    • “Pineapple Bob” and Poached Pineapple in Vanilla Spiced Syrup

      Let me tell you about “Pineapple Bob”. Well, that’s my secret name for him. Surely he has some eloquent proper Chinese name (which most likely I can’t pronounce anyway) so he will be forever known as pineapple Bob to me. I see him about everyday as I pass by on the street. He sets up…

    • Banana Pudding and Homemade “Nilla” Wafers

      I’ve never been a big fan of banana pudding. Not that I don’t like it, it’s just not something I ever had a big taste for. That all changed a few years ago when I set foot in a BBQ place called Baby Blues in San Francisco. The first time we went there was on…

Truth be told if you buy them in the can they really are ugly, so try to find them in Asian markets…

    • Mocha Brownies with Coffee Drizzle Icing

      Is there such a word as Jamocha? Or is it like “ja-mon” ala the Michael Jackson song lyric. These are the things that keep my up at night. Life’s serious questions ;-) When I was in college I used to frequent Arby’s and buy their jamocha shakes. Those shakes got me through college. When I…
