Have you ever passed a restaurant and done a double take? You ask yourself “Is that new?” You look again and say “I’ve got to put this on my list of places to go.” This is how I felt the first time I drove by Fat Rosie’s, Taco & Tequila Bar at 870 N. Meacham, Schaumburg. I’m not sure …

Cultural Appreciation
After my taco crawl blog last week, I got into a conversation with a few people about cultural appropriation. I usually stay away from anything that may be considered a “hot topic” but I felt that this particular cultural guardian that I spoke to needed to understand the difference between “appropriation” and “appreciation.” If you hadn’t …

Technology of the Taco Pantry
You know what I hate? Technology. Not all technology….just when it makes life more difficult. You know little things like when you are doing the self-checkout at the grocery store and the machine won’t read your barcode because it is crinkled. Wasn’t it just easier to type in the barcode than to wait for some …
The Good. The Bad. The Habits.
Are all habits considered bad? I mean when you hear someone mention having a habit, is it common for them to say “I have such a good habit…..” When was the last time you heard your sister say “I have such a good habit of doing my dishes right away.” NO, she is more likely …
Rice Rice Baby
My apologies to Vanilla Ice. I know he likes to cook so I am hoping this will be flattering to him…. Be happy right now that I did not make a video to accompany my mutilation of this awesome classic rap song. Yo, homecooks, let’s kick it! Rice rice baby Rice rice baby All right …
