I took off this past weekend. I am not really sure why I took to the road since quite a few things argued against me taking the time off. Doing so, even though it was just a quick trip where I only lost two nights and a day and half, definitely put me behind the eight ball on several of my freelance projects. So I probably should have done the ( Read more... )

Living in a bubble is not a good thing. Especially when you don’t even realize you are in one. Well unless it results in a made for TV movie … hmmm, on second thought I don’t really think any of us ever need to see a movie with John Travolta in a plastic bubble again. Well unless somebody came up with the good idea of having the remake be about ( Read more... )

So I had a party; I know, surprise, surprise me having a party. Like that has never happened before or is somehow unusual. Say like France invading Germany for once instead of the other way around.

Okay, I know how did I work France into this? I mean this is supposed to be about Oklahoman chili. I guess France is just on my mind since I came back ( Read more... )

Food has always been an interest of mine which of course is sort of a stupid thing to say since … well … food is of interest to everybody. It is not like there is a group of people somewhere on the planet, say maybe a Mexican gang of bandits from the Old West, who are going …  
Food? Food? Wee don't neeed no steenken food!
Everyone is ( Read more... )

I have never been into fad diets. You know the ones I am talking about, we have all heard of them, and truth be told probably have even contemplate trying a few of them. I am not even sure what the current one is, probably something along the lines of the "Tahitian Pomegranate diet."

Why Tahitian you ask? Well because I believe the Republican ( Read more... )

A friend of mine, a fellow foodie, posted a recipe today that I just have to try. She is more into Thai and Asian food than I am but it looked like a great way to do eggs. Since she posted a recipe and since I am bored and experimenting anyway tonight I decided to post the recipe that I trying tonight.

Hey don't make fun of me, cooking is keeping me ( Read more... )

I was flipping through the April issue of Food and Wine Magazine recently. You know the drill, basically just randomly scanning it with my mind on autopilot. Or if I was more truthful about it, I would admit that my mind was actually just pre-occupied with all the pretty pictures and only pretending to pay attention to the text. This of course has ( Read more... )

You know given enough time many things in our lives run the risk of becoming a habit; or would it be more proper to say "habit forming?"

Yes, yes I know it doesn't really matter, well except for those of us with the terrible genetic affliction of being a New England WASP; to us these questions of proper grammar or spelling can be maddening. ( Read more... )

A couple of months ago I would never have thought I would find myself walking down Flagler Avenue at night in West Palm Beach, singing theme songs from 1960s TV shows, while holding a balloon that seemed to have a bizarre version of Tourette's syndrome which caused it to blink in a completely random and ( Read more... )

Life does what life wants.

Funny that I get reminded of that again when all I am trying to do is setup an appointment to get my tattoo done. I thought it would be simply, I thought it would be easy, and it seems I thought wrong.

I first tried to setup an appointment for June 20th, the 1 year anniversary of my divorce and Y-E-S, I have had several ( Read more... )
