Everything I used was found around the house – an old chinese food container, duct tape, cardboard, foil, and packing tape. When I finished, the light was still kind of harsh, so I added a paper towel to diffuse it.

Snoopy’s Dish

The Parks are what used to be known as Camp Snoopy–a theme park entirely inside the Mall of America. I believe Nickelodeon has negotiated a deal with the MOA to re-theme this area. It will feature characters such as Sponge-Bob. You can even see Snoopy’s dish which was a popular meeting spot.

Opening in 1992, the Mall of America is the largest shopping mall in the United States (and perhaps the world, when all things are considered). It has a gross area of 4.2 million square feet which contains 500+ shops, restaurants, clubs, an underground aquarium, cinema, flight simulators, LEGO Imagination Center, and theme park. It even boasts 20,000 parking spaces and a dedicated light rail station. In a recent survey, Mall of America was the 2nd most visited tourist destination in the United States, bringing in around 40 million visitors per year.

Local food (109/365)

Day 109: One of the best things about visiting Hawaii is eating local food. After a few hours of sunbathing at the beach, we had lunch at Rainbow Drive-In, admired by locals and tourists alike. Pictured above is a mix plate and chili rice. I’m not sure if it was the food or sun, but we came back to the room around 2:30pm and I fell asleep until 11:00pm.

NYC – Queens – Flushing: Flushing Mall Food Court – Xi’an Famous Foods – Stewed Pork Burger


Image by wallyg
Xi’an Famous Foods serves food from the city of Xi’an, an ancient city in the western region of China, which as the starting point of the Silk Road, boasts a unique cuisine that can best be described as a fusion of Middle Eastern and Chinese foods. Their most popular dishes include the Liang Pi "Cold Skin" Noodles, Savory Cumin Lamb Burger, Stewed Pork Burger, Lamb Pao Mo Soup, and various types of Hand-Pulled noodles. Their location at the Flushing Mall Food Court is their second, with the original a few blocks away at the Golden Mall on Main Street.

Xi’an Famous Foods’ Pork Burger was selected #38 on The 101 Best Sandwiches in New York by Grub Street and New York Magazine.

You’d think stations would have been pouring in from around the world. Alas, of all these contraptions, only one dish kinda-sorta worked (and that included the antennae).

Ferret Food & Treats

If you know the treat, add a note!

I took this more a company in NYC who is interested in my ferret photography for a book.

A few nice food images I found:

Food = Drugs


Image by pixeljones
Parthenios Luncheonette
132 N Church St,
Rockford, IL

It seems that when the Parthenios took over this former drugstore they didn’t repaint the sign, just added new neon. So, "Drugs" is now "Food" or "Parthenios." It’s ugly but cool that it is a kind of neon Palimpsest. I guess a vintage sign (like ancient parchment) is sometimes cheaper to reuse than make new.

At least "soda" still makes sense.

Hamburg, the food, not the city

For the Friday Food Fiesta Hamburger Challenge!

This is a Dagwood burger from Steers, the best fast-food burger joint in South Africa. Flame grilled goodness that beats the pants off McD and Burger King cardburgers.

Lilian and David’s Club Sandwich – Just Fine Food

Lilian and David’s Club Sandwich – Just Fine Food AUD16.50

Lilian and David were smart. They ordered a club sandwich to share, so that they could have a vanilla slice as well!
—
We had lunch at Just Fine Food, just to try the vanilla slice, which was pretty good, but the vanilla flavour wasn’t as strong as I’d liked and the custard seemed to be too starchy, and less eggy and creamy. Still pretty good though. While we were there, about an hour, we saw 2 and a half trays sold. Each tray had 48 slices! Amazing.

Food crisis to cause malnutrition: UN


Image by publik16
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Tuesday that he was launching a task force to ensure a solid, coordinated international response to the food crisis. The task force will work to draft a strategy on both short- and long-term responses to food supply strains, which economists have linked to factors including high fuel and fertiliser costs, the use of crops for biofuels, and commodity market speculation.

Suspect Foods – Foods That Can Cause Health Problems  

Article by Dr. Carri A. Drzyzga

Eating a balanced diet filled with whole grains, lean meats, and fresh fruits and vegetables is well-known to be a healthy choice. However, some people continue to suffer chronic health problems despite improving their diet. When mainstream doctors are stumped, many individuals have found that removing certain foods from their diet can relieve symptoms, and in some cases completely cure the problem. Support can be found for dietary change through a naturopath or Ottawa wellness professional.

The top two offenders:1. Gluten. Individuals with digestive problems are likely to have heard of Celiac Disease, a disease in which the intestinal lining, called villi, is damaged by gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, oats, kamut and spelt), and nutrients are not absorbed properly. Approximately 1:100 people have Celiac Disease, and of those, most are either improperly diagnosed or completely undiagnosed. Celiac Disease and the related condition of Gluten Intolerance can present like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, and Fibromyalgia, as well as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Removing gluten from the diet can help the quality of life of many people with conditions that are confounding their doctors, not only those with digestive ailments. After eliminating all gluten from the diet, most people will see a marked change within 72 hours, though it can take a couple weeks for some to see the effects.

2. Dairy. Humans are the only species on the planet who drink the milk of another species, and the only mammals that drink milk of any type after weaning. Some cultures have a high rate of lactose intolerance, and dairy is not a big part of the diet in those areas. Milk and other dairy products can cause a build-up of mucous, leading to sinus problems and ear infections. Some studies have linked a diverse list of ailments to milk consumption – diabetes, Crohn’s Disease, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, and further studies have found that hormones such as rBGH are linked to early puberty in preteen girls. Dairy can take 2 weeks to a couple months to remove from the system, so patience is needed if you are eliminating dairy.

Many health conditions have a link to diet, and keeping a food log can help you determine if your symptoms follow a pattern. For example, do you always get a headache after ordering Chinese food? MSG could be an issue for you. Does your rheumatoid arthritis flare after eating Italian food? For some people foods in the nightshade family (tomato, eggplant, peppers, and potatoes) can lead to a flare. Other food ingredients such as sulfites and phenols have been linked to health concerns, and additives such as red dye #4 and nitrates can cause issues as diverse as headaches and hyperactivity.

If you have developed health problems that are difficult to diagnose, and troublesome to treat, and a food log hasn’t been helpful, another option is an elimination or rotation diet. If the food that is causing you trouble is in your day-to-day diet, then the food log wouldn’t have been helpful, so you need to eliminate it. Elimination diets work by you narrowing your diet to a few foods that are the least likely to be allergenic (often lamb, rice, and pears are chosen). If after two weeks the symptoms persist, then a new group of foods is chosen. If the symptoms are gone, then new foods are added in one at a time, and with several days between each new food until troublesome foods are identified. A rotation diet works by only serving a food once every 4-5 days, and works with a food log to discover the link between a symptom and a food.
