Have you ever had one of those moments where you stuff yourself even though you are full? At the annual Santa Cruz clam chowder festival/competition, I did just that. My Aunty Shelli, who also brought me to the food festival in San Francisco, surprised me yet again by taking me to this amazing event. The…

Tonkat-Sue
Japanese Tonkatsu, or chicken/pork cutlet, is something that you must try. Whenever my mom makes it for dinner, I go crazy! It’s like fried chicken, but so much more delicious. Every now and then my mom will make us chicken or pork Tonkatsu. It’s a real treat, but whenever I’m chowing down on those tender, crunchy…
L’Eggo Your Eggos
I know what you’re thinking: “Seriously Nate? Eggos? I used to eat that when I was a kid!” Here’s the thing: At Priory (my school), my sister and I often have to leave home early to get to band/choir in the morning. As our before school classes start at around 7:30 am, we are often…
Sweet Kombucha
I’m sure all of you have heard of the trending drink, Kombucha, before, but the question is, have you actually tried it? I was walking around at Robert’s Market (Portola Valley’s “Safeway”) last week and the first aisle I visited was the drinks section. As my eyes skimmed over Arizona Tea, Gatorade, Izee’s, and all…
Taking on the Taco Salad
One of my New Years resolutions is to cook more often. While I eat and taste food a lot, I realized that I don’t exactly cook that often. Since this was one of my dad’s resolutions as well, we try to pick at least one day out of every week to make a meal for…
Eating Ethiopian Style
Before I begin, happy New Year! I hope that everyone had an amazing (and food filled) experience celebrating the various holidays that come about this time of the year. It’s been quite a while since I started this blog back in 2015 or so, and I want to say thank you to all of my…
We Don’t Need To Go To The Market!
Fruit is a great snack, I think we can all say that. But like all other foods, you usually have to drive to Safeway, Whole Foods, or the farmers market to buy them. Well, ever since my family and I moved in to our house, we haven’t really taken notice of our orange tree in…
Burritos For All
It’s always fun to apply your passion to a community service project… If you didn’t know, a good 3-4 years ago several families including my own formed a community service group, A Greater We. We’ve been volunteering in a variety of service events. Last month, we participated in our own take of the Burrito Project. The goal…
Feed the Panther!
First of all, I didn’t do a Halloween post this week because I did one last year, but I do hope that everyone had a fun night of trick or treating and throwing up after eating 10+ candy bars. With out further ado, here we go! Has anyone ever run for class president or class…
You Have to Try This!
So I was doing homework in my room the other day when my dad tells me that I “have to try this” new snack. He told me that it was a low carb version of popcorn, so I get excited because I’m all about healthy, tasty foods. The package read Makhana: Popped Water Lily Seeds,…
