If you don’t know what Soy Vay is, it is a line of sauces available in stores.  It was created by a Jewish guy,  and an Asian girl…..hence the name.

Pretty much four out of the five workdays, I’ll make my own Teriyaki bowl for lunch.   Chicken breast, broccoli, rice, and shredded carrots —- and [...]

Ralph’s Supermarket seems to get a lot of mention in my blog, and although I don’t hate the store, it’s not my favorite food store either.
(See posts about Fresh & Easy)
Anyway, many Ralph’s locations here in Los Angeles have elevators in them.  The reason is because many stores have 2nd level parking, and large elevators [...]

Even though his head and body are now probably located in different zip codes, Ted Williams was once not only a spectacular baseball player, but also a financially savvy human.
According to a buddy of mine, the long-time Boston Red Sox legend used to try to pay for stuff using personal checks as much as possible.
His [...]

If I could, I would stretch Fresh & Easy’s free samples into an entire meal.   Actually, I’ve never met a single other human that doesn’t like free samples.
If we taste something and enjoy it, our instincts tell us that we want more of it.  However, in “society” it’s often frowned upon to go back for [...]

The other day I went into the supermarket to purchase some burgers to bring to a bbq.   I went into the store specifically to get the meat, buns, and cheese.
I’m just wondering why the burgers come in packs of 12, and all the options for buns come in packs of 8.
Ralph’s supermarket offers 4 or [...]

Recently I decided to venture to Off Broadway Shoes, a large shoe warehouse on Sunset Blvd near my apartment.   I had an idea of what kind of shoes I was going to look for, but there was no guarantee that I was going to purchase a pair  — just wanted to look.
What I did intend [...]

Why are you making fun of advancing technology?  What did it ever do to you? (Besides help create bombs, machines guns, and biochemical warfare).  Keep in mind I’m referring to consumer technology from here on out.
I remember when we all first started hearing about the iPad.   It was hip to make fun of it, especially [...]

I recently went into the Van Nuys, CA Target (by work), and was looking for one of those red baskets to shop with.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any by the entrance, or any by the registers.  Where could they all be?  Weird.
The other strange thing is that Target (and I’m sure other stores as well) [...]

I actually enjoy the taste of Pepto Bismol.  In fact, with my friend Steve, I discussed the idea of possibly making a cocktail with the Pepto.   Vodka/Pepto Bismol perhaps.   Steve suggested I call it a “Pinko Commie.”
So I told another friend I went window shopping recently.  He asked me if I bought anything.  I replied, [...]

This might not be the most environmentally conscious blog post, but I have to be honest with you people —- paper napkins suck, a lot.
Not from the point of view of me liking to embrace my own slobbiness, but because compared to paper towels, they are useless.
Napkins are thin, terrible at absorbing anything, and when [...]
