As fans of gimmick bars, we gave the Frankenstein Bar and Bier Keller a shot during our recent trip to Edinburgh, arriving at around 9 pm on a Friday. The venue is located on George IV Bridge in a former Elim Pentecostal church, so there are plenty of authentic gothic vibes. The main bar features two levels and the first floor was fairly crowded but we found a nice booth upstairs overlooking the main floor, a screen playing the original 1931 Frankenstein movie, and a great view of where the…

If you grew up in the Midwest in the ’80s or ’90s, there’s a good chance dirt pudding showed up at nearly every potluck. It was always one of my favorites: a heavenly chilled treat made with Cool Whip, cream cheese, vanilla pudding, and plenty of crushed Oreos. While I appreciated the gummy worms often added to really drive home the dirt pudding concept, I always preferred mine without – why mess with a good thing. Recently, I was dipping speculoos cookies into some leftover whipped cream (as…

Cerita sebelumnya bisa dibaca di sini: Akhirnya, Saya Memutuskan Pergi ke Dokter Gizi Sebelumnya, saya sudah beberapa kali “menjalani” program diet. Mengapa ada tanda kurung di bagian “menjalani”, adalah karena saya nggak melakukan program dietnya berdasar ilmu. Ilmu yang saya dapat adalah berbagai metode dari internet. Tentu saya nggak menyalahkan metode-metode yang ada di internet tersebut; ada orang yang cocok, ada orang yang bisa tahan lama, sayangnya saya tidak. (Itu juga yang bikin saya…

Hello everyone! Welcome to my weekly Sunday Meals of the Week Post! Every Sunday I like to do a recap of all of the main meals that I have cooked and or enjoyed over the past seven days! All of the delicious main dishes that have graced my table. It is a post that I really enjoy doing, and, from the feedback that I get from you, my readers, I know that you enjoy reading and seeing as well! I started doing these posts several years ago. As a person who lives on their own it became clear to me…

We bought the Weber Family Q+ (Model Q3200n+) a little over two months ago and it’s been one of the best purchases we made. Adding the Bunnings Mimosa chair, rectangular table and the cushion has made our backyard a nice little corner to grill and eat even during these cold winters. Having an outdoor heater I think will make it ever better. Here’s what it looks like. Backyard seating setupI’ve had zero input in the decisions, so all of these were researched and chosen by Jo. She did ask if I…

From Seventy Flavours, Vanilla by Clark MacLeod:The actual highlight of the day was a visit to Pictou, a town I’ve driven past many times and always wondered about. There isn’t much to see — an expensive leather goods shop, the usual tourist draws around old architecture, not unlike Charlottetown. What made the day was a stop at Thompson’s Dairy Bar, which boasts around seventy soft serve flavours. Despite the selection, I had vanilla.Perhaps worth taking the ferry back home for!

Sweet potato leaves are edible, and a delicious traditional food. While Americans know the sweet, starchy tubers, around the world both the tubers and tender green leaves are eaten where the plants are grown. Edible is an understatement too, considering how cheap and delicious these are. Today I'll walk you through processing them with a...

Every Saturday we round up the best writing about beer from the past week. This time, we’ve got West Wales, South Wales, Belfast and Edinburgh. First, news of an immediate change announced by the new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, which is intended to help pubs: Pubs, social clubs and live music venues in England will be given a 20% cut to business rates from April, with new Prime Minister Andy Burnham calling it a “first step” to help the industry… It is his third policy announcement since…

Hello — if you’re here, thank you. You probably know who I am, but if not, my name is Hans, and I’ve been blogging about instant ramen noodles for over 20 years. I’ve spanned over 5,000 reviews, creating images, write-ups, and videos all about the world of the humble instant noodle. For a while now, one key piece of equipment I rely on has been going worse and worse — my desktop computer. I got it quite a while back. Lately, it’s been rebooting or just shutting off when it wants to. Some USB…

