Just follow The Recipe

Cooking is an art. Some of us are great at it, some are so-so and some are downright awful. Thankfully, for the downright awful, and even the so-so’s, the internet is filled with recipes how-to’s for making anything your heart desire. If you are old school or not internet savvy, there are recipe books for […]

If Only I Had Time

Last Saturday, while making a peanut butter and jam sandwich, I washed the knife after putting it into the peanut butter, something I never do. I did it because I did not want to get peanut butter in the jam. It looks gross. But it’s something I have never done, washing the knife that is. […]

Who Put The Foot In My Breast??

I was browsing the web when I came across a story that I had to click on. Gruesome Find At A Grocery Store! Of course it got my attention. I immediately thought someone had found a rat or something like that in their groceries. When I read it, I had to read it again. Are […]

Giant Apple Pancake! Ihop Style!

My BLT

This is a longish rant about a dining experience. Move along if you don’t want to be bored to death. I do not eat out at restaurants a lot and because of this, when I go out to eat without my wife in tow, I am usually in a state of consternation about what, and […]
