I take a lot of food photos with my phone, but I never realized how many until tonight. I needed to clear space on my memory card and discovered I had 5 months of food photos stored. So I’m finally putting them on the blog where they belong.
The top photo was taken at Uwajimaya, my [...]

Have you ever hosted a party and realized halfway through it that you were going to run out of food and/or booze and had no way to get any more? It’s not a good feeling.

Since I’m training for a half marathon, probably the last thing I should be eating is snickerdoodle ice cream. But there I was last night at Bluebird Homemade Ice Cream & Tea Room enjoying a scoop. I had also gotten a kids-size scoop of chocolate pudding ice cream for my son, and he did eat [...]

I went to college in St. Paul, Minnesota and lived through two of the coldest winters ever, which is saying something in that part of America. One record temperature was -75 degrees.

In the afternoon, my co-workers surprised me with an ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins.
It was a two-layer round cake. The top layer was vanilla ice cream, and the bottom was strawberry ice cream. The two layers were separated by a delicious chocolate cookie crust.

Full Tilt Ice Cream is scheduled to open June 20 in White Center. As its name suggests, it will have pinball machines. Full Tilt will also showcase local artists and musicians. I love that this business is opening in White Center, which is near where I live.
White Center is an unincorporated area that [...]

My dependable eating buddy, Lynn, joined me to sample some scoops.
