Our Spice Agent is back, and this time he gives us the goods on Cumin! Raanana is in da house.

January’s a tough month, folks. We’ve spent all our holiday cheer (and a good chunk of our annual income) so now we’re pretty much holding on by a thread until spring comes! Since hibernation pods don’t seem to be an option (yet) we’ve got to find a way to while away these winter months. Our suggestion: Shkoffing, slippers and sinema (err... cinema, we like alliterations). This week we’re doing dinner and a movie with some popcorn that eats like a meal and the watching the funny (and drool-worthy) flick, Crazy Stupid Love!

Shkoffing popcorn while watching a movie? Meh. Shkoffing this caramel and spice popcorn while watching Crazy, Stupid Love? Now that’s an evening! Check out this recipe for a snack so decadent, it eats like a meal!

Sometimes you just feel like eating a ginormous bowl of soup. With the ridiculous cold, fall and winter is about the only time you can really appreciate something like Pho. It’s a warm hug, for your stomach.

See, I have a thing for replicating restaurant food at home. Sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn’t (RIP Crème brûlée, cheesecake, 2009.). So when I had this soup at a Vietnamese place, I had to try my hand at it in the kitchen.

Contrary to what some people will tell you, Pho is really, really easy to make. I mean, if you want to get technical, there’s a plethora of recipes out there (on Google) that can get you a bowl of soup in 2 hours. Me? I want that soup STAT. If you want quick and easy, I can get that soup in your belly in 30 minutes, tops.
