Food 101: The Grandma Slice of Pizza Italia
I am unveiling for the first time, a real life, topical post of this blog: Food 101.  This section is VITAL to my food exploration, as it’s my vessel to furthering greater culinary knowledge and expertise. It also makes this blog look more than just a photo dump. Today’s lunch came in the form of (arguably) everyone’s favorite food: pizza.  Matt and I headed down to Stone...

7 Food Hacks to Stay Alert Without Caffeine →
Today I’m FIGHTING fatigue and droopy-eye syndrome really bad, even after my morning coffee.  These tips look practical, easy, and sound healthy to follow.  Though, I pretty much screwed the pooch by eating a big bacon, egg, and cheese sangwich from Champs (I bring these things on myself).  I can still make up for it this afternoon by swapping vending machine snacks with some granola or...

Eggs-actly
Hate it when there’s one leg left in your dozen, clearly not enough to scramble up a decent meal? Try frying over-easy, and tossing it on top of rice.

Date Night - Dominos and a 12-Pack
And what a classy one it was.  Keep in mind, this is a recession-centric meal, and many of the places in Hoboken close early (Sam had a late night at work).  Walking home from the PATH, the Dominos on Newark St. advertised “Large One-Topping Pie - $6”.

a first for everything
much of the success of this blog hinder on many factors: trial and error - yesterday, pete and i took advantage of a buy-one-get-one burrito offer from qdoba.  i attempted to film the excursion for the first video for the blog: no one told me what an awful on-camera presence i have. i’m working on that, and as a sign of good faith, i’ll post one of the videos just as a sample. ...
