBQ it. It makes my mouth waters when I think about it.

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: A Piece of Cake

Lately, it's been red velvet cake. BUT, it has to be made with oil. Bakers have been resorting to butter, but that's not the southern way. Reall southern red velvet is, well, like velvet. Off to eat another piece!
