Lately, the combination of a busy school schedule and my addiction to Instagram has resulted in serious camera-neglect. I’ve found little time and reason to take the ol’ DSLR out.

Folks, it’s time for another edition of Odd Eats and this time, I’m taking it personally. That is, this time we’re trying a Japanese dish and I’m half-Japanese so I better like it. Nattō is a popular Japanese food consisting of fermented soy beans. Its origins date back hundreds if not thousands of years and [...]
