FreeRice.com

A friend referred this site to Cooking Dummy.

“For each word you get right, we donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.”

What a great concept she thought. Many Asians, including Cooking Dummy have rice three times a day. She remembers her grandma’s famous saying, “If you don’t finish your rice, your future husband will have acne problems.” Many girls, including Cooking Dummy, have the luxury to worry about starchy carbohydrates when there’re people suffering from hunger.

Cooking Dummy has been playing this game everyday to brush up her vocabularies and give free rice to those in need.

Freerice.com is a sister site of poverty.com and is mentioned on the World Food Programme

As of yesterday, 293,172,530 have been donated!

Check out the FAQ section. Start playing now!

Remember to finish your rice!!!

Lightning @ Cabbagetown

If you’ve watched the salad competition videos (there are 3 videos), you’re probably wondering why Cooking Dummy put mushrooms in the Asian salad. You see, Sarah and Cooking Dummy were at Cabbagetown looking for the secret ingredient.

Guess who she bumped into? It was a dark and cloudy day…

Her friend Seth was surprised she used a mushroom. He said, “Why in the hell did you use a mushroom as your secret ingredient? I would have obliterated all of you guys.” Cooking Dummy didn’t know how to respond to his comment. Should she’ve used a better secret ingredient?

Watch the videos to see how Kevin is going down!

7:00 am already?!?
Luckily, Dominion is right around the corner.

As you probably have guessed, Cooking Dummy had a tough time trying to find romaines and mushrooms by herself. She had to ask the store clerk for directions. She was a little disappointed to discover Dominion’s mushrooms only come in packages! She only needed five mushrooms!

Kevin G.
She wants to dedicate a section for Kevin. All the contestants were enlightened by his cheerful voice all week before the competition.

Mon: “My salad is going to be the best.”
Tues: “Everyone will love my salad.”
Wed: “Be scared. Be very scared.”
Thur: “What are you going to make? My salad will be visually appealing.”
Fri: “My salad will rock. Be very scared.”

Competition!
Five contestants signed up. Two dropped out.
