For those of you who don’t live in the Midwest, it is cold here. Really cold. Really, really cold. My body is going into hibernation mode and I just want to eat all the day. Or maybe it isn’t the cold, maybe I have been watching too much of The Hobbit. It seems to be …

Tokio Pub: Battle of the Chefs
I don’t care who you are but when it comes to cooking, I think we are all a little competitive. Whether you are competing with yourself to make something tastier or you are cooking with friends, you always want your dish to be the most original, the tastiest and presented like a piece of art. …
A Foodie Fun Day: Pecking Order
Am I the only one who feels you never forget your first? I mean, the first chef to truly knock your socks off with their food. (I’m not sure where you thought I was going on this one.) When I first started blogging, I had the honor to enjoy a huge feast prepared by Kristine …
Shaw’s Crab House: Tokyo Sushi Party Class
There are things we all enjoy doing during our weekends in the fall. There are those of us who like to hang out at football games and there are others who like to observe the fall colors while hiking in the woods. There are even people who really like to rake leaves. (I was never …
Sushi School at Shaw’s Crab House Chicago
School days. School Days. Learn some sushi rules days. Toasted nori, fish and some sticky rice. Put together to make my weekend nice. It is that time of year when I hear this song over and over in my head. (I may have changed the words just a little.) I start seeing the ads on …

“I know a wiener man. He owns a wiener stand. He sells most everything from wieners on down. Some day I’ll join his life, I’ll be his wiener wife. Hot Dog, I love that wiener man.” Do you know that song? My sister worked at a camp one year when she was in college and …
Tokio Pub
I am giggling, giggling from pure happiness. It is almost uncontrollable like a hiccup but it feels much better. The main reason for this spontaneous jocularity is that I had an absolutely fabulous lunch yesterday at Tokio Pub (1900 E. Higgins Road) in Schaumburg, IL. Have you heard of Tokio Pub? It is conveniently located in the …
The Model Recipe: BA’s Chicken Khao Soi
I am proud to say I am a cover girl. Are you? As you know, it can be pretty time consuming and overwhelming but the results are worth it. By cover girl of course I mean that I see a food magazine cover and I just have to make the recipe in the spotlight. They …
Foodie Fun Day: Sunda
I have a confession this morning. I like to look at food pictures online. I go to restaurant websites or Facebook pages and view these images like a peeping Tom. Yes, I know, it is a little bit voyeuristic but when you don’t live in a big city, you do what you have to do. …
Mu Shu Sticker
“Let’s order Chinese.” It was one of my most feared dinner recommendations as a kid. I hated Chinese food. Everything was always mixed together and it was almost impossible to get away from vegetables. (And even if I could pick out the veggies, they still managed to get their flavor intertwined in the sauce and …
