While we were in Boston a few weeks ago for our honeymoon we went to the most insane “food court” in the entire country. It also just so happens to be inside the historical Quincy Market. I swear to God that every type of food you could possible imagine was available: Chinese, Italian, [...]

Pluot?  What on earth, might you ask, is a pluot?  I was wondering the same thing myself when I saw the pile of these guys at Giant Eagle, so I decided to pick a few up.  Of course, the brain trust working the produce department had a sign up that said, "Plouts", so I walked [...]

I came across these little guys last week in Giant Eagle ($1.99) so I thought I would give them a try.  The first thing I noticed was that these little bastards were sticky as hell and no matter how many times you wash them the stickyness never goes away.  In that way they reminded me [...]

No, not like that. I live on the East-side of Cleveland. Anyway, I tried two fruits this weekend that I had never eaten before, papaya and mango. Both have a very complex flavor I wasn't quite able to wrap my mind around. Maybe I was thinking too hard, but I could [...]
