Recap: FoodEX Tokyo 2013

By ⋅ March 12, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

After a flurry of posts two weeks ago, I was sadly unable to post anything last week. I was off and away, at the massive, terribly exciting, thrill-mobile that is FoodEX. Myself and several of my coworkers were stationed out in Chiba from Tuesday until Friday, where we were representing our company at the exhibition hall.

Things I’ve Eaten: Pork Shogayaki

By ⋅ February 16, 2012 ⋅ One comment

I like cooking. Here’s something I made recently (by “recently” I mean 15 minutes before writing this post).

They do have their good moments, yes, but I am still at a point in my life where I am less than enthused about spending long periods of time with them. Of [...]

Japanese BBQ: Yes, we can (grill that)!

By ⋅ November 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Food is awesome. Food is great. Food is fun. Anyone who says any differently is probably someone I can’t associate myself with. We need food to survive. We eat it every day (hopefully), and we’ve all had good and bad experiences with it. Everyone has their own preferences regarding tastes, cuisines, and cooking techniques. Most [...]
