I have seen a lot of great (and not so great) Halloween costumes over the years. Storm troopers? Check! Cinderella? Check! Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? Check! Checkcheckcheckcheckcheckcheckcheck! Last Tuesday was Halloween as well as Beggar’s Night. In our neighborhood depending on the weather, we get anywhere from two to two hundred trick or…

Great Danes and Wasabi do not mix
I love sushi. I mean, I REALLY love sushi! There is nothing better when you have a craving than a Dragon Roll dipped in some quality soy mixed with fresh wasabi. And my favorite has to be the shrimp rolls My favorite place to go is probably Watami. They are kind of run of the…
Healthy? Riiiiiiiiiight!
There’s a reason healthy eating gets a bad rap from foodies… Because it deserves it. I am aware that makes me sound like an ass, but it is just the truth. Need proof? Okay. The other night I swung by Aldi’s to do some quick shopping. Don’t know Aldi’s??! Come on…! Aldi’s is like the…

How The Hell Do You Get Negative Flavor?
Have you ever eaten something you truly regret eating? Liver, of course, but I mean something supposedly actually edible. I have had a lot of bad meals but none that I could truly say affected the universe around me in such a bad way as to call down the wrath of the gods until, well,…

Food! Glorious Food!
When is the last time you had to carve soup with a knife? Sometimes, you make the best tasting concoctions purely by accident. Seriously, I have known culinary masterpieces to come out of nowhere. Dinner last Thursday is an example. My husband is a fantastic baker, a truly amazing baker, but he is not known…
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….
The Golden Hoard
Pande-fricking-monium! There I said it! That is what it has been like trying to shop this week after the panic caused by governmental incompetence. All I wanted was some fricking rice and it was sold out everywhere. Kroger? Nope. Needler’s? Nope. Aldi’s? Nope, again. Three strikes – you’re out! Guess where I finally found it?…
WHERE was that snake again?
I am sure by now that most of you have seen the news reports on those people from Alabama, I think, and their smoking nasty grill. You haven’t? Come on… You have not seen the news reports of the couple who started up their grill only to find that a very large snake had coiled…
