The Pinnacle of Western Civilization
Via SDB: Chicken-fried bacon. I want some. I suppose that John Scalzi‘s already had some, which is why I hate him.
Comfort Food
Roger commented on a list of “comfort foods”, indicating his thoughts on each particular item. I, of course, shall do the same. Because I’m a follower, not a leader. Apple Pie: Yup, that’s a comfort food. Especially served warm with … Continue reading
A very public service message
Since today is Super Sunday, it occurs to me that some people out there might be wanting to try to make their own Buffalo-style chicken wings. Well, I’ve got you covered here, folks: some years ago I posted the recipe. … Continue reading
Always room for pie!

Cute Kitchen Gadgets
Teapot II, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. I posted a series of photos of this item to my Flickr stream, but I wanted to mention it here as well: a nifty single-serving teacup for brewing loose tea. I love this thing. … Continue reading
