Because of my culinary background, they asked me to help them organize an event called Eat A Rainbow. This month long event in March is meant to help raise awareness for Colorectal Cancer Month.

Based from the language in the bill, they are making [...]

Foodspotting.com

December 29, 2009 – 2:16 am

Over the past month, my new favorite food porn site has become foodspotting.com. Unlike other food sites that just post pictures of food without telling you where they are from, foodspotting keeps a restaurant database of every photo entered.

Grilled Cornbread

December 6, 2009 – 1:58 am

Needless to say, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands since my accident back in April. If I’m not at physical therapy, a doctor’s appointment or putting in light duty time at the American Cancer Society, I’ve spent my time networking. The fruit of that networking has resulted in me joining a group [...]
