A Taste of the Ocean State
While Rhode Island is the smallest state in the nation, there is no shortage of great food. It's known as the Ocean State and after spending a few days exploring it, I can say it definitely lives up to its name! There's a never ending supply of fresh lobster, succulent clams, and much more.
Burning Question: When Is It OK to Eat Moldy Food?
The other day, a co-worker asked me whether it was OK to eat a piece of cheese that had grown slightly moldy. That question sparked a discussion on how to handle moldy foods. Can you ever simply cut off the bad parts and proceed to eat the rest?

What's More Important to You: Quality or Quantity of Food?
Perhaps in light of the big food holidays coming up, I've been giving a little bit of thought to portion control lately. I recently had a debate with a friend over whether we'd rather eat lots of mediocre food or a smaller quantity of very delicious food.

Do You Consider Food Art?
The other day while making skewered vegetables for grilling, my girlfriend and I got into an interesting discussion about food being like art. We were determined to make the skewers look as pretty as possible and carefully thought out each vegetable's placement. Presentation of food is important, but do you consider food art?
Let's Dish: What Foods Did You Once Dislike But Now Love?
Most of the food lovers I know were pickier eaters as kids. Over the years, as we try more foods, we discover that tastes we once disliked have transformed into deliciousness. I don't know about you, but once I start liking a new food, I can't get enough of it.
