All Aspects of Life are Rooted in Style
Whose familiar with Boba Tea. Nowadays it seems like there's different kinds all over the place. Premade shelf staples, refrigerated, niche cafe's, and more. Honestly I love accessibility. In fact, my boba journey started with Pho. An old friend of mine brought me to a Vietnam Pho restaurant. They had a few sides, but the... Continue Reading →
Did you know that restaurant's refer to Naan as flatbread? I mean they aren't wrong. Naan is a type of flat bread, but Pita falls into this category too. Naan is typically eaten in an around Asia, which is a continent not a country. The Middle East is a part of Asia. So, why am... Continue Reading →
Did you know that National Eat Outside day is August 31? The holiday encourages communing with nature. It's also a good excuse to pick up a picnic basket. Yes, they still exist!

During my quite time, I like to watch Linna's vlog. I noticed that some of the grocery stores she visits sell individually packaged fruit. This practice isn't consistent throughout the different stores she frequents. I started to wonder, who is doing this and why? Turns out, you should be very specific about what your searching...

Yet, I couldn't find Sunshine. Finally, I was able to get a bottle from Sam's Club. So far, I've used it to season chicken, pork... Continue Reading →
On my quest to cook food outside of my comfort zone, I realized that I'm a bit under prepared. I borrowed a cookbook from the library thinking, all I need is the ingredients and directions.

Last weekend, I decided to stock up on fresh produce. Walmart had some medium Seedless Watermelon on sale. At the time, I had the fridge space to cut up my own Watermelon and store the leftovers. Over the years, I've noticed grocers make an effort to remove seeds from Pre-chopped Watermelon. So, I didn't notice... Continue Reading →
Growing up, I remember grabbing the Sunday paper for comics and discounts. After a good laugh, I'd flip through local grocery circulars. I was curious about the sales. Plus, the seasonal marketing made it easier to negotiate for crowd pleasures (snacks my siblings and I liked). Then, I'd search for relevant coupons. It was rare... Continue Reading →
A few days ago, I was watching reels and got smacked in the face by nostalgia. To my surprise, Iconic Candy brought back Creme Savers, a fruit and creme flavored hard candy. Patrick taught me two things. One, Creme Savers are a spinoff of Life Savers. Two, Creme Savers were discontinued. I didn't know they... Continue Reading →
