Cultural WTF: “It’s Just a Flesh Wound….”
We’ve had a virus-y, virus-y winter here in the CIE household. By the time spring finally rolled around, I was just hoping and praying for a virus-free week; the four of us just seemed in such an endless cycle. So … Continue reading

How Much do you Weigh?
In a past life I taught English as a Second Language in a study abroad program run by the University here. In the Communication Skills section, I can still recall one of the handouts, mimeographed in its original form year … Continue reading

Most newly pregnant women are pummelled with the basic information on what to avoid during pregnancy, and in most cases, these things were no surprise: raw/undercooked meat, smoking, illicit drugs, unpasteurized cheese, cat litter……….but aside from the pamphlet list that you get from the doctor, there are actually very many more products and drugs and airborne things to know about; something that I learned slowly over the course of the nine months before the Little One’s birth.

Smart Choices?
The only true shorthand I can think of that might be worthy of such labeling practice is this: Don’t eat anything with ingredients that your grandmother wouldn’t recognize. But the food industry wouldn’t be very gung-ho on that one, would they? Continue reading

For these chefs, this was truly the perfect device for them to tell the story of their lives and careers and relationship with food.
