My sister has been a more-than-loyal iTunes patron for as long as I can remember. Arguably, for as long as smartphones have been in existence, because rather than taking the shitty route and using Limewire to illegally download music and absolutely mutilate our parents’ computer with viruses like me, she opted for the moral choice … More If you use iTunes, read this
I’ve never really considered myself a dessert person. Don’t get me wrong – I love and enjoy sweets and goodies as much as the next person, but growing up, my family didn’t really have dessert in the sense that it was consumed immediately following dinner. Rather, in true European fashion (both of my parents have … More How about a Mocha Peanut Butter Pie for dessert tonight?
Unless you’re the absolute definition of a hermit, you have likely caught wind of the fact that the film of the year, arguably, is playing in theatres.

While I certainly don’t expect everyone to have an insect epiphany like I described in yesterday’s post, allow me to say that if you, like me, are not a tremendous fan of bugs, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to try to force your acceptance of them. We live in a world … More Check out these curious facts about spiders (part two)

When it comes to salad, Caesar reigns supreme, and I will happily die on this hill. One of the main reasons Caesar salad stands above all others is arguably because of its components; while a salad, you can’t really go wrong with creamy, garlic dressing, croutons and bacon bits. Is it the healthiest salad out … More How about a BLT Caesar Pasta Salad for dinner tonight?

Our conversation pertaining to capybaras will continue today, and I hope you’re enjoying learning about these animals as much as I have.

While it is more than safe to wager that human beings are becoming stupider on an alarming basis, I would argue it’s equally safe to wager that we are becoming nastier and nastier, in a general sense, at an equally alarming rate. Just about each and every time I leave my house and venture out … More What happened to basic human kindness?
When I was in my teens, I had a hell of a time with armpit sweat. I figure it is worth stipulating that despite the monsoon stemming from my armpit region, odour was never an issue for me, as odd as that sounds. I would sweat so badly that the stains were down to my … More Sweaty armpits? You need to try this product
I have a somewhat conflicted relationship with both cooking and baking. When I was a teenager, I went through a phase during which I was positively obsessed with cooking, to the point my parents enrolled me in a week-long cooking course.
