Well here I am catching up on what I have been doing for the last four days. I was invited to a BBQ at an old employers house and really intended to go but some how got my days mixed up and missed the BBQ. The invitation said it was going on for two days so I was welcome to show up Sunday there just...
After spending every weekend in August (and part of July) running around various parts of the state, for good reason, it was nice to take a break over the long Labor Day weekend. I live in a suburb of the city where, regrettably, people like to "come to party." By people, I mean sateen shirt-wearing...
Got this from the Memes Anonymous group. (Although, I'll say that many of these items are not really American foods.) Bold the stuff you've tried and liked. Italicize stuff you've tried and didn't like. 1. New York pizza 2. Hoppin' John 3. New Mexico green chile 4. Homemade buttermilk biscuits 5....
Last seen at Purplesque's blog. I don't ascribe to a vegetarian or vegan diet, but I really think a lot of veggie dishes deserve good press. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: 1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 3)...
The Beloved and I took a break from a pretty busy weekend on Saturday night to head out for a bit of a date-night to a restaurant that we’ve been interested in trying ever since we received the latest issue of Imbibe magazine. In the article entitled, “The 100 Best Places to Drink Beer In...
So, (this is Darius) we haven't updated in a while and today while staying at home I realized how many images there were on the camera that needed posting. (Warning, most are food photos so prepare your mouths for excessive moisture) So without further ado... This is some sriracha pasta that we made...
Google was kind enough to find the only Rosh Hashanah joke I've ever come across. Granted, if I were Jewish I may have heard others, but atonement usually doesn't lend itself to a great deal of humor. Without further ado... ---------------------------------------- On the Jewish New Year, Rosh...
So another month has gone by, and I'm happy to say that competitive season is over, almost. We just got through the personal care mid-years and now I'm working on pet care mid-years. I don't think I'll be as involved with pet care as I was with personal care. Amidst all this work, however, we still...
Each day I find odd things at the Internet, such as this poem, "The Chaos." I would never ever guess that something like this would exist... So, wanna practice your English pronunciation? Try this poem! The Chaos Gerard Nolst Trenité. This version is essentially the author's own final text, as also...
As most of my faithful readers know, I'm a genteel southern lady. So you can imagine my delight when I arrived at Joojy's house and met the proprietor of the place, Miss Trixie Pickles. She was a gracious host, immediately offering me a seat in her parlor and a seltzer water. Miss Pickles owns a...
Today we took time to sleep late and have a decent breakfast. We cooked steaks and eggs, as well as, instant oats, grits, cereal, etc. Since today is a holiday, we thought it would be a good day to figure out the Metro since we have to be in DC bright and early in the morning for our White House...
Which TV chef would you want to have prepare a meal for you? I used to say that if I ever became ridiculously rich, I would hire Emeril Lagasse to come over one afternoon and hang out in the kitchen, so we could prepare a meal together. I'd make cajun cheese grits (the only recipe I ever...
yesterday my eyes started watering uncontrollably. i think that what i thought was a cold is actually allergies. i don't have much experience with seasonal allergies. i don't normally suffer from those. my experience of pollen is usually rubbing it between my fingers and feeling it squeak and go...
Don't you talk to me about good health. I don't want to hear none of your hooplah about washboard abs, or any of that high calorie low calorie vegetable cabbage soup diet nonsense. I won't hear it! Bah, I see you hippies telling me I don't need no toxins in my cow beef, well what the hell's a...
If you need to cut through steel, concrete, tile or some other heavy material, you may need an angle grinder. Many construction supply companies offer a broad selection of industrial and construction supplies, including angle grinders. Angle Grinders are power tools for cutting, grinding, polishing,...
Something special in the air This past weekend I went to Oxford/Anniston, AL to participate in a clinic. My knee was a little gimpy from getting kicked on Wed., so I wasn't 100%. Friday night, Mr. Tor taught the BB class. I didn't know he was going to be there and he didn't know I was going to be...
Just thought I would give another update from our house status post my Monday gallbladder surgery. I still hurt. No, it’s not near as much as what it was, but yeah it still hurts. I quit taking the pain pills the other day but started taking them again yesterday and am doing lots better when I...