Another one in the long line of Korean toowoomba variants. This one looks a little different – it seems like this is definitely more pasta than an instant noodle. Let’s delve into the depths of this bowl. Surasang Toowoomba Pasta – South Korea Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add room temp water to line, then noodle and powder base. Microwave at 1000W for 3 minutes or 700W for 3 1/2 minutes. Finally stir and enjoy! Detail of…

ignis is a small pourover coffee store off the Yanaka Ginza shopping street in the Sendagi / Yanaka area. We went here at the recommendation of one of my readers (thanks, keep them coming!) Having visited the area recently to check out some other coffee shops, we’re beginning to realise that Sendagi and Yanaka are a bit of a coffee hot spot. They have a number of different beans available for their pourover, ranging from 1000 to 4000 yen for a cup. They had 3 from Ethiopia, two from Panama and…

There are at least 2 wildly insulting usages in that title, but... so be it. ::chuckle:: [ day in progress... ]

I dream about being the type of cook who wanders through a farmers market, gets inspired by whatever is in season, and runs home to make something simple and delicious without consulting a single recipe. The reality is that I am extremely recipe-bound. I shop with a detailed list, rarely impulse-buy, and often have meals planned weeks, sometimes months, in advance between recipe development and content planning. Ask me to freestyle a farmers market dinner and I immediately forget every…

My son Miles is in full swing obsession with trying everything Buldak. This is an enormous switch for him. Miles is on the spectrum and doesn’t generally venture out of his comfort zone at all when it comes to foods. I’m impressed that he’s making such an effort here – there’s a mukbang below! Let’s give it a go. Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen Big Bowl – United States Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself.

100% Vermentino; steel fermented, aged in steel on fine lees for 3 months; fruit from controlled vineyards in the foothills of Luni, Castelnuovo Magra, and Sarzana. Price in the $25-$35 range. 12.5% Alc. This Vermentino from Liguria isn’t an especially aromatic wine. It’s more about texture and movement. It opens briefly with generous ripe pear and citrus with a short spell of lees-derived creaminess rounding out the mid-palate. But then mineral discipline takes over. Fine-grained dry extract…

Potato salad has always been one of those timeless summer dishes that brings comfort to the table, and this Potato, Egg & Green Bean Salad is a fresh, colourful twist on the classic. Built on fork‑tender new potatoes, crisp‑tender green beans, and eggs cooked just between soft and hard for a touch of natural creaminess, it’s a vibrant, flavour‑forward salad that feels both nostalgic and new. The light Dijon herb vinaigrette — made with rice wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, dill, chives,…

Ammonite Coffee is a roaster and cafe that sits a short walk away from the University of Tokyo campus in Hongo. Maybe it’s because of the location, but it had probably the most reasonable price I have ever seen in Tokyo for a decent cup of pourover coffee - only 600 yen. They had a number of single origin beans you could choose from - Kenya, Costa Rica and others - as well as a couple of their own blends as well. Regardless of the price, they were all only 600 yen for a cup. All the beans are…

Sometimes I start one of these things but then, for a variety of reasons, don’t finish it. Maybe something better came up, maybe the research was taking longer than expected, or maybe a shiny object distracted me. But I usually don’t delete the draft because hey, maybe one day I’ll go back and finish it. So there they sit in the draft folder. Over time I’ve accumulated a few of these, and by “a few” I mean 417. I’m now going back to finish one I started in 2015. Back then, I had just learned…

2026/07/22 Wednesday Today I made stuffed eggplant, and it turned out pretty good :) On this cooking entry there won't be music, I'm still deciding if I will continue the playlist or start others... and I think I'm going to make a cooking index for recipes and entries where I made them... Anyway, I had two big-ass eggplants, one also big but a bit smaller, four tomatoes, and I grated some mozzarella to start. Then I scooped the eggplant insides with a spoon and chopped the contents into small…
