PRODUCT: Fuwarinka Gum and Candy


Via Daily Candy

From the "Better Living Through Chemistry" files, comes the ultimate product for me. Fuwarinka Functional Candy and Gum is both (supposedly) delicious and useful. About an hour after one chews the gum or consumes the candy the consumer will begin to exude a delightful fragrance of either rose or vanilla. Or, if you need a more manly scent, "rose menthol."

This is so exciting for me. I am obsessed with smelling good and having my environment smell good. Imagine if I got to combine the chore of making myself smell nice with the pleasant activity of eating candy! And vanilla is my fragrance of choice, anyway.

If this works, then I could make this available freely to people who come into my general vicinity and encourage an entirely vanilla scented day for me. That would be nice ... I mean compared to some of the smells I get instead.

So I have ordered some of this stuff and when it gets here, I will try it out and report back as to whether it actually works or not. That's right, I am going to sacrifice my body for you, readers. Normally I am not one to be comfortable with strange chemicals allowed to run willy-nilly through my inner parts, but in the name of blogging, I'll do it. This once.

This has to be a joke, right? It sounds like one of those Willy Wonka experiments that wiped out half the Oompa Loompa population. Oh this can't be good.

Gotta love those Japanese candies.

If you turn into a giant, rose scented, radioactive moth-lizard, would you level LA for me? Not all of it, just the fiddly bits. Oh, and leave the freeways alone. Traffic is bad enough as is.

I don't know why some of you are so skeptical. Not only is gum that makes you smell fab totally plausible, but it is clearly an extremely practical invention.

This right here? Is the reason why my next vacation is to Tokyo.

In a matter of days I am going to be smelling like vanilla and you guys are going to be SO JEALOUS.

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

INFO+RECIPE: Isaac Brock: Rock Musician, Chef

MODEST MOUSE Modest Mouse is not my favorite band. It is one of those bands that everyone around me loves and I am overwhelmingly indifferent to. I can think of one song of theirs that I like. I saw them live one time and came away with the impression that I like the music, the vocals just leave a lot to be desired. That vocalist is Isaac Brock. Isaac Brock has never come off as a nice person to me, when reading his interviews about music. I'd basically written him off as a bad vocalist, and arrogant twat. Then, I read an interview with him in the Believer . The interview was not about music, it was about food, and cooking. And I was shocked. It was like I was reading about a whole different person. A person I liked and wanted to know. A person like me. I discovered that he was born a mere two days before me. If astrology has anything to say about it, then he probably IS a person like me. Not quite the same ... that two days mak...
