Do NOT try to eat fake food again after a year of old fashioned cooking.

Though I’m thankful that the truth has finally made its way to the mainstream media, in my opinion it’s a bit too little too late. The effects of many of these harmful chemical cocktails saturating our environment, and drugs being sold irresponsibly, has been known for years by both scientists and laymen who read. Back [...]

When you decide to dread your hair, a strange thing happens.  People start offering you marijuana, and everyone thinks you have some or know where to get some.  The problem is that this leads to getting stopped by the police more often, and sometimes dragged into drama just because you know people. What most people [...]

For quite some time, I’ve been trying to unravel a mystery.  A few months ago, Shai told me that his mom used to cook something called “kurkevanei ouf”, which means navels of chickens. Chickens don’t really have navels…at least nothing like mammal navels, but I took his word for it, and went out to buy [...]

This one is for the ladies.  Guys, just cover your eyes unless you’re really comfortable with nature, and may want to pass this info along to your American girlfriend. As some of you may have noticed, tampons are now about $10 a pack.  So it’s about time to start looking into some alternatives. Reusable You [...]

Yesterday, Moon and I were having the craving for Mexican food.  So I went out and splurged a little on supplies, and then made tacos and chicken fajitas. …and of course, they were gooooooood. I’ve noticed that the pre-mixed Mexican seasoning is phenomenally expensive…something like maybe 50 grams for 22 shekels.  Prices are insane here [...]

Right now, I’m in the process of making a spaghetti dinner.  That means basically spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce, so garlic toasts, and maybe a salad.  Today though, I did something special and made garlic muffins. They’re basically a savory muffin/dinner roll recipe with some finely chopped garlic, onions, carrots, and herbs. Moon helped [...]
