Candi’s Corner : THAT AWKWARD MOMENT
by Contributor Candace Cordelia There’s no need to strive for cool. Everyone is a nerd in some way. You may be a Game of Thrones nerd, French food nerd, American politics nerd, or Hong Kong fashion nerd. The point is that we all have or have had something that we are passionate about, something that continues to keep our motors running. Essentially, aside from the bromantic love triangle between Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller in That Awkward Moment, the movie is all about finding your passion, or a quest to find someone to be passionate about.

Trader Joe’s Tarte D’ Alsace
Everyone knows my love affair with Trader Joe’s – but this is my favorite, favorite thing from there: 4+++ TINE RATING! The Maitre Pierre Tart D’ Alsace w/ Ham, Caramelized Onions & Gruyere Cheese. It’s a cross between a pizza, tarte and crepe. The ham is closer to prosciutto, the center of the tarte stays gooey, the crust, when you watch it and don’t let it burn, is golden crunchy. My friend Heather introduced me to it a couple of years back on NYE and I still make it my go to when I’m feeling blue and need a treat! $4.99. It’s only enough for 1, don’t even think about…
