I could not stop chugging water today. At one point I literally had to pull over to a gas station and buy a bottle of water because the thought of waiting until I got home made my mouth feel like paste. Nice, right? I’m not sure what it was – usually it’s quite the opposite […]

Not So Secret Santa!
It’s easy for me to pick out the highlight of my Thursday. It occurred when I picked up the mail this afternoon and found a package – with my name on it! I ripped open the box and suddenly, my Secret Santa was not-so-secret anymore! The amazing and lovely Sarah from Our Kitchen Adventures was […]
Gingerbread Cheesecake
What do you think – do those two words belong together? I woke up a little late this morning, and since I had to take my brother to school, that meant breakfast would have to wait (since I like to sit and enjoy it rather than grab and go). I brought a mug of Coffee […]

Winter break has officially arrived here at Eating Bender! I finished my last exam at 2:00 pm yesterday afternoon and headed straight for the airport with my mom. It was a bittersweet ending because on the one hand, I now have three straight weeks of free time and the holidays to look forward to. But […]
Study Buddy
Mr. Claus is helping me learn about Business & Government. For example, did you know that for many years, he has been running a natural monopoly up at the North Pole? There’s no other workshop like his – in fact, one could even say that “Santa’s Workshop” is an example of a trademark. Ok, I […]
