It’s toasted!
So I tried a new beer: Well, it’s new to me, anyway. It’s not “new”. Blue Point Brewing of Long Island has been around since 1998, although now it’s a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch. I’ve seen this label with its pleasant-looking … Continue reading
Wine and Wind: A Weekend
(This is a “What We Did On Our Vacation” post, with lots of linkage to businesses we frequented and liked. Of course, this being WNY, it’s followed by a commentary on some suddenly shitty weather.) So this weekend was our … Continue reading

Adventures in Junk Food
So, let’s talk Combos! I first remember Combos showing up in the 1980s, but from what I’m reading online they actually came out in the 1970s. Maybe the 80s were when the first big marketing push happened. If you’ve never … Continue reading
Adventures in Junk Food
For several years now, the fine folks at Lay’s have been coming up with interesting potato chip flavors. Some are OK (“Garlic Cheese Bread”), and some are…not (“Chicken and Waffles”, which I tried, and “Cappuccino”, which I did not). This … Continue reading
Munchies!!!
I like to try new (or new to me) snack foods and candy on occasion. And by ‘on occasion’, I mean, ‘all the time’. I try not to try new snack foods and candy all the time, but…well, I do … Continue reading
One Memory of Each Grandmother
I never knew my grandfathers. Both had passed away long before I arrived on the scene. My grandmothers, though? Both lived into my teens, when–quite sadly–both passed away within about six months of each other. Grammy, my father’s mother, went … Continue reading
How I made Gluten-Free Fried Chicken, lived to tell the tale, and was worshiped as a hero
The Wife and I both share a love of fried chicken, because fried chicken is awesome and people who don’t like it are wrong and unhappy. We don’t indulge fried chicken all that often, because it is admittedly not the … Continue reading

Making Mojitos!
My favorite cocktail is undoubtedly the Dark And Stormy, but the wonderful Mojito runs a very close second. Here’s how I make them! We start with some mint. Here I have eight smallish leaves, lightly crushed between my fingers and … Continue reading
Shakshuka!
The Wife and I have become big fans of the Alton Brown-hosted cooking competition show Cutthroat Kitchen, and not just for its gonzo competition stuff but because it also has actually broadened our food horizons a bit, whenever the challenge … Continue reading
The Host who can Boast the Most Roast
So I saw an article last week someplace, maybe Facebook, about a recipe that had somehow gone viral: “Mississippi Roast”. The recipe is insanely simple: 1. Spray your crockpot with cooking spray. 2. Throw in a chuck roast, around 3 … Continue reading
