When I first saw this menu item I had to ask the waiter to speak with the chef. I was genuinely curious as the legacy behind the name as it was the most foreign thing I had ever heard. It turned out to be quite the lengthy history lesson. I won’t repeat what I learned here. Let’s get to some good eating! Continue reading →

Quick, easy, full of protein … there’s really an obvious dirty joke there. Still, as far as nutrition goes, it’s important to have healthy variety that’s easy to make. Here’s eight quick and easy protein snacks that fit the bill:

I started my rehearsed introduction as I smiled, lifting the plate of donuts up slowly as I spoke, “Today I’d like to show you how to make …”

“Oh c’mon!” someone in the audience screamed. “Healthy donuts? Seriously? Gimme a break, Roc!”

I awoke abruptly, concerned by the dream. Why was I on a cooking show? Why was someone badmouthing me? Why wasn’t I throwing donuts at him? Continue reading →

“I’d eat healthy but everything tastes so bland. I need flavour.”

I had heard this, or similar phrases, long enough. I was sick of it. It infuriated me. Healthy eating has never been about denying yourself good tasting things. It’s about educating yourself on how to make tasty things with healthier ingredients. Sigh. I swear some days I’d be better off just smashing my head against the wall repeatedly. Continue reading →

So many things in this life are subjective.

It wasn’t too long ago I was enjoying some downtime on a lowsec terrestrial world. This particular world was only about 30% water based which left for a thin atmosphere and given its far proximity from the system’s sun, most natural water bodies were frozen most of the year.

One evening I paid an unbelievable amount of ISK for a local delicacy, something I would’ve paid ten times less for on a more bountiful planet. Supply and demand at its best. I only hoped it tasted worth the price.

It did. Continue reading →

I stood over him, drenched in blood spatter, my one eye swollen shut from such intense swelling that I could feel it crushing the orb, threatening my vision permanently.

I was panting heavily, my bare chest heaving up and down from the sheer exertion of survival, ignoring the fire of my own wounds. Continue reading →

There must always be a balance in life. It can’t always be all work, always discipline. That’s enough to drive me insane. Me too. Continue reading →

Short and sweet today, just like me. Big, bulky, annoying salad containers – we’ve all used them, right? How many have spilled dressing or had the top pop off? There must be a better way. Guess what? There is, and it’s been around longer than any salad container. Mason jars.  Continue reading →

One of my favourite ships to fly, the Stabber. A fleet of Stabbers can be devastating. Never underestimate Minmatar engineering.

Granted, we’re not building spaceships today, and these Stabbers are nowhere near as good for your health, but sometimes it’s good just to have a little fun, and these Stabbers deliver, with pictures!

Meat is good. Never doubt that. Something I learned being raised amongst the Amarr aristocracy, however, was how very easy it could be to give into excess and gluttony. So many overweight, out of shape, vain, fat Amarr. I sometimes wonder how they ever managed to enslave us in the first place. Anywho …

Live a balanced life, even if it’s an immortal one.  Continue reading →
