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.

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

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...
