Cheez Balls!
Cheez Balls!, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. Wow. Just…wow! I’ve written before of my love-affair as a kid with Planters Cheez Balls. Those things were wonderful, just wonderful…and they’re gone. Made no longer. They live now only in Valhalla, where only … Continue reading
Sunday Burst of Weird and AWESOME!
Oddities and Awesome abound! I actually don’t have a lot this week, as I’ve been busier with other pursuits than nosing about my usual haunts on Teh Interweb. But I’ve got to share this: I am so boiling some eggs … Continue reading

Cutting the meat for her? Why not just eat it, too?!
Photo958, originally uploaded by All Things Jennifer. Jennifer Smith posted this photo, and I remember seeing the article in the paper. It cracked me up. Someone wrote in to Miss Manners to ask if the man should cut the lady’s … Continue reading
Runaway trains! Antiques! Food! Pies! What a weekend!
