Red Reishi- “The Mushroom Of Immortality.”
By: Marlene Affeld Found growing on logs and decaying tree stumps (primarily plum and oak trees) across the coastal regions of China, Korea, Japan, and North America, Red Reishi (Ganoderm lucidum), known as Ling Zhi in Chinese, is a common forest fungus oft described as “woody,” tough,” and “bitter. In spite of its unpleasant taste and texture, for centuries, the Red Reishi mushroom, also commonly known as Lin Zi or the “Mushroom of Immortality” has been prized for its amazing curative nutraceutical properties.

Better Off Without Milk
Very unpopular opinion: Cereal is best eaten dry. Let me just start by putting it out there that I am literally THE pickiest eater you’ll ever meet in your life.

Pineapple on Pizza. Top Story - March 2020.
We all have different tastes in everything. Most of us accept that some people will like things we don't or dislike things we enjoy. It's a normal part of life. There are, however, certain bones of contention in the foodie world. You might say that certain foods or combinations are 'Marmite'. That is to say you either you love them or hate them. Of course, there are probably a few strange people who 'don't mind' Marmite, could 'take it or leave it' but I can honestly say I've never met anyone that crazy.

Cake is disgusting
Do I really need to explain myself here? Cake is ungodly, unearthly and unhealthy. It makes you feel gross and bloated. And the taste? Is that really worth all the guilt afterwards? NO. The answer is no. Cake is horrible and I had to eat it EVERY. SINGLE. BIRTHDAY until I was 13. And every time everyone would sing the song I would start to gag. I even do now, because all I can think about is the future that my body will have to endure, with that revolting mass of sickly sweet flour. So let’s please stop serving it at every event because let's face it, everyones only eating it because they've been brainwashed to think it's good. The poor souls have just never appreciated how fun it is to NOT eat it. Every single second of every day my taste buds are smiling knowing that cake is NOT being forced upon them at that moment. And that, I believe, is the meaning of our existence. To not have to eat something that’s a social norm. “It’s good, just eat it!” No. I will not “just eat it” because I’m sacrificing not only the next hour of having to feel it in my mouth, but also my poor body having to absorb it for energy. I’m so sorry body, but you’re not going to get much from it. So no, I’m not going to “just eat it.” Guess what hun? You DON’T OWN ME. I’m not going to eat your disgusting homemade lemon cake. Even though I know you made it from your divorce tears. Yeah! I said it. GROW UP. Make something not boring, eh? Like earthworm soup (don’t actually make that). You could make something that doesn’t look gross maybe. Just a thought. But please people, stop bringing cake everywhere. You might as well just have dropped a raw gizzard on my plate and expect me to thank you for it. I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT. YOU CAN’T MAKE ME. It was NOT GOOD, NOT ENJOYABLE, AND OVERALL A DULL EXPERIENCE. Why is it just the norm to have it at every special event? Wow society, thanks for ruining my wedding because everyone expects me to have cake there! NO. I’m not going to feed my guests GARBAGE. If I wanted to do that, I’d just reincarnate as a raccoon. And every. Single. Restaurant on this PLANET has some sort of cake concoction on the front of some menu they FORCE your eyes to see. I did NOT consent to gaze upon that HORRIFIC creation! GET IT OUT OF MY FACE. No, I don’t have room for dessert this evening. In fact, I don’t have room for ANYTHING NOW, because I’ve lost my appetite. Thank you, good night. And my poor grandma. I don’t know what horrific cult made her do it, but she’s OBSESSED with cake recipes. And what am I supposed to say? “No you old hag I’d rather eat my own liver.” Because that’s the honest answer! But I can’t even tell her that because she’s my own grandma! So, yeah. Cake is tearing apart my relationships. I’ve had ENOUGH. ENOUGH I SAY. Tell me, if you’ve been stranded on an island for two weeks and someone offers you two plates, one with cake and one with chicken, which one will you choose? If you say cake I’m sorry but there’s no hope for you. You need to start your path of forgiveness to your poor body. Enough with the cake. The suffering. The groaning of stomachs because they hate us. Stop cake consumption today.

Girl Power and Hamentaschen
To Jewish people everywhere, a hamentasch is symbolic of the holiday Purim. The holiday falls in late February to mid-March. Originally celebrated to commemorate how the heroine Esther saved all the Jews of Shushan, Purim is a time to dress up, play games, and eat the fruit-filled cookies known as Hamentaschen. They are triangle-shaped, to remember the hat of the story's villain, Hamen (hence "hamen-tasch"). Hamen wanted to kill the Jews and advised the king of Shushan that Jews were not to be trusted. But just in time, Esther pleaded to the king, her husband, not to kill them. At great risk to herself, she revealed that she was in fact Jewish as well.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
I can’t stand coffee culture, I really dislike it, which seems odd to most people who know me. I am a coffee shop owner, or café, as it was known in the good old days.

Breakfast Glory
In a time when opinions can be polarizing, we need to come together where it matters, obscure breakfast preferences. Cold syrup belongs on hot pancakes. Cold syrup is the best thing to happen to pancakes since chocolate chips. It’s the most underrated breakfast delight. Breakfast should arouse multiple sensations with a delicate balance of flavors, textures, and temperatures. Cold syrup on hot pancakes accomplishes this. It confuses the senses and awakens the taste buds. It’s pure breakfast excellence that has been ignored far too long.

Unpopular Opinion But Coffee Doesn’t Taste Nice.....
Unpopular opinion but coffee doesn’t actually taste nice. Don’t get me wrong, I drink coffee everyday, but I don’t drink it purely for the taste. I drink it to give me a boost, and I have to have it very milky with some sugar to take away the actual taste of coffee. I just think there’s so many drink options to choose from and coffee is not one of the options that people would choose for the taste. Now this doesn’t include caramel lattes for example, because they completely take away the taste of the coffee anyway. I’m talking about a standard cup of coffee you would make at home.
