Farewell, trusted companion through many breakfasts….
For Christmas 1990, a friend of the family gave me…a toaster oven. I was in college, and this was a gift that had never once been on my radar as something I wanted or needed. But off to college it … Continue reading

A Halloween Safety Message
As a former Pizza Hut employee who spent four consecutive Halloweens becoming a nervous wreck driving pizza deliveries around town, please allow me to appeal to your humanity on this matter: DO NOT ORDER PIZZA DELIVERY TONIGHT!!! Seriously. Just don’t. … Continue reading
Chili, done MY way! (A repost)
With the arrival of cooler weather comes the appetite for hearty crock-pot dishes, and a favorite of ours is good old chili! As I write this, the chili is crockpotting away in the kitchen; as you read this, we’ve already … Continue reading
Beverage notes….
I don’t entirely understand what Coca-Cola is doing with these new “weird” Coke flavors, but I will admit that I genuinely like this one. That’s the current version. I don’t know if it tasted like a “dreamworld” or not, and … Continue reading

Diary of a Donut Peach
DAY ONE: I am not ripe. DAY TWO: I am not ripe. DAY THREE: Despite my high hopes, I am still not ripe. DAY FOUR, at 4:23am ET: Oh my God! It has happened! I am fulfilled, because I am now, at least, fully … Continue reading
And now, Candy.
Here’s a product I’ve discovered lately: Yes, it’s red licorice! I’ve got an unconquerable sweet tooth, I must admit. I have to be really careful about indulging it, for obvious reasons, so I try to err on the side of … Continue reading
It’s what’s for dinner!
I love breakfast sandwiches. Whoever first put eggs and meat and cheese on some kind of bread should be awarded a Nobel Prize. In fact, there should be a Nobel Prize for food. But that’s a thought for another time. … Continue reading
“Inedibility”
I posted a version of this on Facebook earlier and then deleted it when it annoyed someone over there, but it’s stuck in my head, so here it is. Food is a major topic in my reading and teevee watching. … Continue reading →
