You Bought A What?
How many of you have been to an auction? I am not talking about some quiet little charity thing where everyone politely writes down a bid on a piece of paper and the bids are announced over dinner. I am talking about a loud, rancorous, jam-packed explosion of noise and people with a star running…
The Buffet in Hell — Election Edition
Yeah, I know there was an election this past week but I have something more important going on. I am fat… or so the doctor tells me… GRRRRRRR! I hate dieting. Let me repeat that… I HATE dieting. I mean I know I have to cut down on my cholesterol and fat intake but the…
The Ball-less Wonder (or I Really Gotta Watch My Mouth Once In A While)
Well, I did it again… I got a standing ovation while standing in a line at a superstore. It could have gone either way…I either get punched or I get applause. Luckily, I got applause. I was not having a very good day. The previous day I had totalled my car and I hurt. On…
BACON! BACON! BACON!
With the pandemic and social distancing still on, shopping has been anything but easy. For instance, I have NEVER ever seen the meat case at Costco completely empty before. I am not talking less variety than normal. I mean completely empty of all fresh meat… No ground beef. No fresh chicken. No pork roast. Nada….
Recipe for the Apocalypse
Those of you who know me know that when I cook, I cook a lot. Not just a lot. A LOT! Being a former caterer and a Master Cook in the SCA, it is sort of expected. The standing joke is that I have enough food in my fridge to feed an entire Boy Scout…

What The Hell Is In This?
All cooks do it whether they admit it or not. You hate to throw out food. I know I do. Any time my husband opens the refrigerator and starts complaining about how full it is, I simply hold my breath, refuse to answer and hope he moves along as quickly as possible to the next…
The Holiday Epidemic We Are All Ignoring – To Our Peril!
You better watch out or it will get you!
The Buffet In Hell: Halloween Edition
Tonight is Halloween and it is time for another edition of The Buffet In Hell! What additional food item will be enjoyed this night by Adolf Hitler and his fellow losers in Hell? Is it Spam? Nasty but no. Maybe tripe? Gross but it can be made edible. Pho, anyone? Corn smut? While its native…
DAMN YOU COSTCO!!!!
Never shop at Costco during a blizzard! Sounds like a joke, right?!? Damn you to blazes, Costco! You ruined my New Year’s Resolution again! I swear I tried. But, you blew it away again! I promised the doctor I would lose weight. Twenty pounds to be exact. And, I was doing pretty well until —…
You Must Be Kidding Me!?!
Political correctness can go take a flying leap! Especially when it affects my cooking. There are many important things affecting the world today that you should be upset about: Poverty. War. Famine. Disease. My making a pot of pasta sauce is not one of them. Need I explain? Okay, I will One of my favorite…
