I Can't Always Change People's Political Opinions, But I Can Change Their Opinions On Popcorn
Ever had a bad batch of popcorn ruin a movie night? Even the best movies can get overshadowed by a batch of popcorn with no flavor. Maybe someone put too little salt. Or they could've used sugar instead of salt.

ASIAN COOKING - Tips, tricks and ideas
Hello everyone. Here is a little back story about me. As a Wasian (half French, half Pinay), I love Asian food. It is the type of food that makes me feel the most at home. My mom is Filipino, she is the one who raised my sister and me, so we grew up with Asian food. And my dad, although French, lives in China and so whenever I go to China and see him, I have the opportunity to try delicious dishes there too.

My Love for Sushi and Chirashi Don
I love sushi. I’m a sushi addict, and often eat it at least twice a week. I love it for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons however is because of the variety. In a single meal you can have a half a dozen different types of fish or other ingredients, all served with (hopefully) high quality rice. I love sushi for its simplicity and respect for individual ingredients.

Meat Sweats?
As a child I grew up in the Northwest and the term Barbeque was a verb. You barbequed a meat it was an action word, not a noun. When I advanced to Junior High (7th grade), our family moved to Tennessee. There was a drastic culture shock in many ways, but one incident involved a food called barbeque. In Tennessee, at that time in 1977, barbeque was a noun.

Adventures on Myrtle Beach-Kirks Ice Cream!!
My husband and I went to get a sweet treat after some trash food *cries* and so we went to get some ice cream. IT WAS THE MOST flavorful ice cream I've ever had!. The flavor is very rich and creamy! My husband got the moose tracks ice cream on a regular sugar cone, and he thought it was great. I got the Blueberry Cheesecake Yogurt and it was ASTRONOMICAL! It wasn't too sweet, and it wasn't too flavorless. It also had cheesecake bits in it and it just made it even better. You will not regret coming here at all! Its really close to Luigi's Trattoria and Food Lion. They have a couple of benches around for people to sit on (outside of course) and they have the benches a safe distance away from other people (because as you know, COVID-19 and social distancing rules) But it was very enjoyable, on a bench right next to the shop secluded and private. It was great ice cream to enjoy on a wonderful Tuesday night. The Ice Cream was also Blue Bell brand so when its Blue Bell you know its fresh, and you know its dang near good! Especially if it's from the South. South Carolina overall hasn't disappointed me when it came down to dairy. I am from New York so having ice cream from a different state is pretty new to me, but I enjoyed it a lot. The Ice cream is rich in flavor, it's not overwhelming, it's not underwhelming. It's completely just right. The texture when it hits your tongue is very smooth. It's creamy and light, even diabetics can enjoy it! Their Moose Tracks Ice Cream is also very rich . It has Reese's cups and Oreo cookie chunks with vanilla ice cream and fudge swirls (which is called moose tracks) . But next time when I come back to Kirks which is maybe next year cause I'm from NY, I might get butter pecan or a sundae with multiple flavors. And they have tons of flavors, Banana Pudding, Birthday Cake, Black Walnut, etc. Flavors you never even heard of! Including 8 different types of cones which include cups and cones, single, double, triple, waffle cone, dream cone, sprinkles and extra toppings are just 90 cents. And its crazy because my husband loved it. and i kinda lost myself during this ice cream pick me up. I was thinking of just all the happy memories i had when i was just a small girl. Ice cream was my favorite type of treat in all time. Chips and just a can of juice used to keep me so full. I missed that. I miss all of that. I always think to myself what if I was living the life of ice cream, having people just enjoy me. And accepting me for who I am. I wish i was just as accepted in society just how people choose their choice of ice cream. During this time, I was on meds, so when you're on medication your thoughts just run wild. I wish I was also just as free as my thoughts. Free period. The breeze was so beautiful that night. All night I just kept thinking about how happy I was. But how lost I felt. Like I didn't have that security blanket I've always wanted to have. It was mortifying. When you have anxiety, everything feels scary. The knots in your stomach, the clammy hands, the marbles in your throat. Choking on every single blue marble there is with the green swirls. because all that sadness is built in each and every marble. but that green swirl is that sign of hope. the little itty bitty noise that comes out of your mouth, thats hope. hope that someone would hear you. hope that things in life will get better. even if it feels like you drowning in your own throat. it will get better, i told the night sky. It will get better.

It’s my birthday, I demand duck!
My husband and I have been together for 5 years now. Like most couples, we love to indulge in good food together. In fact for our first date he cooked up salmon for dinner; it did not disappoint.

My first time cooking Chicken Hearts
I love to try new foods. Eating them, cooking them, learning about them, and enjoying them(mostly). Early on in my life outside the parents' home I realized I enjoyed more expensive tastes. Sadly my budget did not match my taste. Instead I used the basic cooking skills my parents had taught me plus the internet and books to learn to cook the foods I enjoyed. Sometimes I have mastered a recipe to restaurant quality perfection, but sadly just as often there are those that I have really messed up. Last night, I messed up a new one: chicken hearts.

Recipe: This healthy Malay-inspired okra dish will spice up your life
Growing up, my foster family had to force veggies down my throat, and I eventually fell in love (with greens) and gave willful consent to it at age 12. Ha. From then on, not having at least one vegetable side dish on the dinner table would be entirely abnormal for me.
